“I noted the very friendly and helpful staff, with some commenting on the excellent Welsh breakfast, including lava bread and cockles, which sounds like a treat. Free parking and proximity to both Swansea's attractions and the golf course are definite pluses, though some rooms may need a bit of refreshing.”
