Lovely peaceful location.
Plenty of places to visit and so close to Cardiff and Swansea but the small towns are pretty, worth a visit.
Lots of local amenities and an abundance of good restaurants.
Lots of things going on even out of season.

Changed quite a lot over the years. Plenty shops and resterants , Sumerset Arms do lovely meals and the staff are amazing! My husband recommends the ribs 😋
Port Talbot is easy to get around.
We would avoid going to the Twelve Knights the place has really gone down hill since we stayed last year especially the food.

The hotel looked a little run down on the outside - a bit like the area around it. Inside the hotel, however, it was clear that the staff and the facilities were excellent and everyone was friendly and helpful. The location, beside the park, the promenade and the beach, is wonderful. We found that there was lots to do nearby and we had a lovely time. Food in the hotel (breakfast and dinner) was adequate and there were lovely restaurants and bars close at hand.

A good location that allows visitors to travel to many places of interest across south Wales.
The steel works is a real eyesore with its belching out of emissions, especially if visiting the sea front.

Breakfast is an all you can eat full English buffet, and strong cofree, the perfect start to your day that carry you well into the afternoon. The beds are a dream, so soft, nice, and firm. Nice, big sized rooms, comfy furniture.
Great location up in the hills above Port Talbot. The lodge is at the start of the mountain bike trails and is popular with groups, with a bunk house, glamping and camping. I had a room in the lodge which was very comfortable and clean, giving a wonderful night's sleep. All the staff were very friendly. Food is served at the weekends in the cafe, good hearty outdoorsy food. This isn't a grand hotel and you shouldn't expect it but the location is unbeatable and the staff make you very welcome.
Staff very friendly, location was amazing. Port Talbot beach is amazing to walk along. Had a faulty shower in room 5 but messaged owners and they had a handyman to come and fix it, and whilst is was getting fixed they allowed us to use another room to have a shower, super fast wifi, very quiet after 9:30pm. What a beautiful family ran company, i planned for a 2 night stay but due to unforeseen circumstances I had to drive back home and they have offered 1 night free. Brilliant host
I was informed on arrival that I had been upgraded to one of the Deluxe Double Rooms, which was such a pleasant surprise. My room was very nice, clean, modern and spacious. The bed was extremely comfortable with a nice firm mattress and clean, fresh smelling bedding. The bathroom was large and the walk in shower was perfect. The staff were all friendly and professional and helped make my stay quite memorable. I travelled by train and the hotel could not be closer to the station.
Hotel in a lovely setting, near to walking & bike trails.
Good sized clean, warm comfortable room with lovely view.
Quality towels & bedding, continuous hot water.
Good supply of tea, coffee & biscuits, room serviced
daily.
Really good breakfast & excellent evening meals, presented beautifully.
Very friendly & helpful staff.
Coat hooks!
Very dog friendly!
Location was perfect for us, across from the train station, near the choir hall. The hotel is working to upgrade, the hallways need help, but our room was comfortable and clean! The breakfast was not the usual British fair but a nice change with smoked fish and cheese toast etc. They would have sent us out for the usual but we were glad we stayed!
We were very happy with the location, across the road from the beach 🏖️. Plenty of reasonably priced public transport for people not wanting to drive 😊. The outside of the building was not very appealing but the inside of the hotel was clean, tidy, nicely decorated and the staff were very helpful.
Booked originally to be near seniors golf . But the entertainment in the evening was an added bonus with the most agreeable food could not fault it.I would certainly highly reccomend Blancos
Beautiful location, you can enjoy a stunning mountain view while sitting outside or inside the restaurant. Clean and comfortable rooms. Close to the Afan Bike Park and biker friendly.
I liked most things. The evening food was great, the breakfasts not so much. The guy in the bar in the evenings was wonderful. Funny, informative, engaging. An asset to the hotel.
