옥스위치 베이 호텔

This hotel is right next to one of the best Gower beaches. Once you have arrived after battling through the narrow Gower roads, you may well not need the car again until departure. On the spot are beach and coastal path walks, and there is an adequate bus service for trips further away. The staff are high quality and engaging, but (probably to be expected for the location) this is not a cheap hotel. Example prices are £4.50 for a pint of beer and £14.95 for fish and chips. The food was generally good - the vegetarian meals were excellent. The dining room was packed out for breakfast. I have seen more limited breakfast choices of food, but it was not what we expect for such a hotel - eg fresh grilled tomato was not served. Our luxury double room (Pobbles) was comfortable and had a good sea view, but was rather cramped - especially the bathroom. We will probably return as the location is so good.

The rooms were beautiful, we came for a wedding and everything was great, apart from one barmaid serving in the marquee that looked like she didn't want to be there. We asked for drinks and she kept saying they didn't have it when we could see the bottle behind her. Reception staff were so so friendly and the wedding was great. Breakfast was lovely and the inside of the hotel was amazing especially the ceremony room and breakfast room. We definitely will be back to visit with our family.

Made to feel slightly unwelcome as the hotel caters for weddings ( both days) and normal guests are quite simply treated as second class citizens - example - being locked out of the lounge ( only comfy seats in the hotel) as the wedding party were using it. Add to this other wedding related disappointments like the 5:30 check-in time and it’s a big no from me.

Liked the property overall, stunning views. Downside no disabled assistance at any entrance to the reception, no lifts to rooms as their are no floor level rooms in the hotel. Not really suitable for disabled people they should advertise the fact. Loved the hotel but would not use again for the above reasons.

Cannot fault the location, wonderful sea views at breakfast. I stayed in one of the secret garden pods. A few issues with cleanliness which were only minor but disappointing all the same given the price and detracted from what was comfortable stay. I would say you are certainly paying for the location rather than the property itself but I can’t deny that the location is worth it! My tip would be to book directly with the hotel as there are deals to be had which aren’t available via online third party booking sites.
