The hotel is perched up a very steep hill, offering clean rooms with twin basins in the en suite and luxurious towelling robes and towels. The broken chair in our room was a downside, causing some disturbance at night. The service was top-notch, especially from Tom the assistant manager. The location in a lovely rural area of Swansea was beautiful and tranquil, ideal for outdoor walks and stunning views. The dining experience offered excellent quality and range, although the menu choices were a bit limited. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor room issues and great service.

The hotel was great, spacious enough for us and our 2 little girls and a fabulous bathroom. The room was at the back of the hotel and quite dark, even on a bright day. The extractor outlet outside our window made it noisy, but overall, it was a comfortable stay.
