Patricks Boathouse

First of all the good stuff. The arrangments for arrival were great. Good instructions for a key safe and really easy. A lovely bedroom, clean and nice decor with a good view out of the mumbles across swansea bay. The bathroom decor was also very good, modern an clean. There were three not so good things that made us cut our visit short by a night despite having paid for it. 1) temperature. When we arrived the rooms were cold. Checked tbe radiators but they were switched fully on with the radiator thermostats. The radiators were barely warm to the touch. As we were heading out for the evening amd in a rush we just kept our coats on and headed out. The next morning i headed into the lovely lòoking shower to find the water between cold and barely warm. My wife didn't have one. 2)parking. There is no parking and the description said there is good street parking or paid parking. Well even in december it was impossible to find a space within 1/4 mile of the place. Heaven knows what it is like in the summer. 3) breakfast. Well it was pathetic. A couple of the kiddies boxes of cereal, or two pots of youghurt in a noisy fridge by the bed. It didn't qaulify in my mind as even a continental breakfast. We didn't bother complaining as there was no reception but just came home early as it was warmer in the car.

Parking a big negative As was the driveway between two restaurants which was very steep. The entrance and staircase were lovely. Our room was two floors up steep stairs. The view was lovely. The tv was difficult to use. Bathroom large but lighting not great. The shower was large but grouting on grey tiles definitely needs attention. Breakfast cereals etc with fresh milk a nice touch. A definite turn off returning is parking on main road which is extremely busy and littered with dustbins from the large number of small restaurants. Bed was ok but hair on the sofa pillows not welcome

lovely place to stay. bright decor, large bed and huge bathroom with separate large bath and shower. breakfast in the fridge for our 2 nights. Great views of the bay and perfect base to explore the Gower

We were sent a lovely welcome email carrying instructions to gain access to the property and our rooms. The room was lovely with a massive comfy bed and a sofa facing the Juliet balcony giving us the wonderful view of Swansea bay. We had a huge bathroom with a gorgeous shower and big luxurious bathtub, loads of fluffy towels, toiletries and bathrobes. There was a tea and coffee bar with a plentiful supply of biscuits Welsh cakes and cereal the fridge was stocked with fresh milk, yoghurt and fruit juice. We were only a short walk from all that Mumbles had to offer. We would definitely recommend and will most certainly return.
