Staff were lovely, food was great. The bar in the hotel is open until 10 so there is chatter until then but that didn’t bother us and as soon as it hit 10 it was silent. Beautiful location and rooms

Really, Really enjoyed our stay, all the staff were very polite, very friendly, especially Emma the Supervisor. Very clean room, comfortable bed. We were pleased, as one reviewer had said it was noisy, with the rooms being over the bar, and loud music, this was not true. We were celebrating our 36th wedding anniversary. Try it for yourself.

absolutely delightful. I arrived later than expected because of terrible rain and the proprietor called to check on me and waited up and prepared for me a boxed breakfast because I was super leaving early in the morning. The room was lovely and all the facilities you could need. I slept really well. Would recommend and return.

Great stay in a little gem

Very friendly welcome and happy to meet our breakfast requirements for an early start. Lovely bright and airy room with everything you would need for an overnight stay. Balcony was a great bonus although the outside furniture was a little tired and should be replaced. Even though the room was over a bar and beer garden, there was very little noise and we slept well. Lovely cafe across the road did a very good cooked breakfast for those who wanted more than continental. Also an excellent fish and chips shop just a stone’s throw away.

Bright and cheerful rooms

We enjoyed our stay, the room was lovely and bright and spotlessly clean and all the staff were friendly and helpful. The beds were very hard and uncomfortable though. The meal we had was lovely, it was a tapas menu. On the second night, we went out to eat and there was no room in the bar for us when we returned. The bar is quite small and catered to people wanting meals. We went into the marquee, but, as it was pouring down, it was quite cold so we went to our room. The ice cream parlour attached to the bar was very large in comparison. Our room was number 1 which was over the bar so it was quite noisy. It was also facing the main road and was affected by traffic noise, although this didn’t bother us. Rooms 4 & 5 would be a better choices as they’re further away from the road and not over the bar.

Booked to stay here as a last minute night away and it was perfect! Staff on arrival were very helpful and polite! The room was beautiful, sea themed which was lovely! Sleeping area and bath room were both extremely clean, which is what you always want! We got settled and head down to GG’s for look and left with one of their delicious gelatos! Very lovely, huge portions and also great price! We had a walk along the estuary edge which is very scenic! For the evening they offered a tapas menu. The indoor seating was limited but they had additional seating outside or in the gazebo with heaters so we sat outside for our food which came within an ideal fast time and was all very tasty! In the morning we were offered breakfast to be brought to our room or the option of eating downstairs. We chose it downstairs and when arriving at 9am it was already set up and waiting for us! The lady who served us offered us a hot drink and made us feel very welcome always checking to see if we needed anything more! Overall experience was fantastic and would recommend to anyone wanting a short trip to unwind!

Room was ok but needed a hoover. Not been done for a few days. Towels and bedding were clean. Breakfast was included in price, but failed to mention not a hot meal. Cereals, yogurt and toast only. Cooked breakfast was extra. No mention of this when booking. Staff were pleasant. Room with balcony had very good views. No venue parking, just in the public car park across the way. Overall 3/5.

The hotel is lovely. Clean and fresh and a very relaxed atmosphere due to the staff being so friendly and helpful. The room was very nice with a great view and everything in it. Lovely en-suite tv hair dryer etc but the bed wasn’t comfortable at all. Very hard. That was a shame as after a long drive I was looking forward to a comfy sleep but instead had little sleep. That said if you like a hard mattress then it’s perfect. I would still give it a 9/10 for everything else

Room was modern, nice towels and the room had a balcony with a view over the Estuary. Breakfast was very nice. However, the shower only had one temperature which was scorching hot. There was no coffee in the room and only decaff tea.

We had a lovely one night stay whilst walking on Gower. Rooms are smartly appointed and comfy, in the evening there is an excellent small plates menu on offer plus ice cream parlour. Popular with locals so had a nice atmosphere, but by 10.30pm the crowds had gone and we had a quiet night's rest. Ideal for Wales Coast path walkers.

Won't be booking again.

No check in after 9pm meaning i didnt get a room for the night even though i paid. Offered to sleep in my car as long as i could use the room the following morning fora shower and have breakfast. This too was too much for them. Very inflexible rules which will not suit anyone where travel plans may be affected.

A second floor and a $191.00 cost (with balance) was not as large as I thought. Adequate bathroom; no chair to sit in. Location, location, location. Enjoyed Mumbles and the beach. This property has a lively Saturday night.
