Working Class paradise!
Pros:

Talking to a Miner, Fisherman and Wharfie reminds me of my working class upbringing!

Cons:

I never got to go through the caves at the beach and didn't play and snooker!

Good location. Quiet and clean. Spacious public kitchen.
Pros:

Public kitchen is nice and spacious.

Cons:

If two keys can be provided for us that would be better. Or, a keyless PIN lock can solve it. Can't access the car park in the morning through back door until 10 am.

Pros:

Good location + rooms are great value for money. Food and staff were also good

Cons:

Rooms are bit older but not really a downside considering the price, Just something to be aware of if you are fussy.

Pros:

Large room with a sofa and a large TV. The room was warm and had a beautiful window with a north aspect, so nice in winter. Comfortable bed and modern bathroom. Parking and easy check-in. Good value.

Cons:

No where to hang your clothes. Loud party next door run all night, which spoilt our our stay

Old style pub close to amenities and Swansea Channel. Great dining and bar facilities. Definitely recommend.
Pros:

Our room (no 8) and ensuite bathroom were very spacious and clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. Pub had a great bar and dining setup with inside and outside areas.

Cons:

The only thing was access is only by stairs which mightn’t suit some people, especially carrying baggage.
