About Cockett
Where to stay in Cockett
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Cockett railway station gives the district a stop of its own, which counts for more here than the tally of beds, since most visitors sleep in Swansea and ride out. Very few beds sit inside Cockett itself. Carmarthen Road carries the traffic past the war memorial and Capel Bethlehem.
Anyone staying in Cockett gets a base a short run from Gowerton and from the centre of Swansea.
