Could be so much better.
Pros:

Staff were friendly, efficient and very hard working. They had to be as Hotel seemed badly understaffed generally.
Up ramp car park was good.

Cons:

The interior bar area was uninviting and cramped. Outside area much better. How frequently place was either understaffed or had no one on duty. More like an Airbnb or motel than hotel. Bedrooms cluttered. All about theme and style rather than practical guest convenience. Who needs an unusable bedside table because all room taken up by large, theme style phone as just one of many examples.

Good value for money and excellent access to the Mumbles
Pros:

We booked a dog friendly lodge and it was great to have our own entrance. The room was also very spacious. The towels were a decent size and the shower was great.

Cons:

The bed was a big springy.

Pros:

The staff were very pleasant and efficient.
The shower had good pressure and lots of hot water.

Cons:

The hotel is severely understaffed. Reception was often unmanned and there was always only member of staff in the restaurant.
The food was awful. We had dinner on one night and the lamb shank was inedible. We weren't charged for it when we complained but we would rather have paid for a good meal. Breakfast was very poor. There was a limited choice of unripe fruit and the bread was of very poor quality.
There was no lounge and the bar lacked charm, atmosphere and comfort.

Very good will return , just need someone around to sort out small maintenance issues.
Pros:

Room very clean and comfortable, got good nights sleep, didn’t get to sample evening meal as the restaurant was closed, but breakfast was good, the staff were friendly and the tables were all set nicely.

Cons:

In the room bedside light kept flickering as it was very wobbly, loose connection and the toilet roll didn’t work couldn’t get tissue out and shower tray filled with water just needs drain un blocker. Would like to have mentioned at reception in morning for maintenance but no one there. Breakfast good but the croissants were poor not fresh, would be nice for some berries to put on yogurt. Sorry didn’t like the metal cups for juice you can smell metal when drinking would prefer glass.

Pros:

Gutes Restaurant

Cons:

Wir hatten einen grossen Balkon, der aber leider sehr ungepflegt war. Das Bett war schmal und in der Mitte höher als am Rand. Der riesige Zimmerschlüssel sollte überdacht werden. Die Treppe zu den Zimmern und die Gänge sind sehr eng mit Koffer.

Pros:

The hosts were very kind and accommodating.the good was exceptional as there was a restaurant on the premises.
