Exploring Swansea and the Gower

The hotel sits a few miles from the heart of Swansea, a lively waterfront city with a revitalised marina and Maritime Quarter, the National Waterfront Museum and the long sweep of Swansea Bay curving round to the seaside village of Mumbles. Just beyond lies the Gower Peninsula — the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty — with its celebrated beaches at Caswell, Langland and the spectacular Three Cliffs Bay all within easy reach, and the Brecon Beacons around half an hour inland. It is a well-placed base for a city-and-coast holiday. For more places to stay and things to do nearby, see our guide to accommodation in Swansea.
