Lovely boutique hotel & restaurant, in a great location on the waterfront Checked into the hotel for two nights in October 2025. One of our guests has mobility issues, but Clare, Andreas and Sarah went above and beyond to make her feel welcome and comfortable. Such a friendly and professional team.
Unfortunately no free parking nearby, but would definitely come back again.

Overall very happy with our stay. Staff were excellent, friendly and apologetic for the below reasons. Mumbles is the perfect ate way for the Gower Peninsula.
Lift not working which should have been mentioned on booking.
No room service on our stay.
Parking is expensive all around but it should be made clear that booking by app rather than card/cash allows you twice the amount of time. Limited free parking on street.
