Welcome To Swansea

On the beautiful south coast of Wales at the entrance to the Gower Peninsula, Swansea is a lovely seaside city. Described by the poet Dylan Thomas, Swansea's most famous son, as 'the ugly, lovely town', Swansea has something for all tastes.

Beautiful coastal scenery, peaceful parks full of flowers, exciting night-life, museums, theatre, cinema and sports will keep you busy during your stay.

The people of South Wales have a reputation for being friendly and if you stay with one of our carefully selected host families you will experience the warmth of a real Welsh welcome.
