Located in the very centre of Swansea, Cwtsh Hostel offers the perfect starting point for an exploration of the city and its stunning surroundings. With convenient public transport access both to and around Swansea you can easily explore while staying at Cwtsh Hostel.
Swansea Railway Station is a short walk down High Street from Cwtsh Hostel and is well connected to the greater UK rail network making it a great choice for travel to Swansea as well as day trips a little further afield. Consider a day trip to Tenby, a charming coastal town with its colorful houses, sandy beaches, and old town walls.
Coach travel to Swansea is another viable, cheaper option. The coach station is also a short walk to the hostel and doubles as Swansea’s main bus station, providing access to the cliffs and beaches of the Gower Peninsula, the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Copr Bar, located directly opposite Cwtsh Hostel, is worth a visit for their craft beers and games room alone, but they also offer bike rental. Rent a bike and pedal your way to the Mumbles, a charming seaside village with a scenic promenade. Enjoy the sea breeze as you cycle along the Swansea Bay coastline. The Mumbles offers a variety of cafes, shops, and the iconic Mumbles Pier, providing a perfect spot to rest and take in the surroundings.
On foot, take a stroll to the Marina and enjoy the waterfront views. Explore the National Waterfront Museum, offering insights into Swansea's industrial past. On Cwtsh Hostel’s doorstep you'll find the lively Wind Street, home to a myriad of pubs and restaurants, perfect for a night out.
