Our room was spacious and comfortable, but very hot, even though two portable fans were provided, because the heating pipes were permanently on, but even so, the availability of hot water was unreliable. Lovely view of the beach and across the bay to The Mumbles.

The location is great . The food and service is excellent. Hotel is a little tired and has a few layers of paint . Bed was comfortable. Shower overbath was usable the water was generally hot but fluctuated. Would probably stay again as the price of the room reflected this.

Ok, good location

Stayed overnight to be close to the office. Reception is nice, clean, spacious. However there was a £10 extra charge for my pet which I only found out at check in. The room was very dated. It was extremely hot. As soon as I entered I turned the radiator to the lowest setting, opened the window as wide as possible and it was still far too warm hours later. There was an event on so the music was loud and worse from the open window. No ironing board or iron- had to request these. Brought my own water for my dog and because the room was so warm even it was roasting

first impression not good but value for money

Hotel a bit dated and in need of refurbishment, on arrival saw the food hygiene rating was a 1 but we ate dinner and breakfast in the hotel which was fine, plenty of choice at breakfast and the food was hot, eggs cooked to order! Room was clean good bed and pillows swimming pool and spa was closed The whole area is quite run down don't let first impressions put you off.

Don't let the outside appearance put you off. The staff were lovely, it was nice and warm, very clean and nicely decorated. The walls are a bit thin though so the sound proofing is not great.

Great relaxing break.

Havnt been here for quite some time. Big revamp makes a big difference. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. One issue was the room was very warm. Even when the radiators were tyrned off. However they did provide a fan. Evening Food was good, breakfast was ok, with the exception of the poached egg, that was perfect.
