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.

Poor choice

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.

Simply Perfect

Hotel not ideal for less abled people due to steep stairs and no lift.This is the only complaint. Otherwise it was absolutely wonderful. The room was comfortable and had an amazing sea view to wake up to. Dining area is soo romantic if that's what your looking for with it's exposed tree trunks supporting the roof and fireplace with tealight candles on every table accompanied by ambient spot lighting. Food was delicious and vast and staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. The hotel itself is in an idealic position overlooking Oxwich Bay with breathtaking views and set in delightful grounds. I highly recommend.

Minimal but comfortable.

Spent 3 nights there this week in a secret garden pod. Minimal but comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, good choice and plentiful. Felt it was a bit rushed on Friday morning but they were busy. Lovely to watch the sea as we ate breakfast. Perfect for a day on the beach and plenty of parking.

Great hotel, shame about the room.

Everything about the hotel is great apart from the room ("pod" cabin). Far too small, no wifi and TV did not work.

Amazing hotel! We booked The Three Cliffs deluxe room. The view from the room was astonishing! Enjoyed that. Room itself was okay. I didn’t see anything ‘deluxe’ there but that’s not the point. The stuff was friendly as well. Couple of tiny little issues. Couldn’t find a parking place in our arrival as the car park was full due to some kids festival, so my husband got nervous after a long way from Nottingham. The breakfasts are alright but not a big variety of food. Overall I’d give them 4 out of 5. And I do recommend this hotel for everyone because of the location and affordable prices.

Not what expected as we booked a room to in the main hotel to find out this was an annex 300 meters down road from hotel, and bar and restaurant. So not very convenient. Not very pleasant on reception to our complaints. Also overcharged on leaving. Would think twice about going again.

Pod-tastic!

We enjoyed a last minute getaway to The Oxwich Bay Hotel. Our accommodation was a pod located in The Secret Garden part of the hotel. The pods are in the there second year or season so still look very smart both inside and outside. Inside there is everything you need for an overnight stay with everything in it's place, inside the cosy pod. Very warm, clean and comfortable too. The pull-down double bed was a bit of a novelty and clever piece of design. The food in the restaurant was delicious and to a very high standard. The chef and team in the kitchen certainly know what they are doing! Breakfast was very welcome too and the view of the sea whilst eating it was a delight. Our only regret is that we both wish we could have stayed longer.

Deeply disappointed.

Bedside lighting no good for reading. The room was pokey, not our idea of a luxury room especially at £179/night for b and b. The best thing was the view but you had to sit on the end of the bed to enjoy it. We thought that we had booked the best accommodation as it was our wedding anniversary choice and hence our disappointment. The general decor was dark, brown, black and gloomy; it did not match the wonderful seaside setting. The dining room was ill-lit, difficult to read the menu, and the lounge was equally dark and not coducive to relax in.......Well you did ask!

The first room we were offered was a disgrace and we refused to stay in it. The second room was adequate for the two night stay we had booked. The location is good, the staff were good and the food was reasonable but quite expensive for what it was. It appears that most of the rooms are actually outside of the hotel and situated in static homes our outlying cottages which necessitates a 200 yard walk to the hotel, ok in good weather not so good in the rain. In all honesty, despite the good location, I would not recommend this hotel to a friend for fear of them being disappointed.
