Disappointing.
Pros:

Nothing in particular . In fact was a pub with rooms above . Nothing like in the pictures the rooms though

Cons:

The room given was a basic single room quite rudimentary for the money paid also you had to go though the pub to get in and out and after a certain hour you had to use the fire escape to get in and out of the room . Pretty sure not health and safety way of having guest exiting and entering accommodation apart from the emergency procedures .

Adequate. Breakfast didn’t happen
Pros:

Close to Margam park and tons of boiling hot water in bath

Cons:

Vehicles with missing wheels and broken windows in car park doesn’t inspire confidence . Police cell style door to room, dated and worn. Bar was noisy too loud to sleep so joined in the watching the karaoke
