The owners of a holiday let with its own bar have removed the optics and glasses after being issued with an enforcement notice by Swansea Council. Enforcement officers said the owners of the terraced house in Mumbles, known as The Bootlegger, had breached planning control because it had a bar and no dining room, and that therefore its "primary use is no longer a single dwelling house".
The notice said its use as commercial leisure accommodation had also adversely impacted adjoining residents because of noise and disturbance. The owners were told to remove all bar fixtures and fittings, and cease the use of the building as commercial leisure accommodation.
The Bootlegger, Mumbles Road, has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and bar area and is advertised on websites such as Booking.com and Airbnb. A week's booking on Airbnb from July 18 to July 25 for four adults would cost just over £2,300. A week's booking from September 26 to October 3 would cost just over £1,500, dropping to just over £1,000 two months later.
