I didnt know how truly cool a hotel i had booked until i got there. The parking was stupidly easy, the staff greeted me with a smile, the food at dinner was amazing. Along with breakfast the next day. The whole place is perfect for cute photos and the garden was ideal. i love how close it was to the city, but not part of it. I will be coming back to stay there. It was so well planned out with the staff so helpful and on time for everything. Love, love loved it

Hygiene needs improvement

Well managed friendly hotel. Good that they provide dedicated chalets in the grounds for guests with dogs, however allowing dogs in the restaurant for breakfast and dinner was very disappointing and unhygienic. A large mongrel was being fed toast from the table!

Amazing place just needs attention

Beautiful hotel with a very friendly landlady. Luxurious room. But the bed had a slope so that was a little uncomfortable and the breakfast was cold.

We stayed here the night before attending a wedding and what a great little find it was, we would definitely stay again. The room was really lovely and service at the hotel was great. The evening meal in the restaurant was stunning, attention to detail was second to none!

This hotel is a hidden Gem of the Gower, I got married here 2 years ago, Linda and the team were awesome then, went back for our 2 year anniversary and once again nothing was too much trouble for them, hotel has a real family feel to it and they make you feel so welcome.

The hotel and room were clean. However, the bed was not that comfortable as it had a slight slope on each side which tended to roll you out. Breakfast was OK but the food was obviously cooked in advance and then heated up to be served. This didn’t make the food as enjoyable as it would have been had it been freshly cooked.

Perfect little spot

This is such a little gem of a hotel. Was even nicer than I expected. And travelling solo, the lady at reception was so friendly, gave me advice on where to take a coastal walk nearby. Hope to try the breakfast next time, heard from a couple of locals that their breakfast and afternoon tea are fabulous. See you soon, can't wait to come back ☺️
