Perfectly located to all of the best of The Mumbles. Rooms and beds are very well appointed. Nice art on the walls. The Oyster House restaurant staff check you in and they are very helpful and easygoing.

Lovely boutique hotel & restaurant, in a great location on the waterfront Checked into the hotel for two nights in October 2025. One of our guests has mobility issues, but Clare, Andreas and Sarah went above and beyond to make her feel welcome and comfortable. Such a friendly and professional team. Unfortunately no free parking nearby, but would definitely come back again.

Overall very happy with our stay. Staff were excellent, friendly and apologetic for the below reasons. Mumbles is the perfect ate way for the Gower Peninsula. Lift not working which should have been mentioned on booking. No room service on our stay. Parking is expensive all around but it should be made clear that booking by app rather than card/cash allows you twice the amount of time. Limited free parking on street.

Perfect location, overlooking the beach and surrounded by eateries/bars for a buzzing nightlife! Bed super comfy and rainforest shower was awesome! Didn't get the chance to use the bar/restaurant but def will next time. It looks very swish and plenty of tables. The staff were fantastic too, super helpful and kind. Thank you 😊

Fabulous hotel.

We were greeted by a charming guy called Alex. He was so friendly and welcoming. He did his very best to give us a room with a sea view, even though we’d not originally requested one. Rooms are comfortable, bed was comfy and we slept well. The hotel is near all amenities and wonderful walks around Mumbles and the pier. We’ll definitely stay here again.

One of our favourite places we have stayed. Hotel was beautiful, location was fantastic and the views from the room were amazing! The bed is one of the most comfortable beds we’ve slept in. The staff were very attentive. We had breakfast on the outside terrace and that was delicious. We use to live in swansea so we knew parking on the road up by verdis is free so we parked there and walked down (parking by the hotel is pricey). Had the best stay! Highly recommend
