This was a busy evening . Issues checking in which seemed to be related to Expedia but didn’t give me the best first impression , hotel very busy car park full , lots of events on which went on until late , no plug sockets by bed to charge phone or watch , room comfy but basic bathroom average . Pool warm and ok gym functional . Male staff member opened my door room whilst I was getting changed which startled me and was uncomfortable . Not sure I would go again .

Nice hotel with excellent restaurant
We stayed in this hotel for one night whilst travelling and it was a nice hotel. The room was spacious, although it was very plain, and there was plenty of free parking. We ate dinner in the restaurant and the food was excellent and reasonably priced. The bar area and terrace was also nice. The only negative was that there was no bath mat so the bath was slippery.

Excellent welcome when we arrived from the receptionist. Breakfast was excellent and warm and the staff were very friendly. Hotel is a bit dated and could do with a little modification but the room was comfortable and spacious and the bathroom was in good shape too.

A very nice hotel in a quiet little community. Transportation can be difficult in this area as it’s a little removed from Swansea, but great value for money. Restaurant was excellent, staff was very helpful and accommodating when we had delays in getting transportation (uber & taxi). Hotel is a little dated, but well maintained. Would stay again!

Husbands birthday
Yes comfortable stay can’t help the weather. Lots of activities seem to take place through the day I personally recommend this is advertised to hotel residents and explained to. The guy that was directing traffic on the Wednesday morning was inconsistent let us move the traffic cones ourselves🤔then decided to shake his head and arms at me on return after being out, you can’t park yes I can I am a resident with a description of free parking on hotel policies?. You need to learn your customer service skills lovely even though you are only a maintenance man!!😡.

Bed like a hammock, anti English feel!
This is the fifth time I have stayed in this hotel as there is not much choice in the area Previous times have been acceptable but my stay on July 3, 2024 was just too much. The food is okay but the bed was so uncomfortable that I woke more tired than when I retired to bed, the double bed comprised of two cheap single divan beds, both of which were broken and it felt like I was sleeping in a hammock And needless to say, I woke with really bad back pain To addinsult to injury The housekeeper walked in at 9:15 without even knocking on the door with me just getting out the shower! I intended to complain at checkout but the receptionist never even looked at me or asked how my stay was which I think was down to the typical Welsh anti-English sentiment which is apparent upon arrival at the hotel as every flag is displayed by the English one
