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.

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

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.

The room was impeccable, the staff very helpful and they sell my favourite beer on tap in the bar. I had an evening meal from the bar which very well presented and good value. I would have no hesitation about recommending this establishment.

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.

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.

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.
