It's a fair drive from you, but we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Mumbles is next to the Gower, which is a fantastic peninsular with the most amazing beaches. Caswell Bay was a firm favourite as it has easy access, car parking, toilets, a shop, and most importantly, a stream which runs across the beach which can be dug in and dammed all day long! There are plenty of other beaches to enjoy though, Port Eynon, Horton, Rhossilli (with a shipwreck), Oxwich Bay (we always had tea in the Oxwich Bay Hotel when we went there), and some brilliant beaches with less easy access, but worth the walk, Pobbles, Three Cliffs Bay (amazing). Plenty of stuff to do in Swansea and surrounding area if the weather isn't brilliant (bound to happen one or two days). Kids tend to enjoy the simple stuff, a beach with a bucket and spade, an ice cream, maybe a trip to the amusement arcade in the evening for a go on the 2p falls, and they're happy!
We are in Yorkshire, we used to travel down to Weymouth or St Ives for a couple of weeks every year for our annual holiday, for several years. Nice beach in Weymouth, and some lovely places to visit all around Dorset. Always a bit warmer than Brid, Whitby and Filey, which coming from Yorkshire are handy places to visit for a few days if it's nice weather. Great Yarmouth is good for children, used to be a lot for them to do there.
Churchwood Valley, Wembury, Devon.
Log cabins, all mod.cons. Small garden to each cabin with barbecue. Trees, wild life, birds. Beautiful beach, rock pools, sand, cafe. Shop on site for essentials. Laundry facilities. Stables nearby for beginners or more advanced riders. Took children there many years ago. Took grandchildren there a few years ago. Would love to go again.
