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!
