Mariner's View

This bright apartment makes the most of its position in the tallest building in Wales, with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with crisp light and jaw-dropping views. The furniture is modern and well-considered, but it takes a backseat to the unbeatable views over the Mumbles and Swansea Peninsula. Consider them your backdrop as you fix breakfast or dinner in the mezzanine. The home is equally close to the beach and Swansea town centre – a short five minutes’ walk – meaning it's a toss-up between dips in the sea or wandering around the shops. For meals out, restaurants, bars and pubs are within stumbling distance, though it's also worth having a car to explore this beautiful stretch of the South Wales coast.
