The Gower Hotel

The Gower Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is on turnoff right on a junction and down a steep narrow lane. Car parking is at the back of the hotel but it has quite a narrow entrance and is up a steep driveway. We managed to get our Mondeo in and up the drive, but it was a careful manoeuvre, We had one of the boutique bedrooms with a king-size. The room was spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished and very roomy, with a separate large bathroom with walk in shower and deep bath. Tea/coffee making facilities were included and the wi-fi had a strong signal and good speed. The Hotel has a snug bar and a large restaurant where breakfast was also served. The cooked breakfast offered was very generous and well cooked, and cereals, pastries and fruit were also available. We also had an evening meal which was excellent. The staff were all friendly and polite, and extremely helpful with their advice on places to visit and good places to eat (the restaurant was closed on the Monday when we arrived) The location is lovely and peaceful, within in easy driving to The Mumbles, Langlands and a 30 minute drive drive to beautiful Rhossili."

"Stayed here overnight and it was a very nice stay. The staff were super friendly and helpful about everything, very good all you can eat breakfast the next day and the facilities were fantastic too. We stayed in a superior deluxe room and it was a very generous size with a comfy bed and good double shower too. The only downside was the furniture looked a bit dated and the door to the bathroom was catching on the floor , but it didn't affect our stay at all. We will most definitely be back again"
