About this property

Marina Apartment by Switchback Stays

This two bedroom apartment is ideally located in Penarth Marina. It's spacious and stylishly decorated. The apartment is on the second floor.

There's a TV equipped with FreeSat and Roku streaming services. Fast WiFi and a space to work.

You will also have a designated parking space for one vehicle, along with additional parking if needed. The apartment is ideally located, just a 9 minute train ride to Cardiff Central Station and short walk into Penarth Town Centre & shops.

There are 2 bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other a king size. There's a large living room with plenty of space to relax. The well equipped kitchen has a dishwasher, Nespresso coffee machine along with all the usual facilities to prepare and enjoy meals.

There is a washing machine / dryer in the apartment and a dining table with space for 4 people.

You'll be staying in Penarth Marina. It's lovely to walk out from the apartment to explore the marina area and take the easy 15 minute walk to Cardiff Bay barrage.

It's quiet residential area with coffee shops, pubs, bars, supermarket, restaurants and train station all within a short walk. You can head out of the marina via a paved footpath into Penarth town centre. Be sure to make a visit to our favourite tapas place Bar 44, for a pint of craft beer at Crafty Devil or a gin at Etc. bar.

There's a bus stop just outside the apartment with a bus to Cardiff city centre every 30 minutes. We're 9 minutes on the train from The Principality Stadium, Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff Castle, St David's Shopping Centre, Cardiff City Stadium and all the city centre has to offer.

About the host

Hosted by Claire Powell

Host profile image
I'm Claire and I'll be your host at this apartment. Whilst I'm not on-site I'll be on-hand via messages or a phone call if you need anything. There's lots to see and do in the city
and I'd be happy to give you some recommendations.

Our business is called Switchback Stays and we run several properties as self-contained apartments for visitors to the city. We also live in Cardiff (and have done for over 20 years) so know the city and the surrounding areas well.

Outside of giving our guests a top-quality stay and experience I have a background in sport, specifically tennis. I have been a tennis coach for over 20 years and as a junior player reached national level. My proudest achievement came in 2019 when I had the fantastic opportunity to represent Great Britain in the Seniors World Team Championships.

Why they chose this property

I lived in this apartment for several years and LOVED it. The location is perfect for working or exploring Cardiff. Right on the Marina it's just a couple of minutes walk to one of my favourite restaurants The Deck and a short walk to Penarth Town Centre with it's independent bars, shops & restaurants. There's a supermarket very close by and the train station on the line into Cardiff city centre (just a 9 minute journey on the train).
