Host Daffyd was very helpful and full of local knowledge. Room very comfortable. Breakfast excellent with plenty of options. Use of outside courtyard was ideal for hot summer evenings.

Stuart United Kingdom

Good to have a choice of 3 types of breakfast- full Welsh, vegetarian or continental. Booking your breakfast by text the night before meant there was no waiting.

Jean United Kingdom

This is my second stay at Blas Gwyr. Second time as I really rated it from my first experience. The B&B is lovely. It's been renovated perfectly. Rooms are high quality and comfortable. The location is a short walk to Rhossili and Broughton beaches, or a very short car journey. The little village of llangennith is picturesque. Good pub! Dafydd and staff are all so friendly and efficient. Several breakfast options and a comfy little breakfast room to eat in.

Lydia United Kingdom

Amazing stay in a beautiful location with a very helpful host.

Danielle United Kingdom

The location was great for the village and only a short drive to the beach. The room was very nice and cool on a very warm couple of days we stayed. Breakfast was excellent and set you up for the day, very good local produce. Most of all was the welcome and advice we received from our host. Thank you very much

Wayne United Kingdom

Very roomy, comfortable accomodation in a really stunning part of Wales. Good breakfasts. 10 min to Broughton Bay, a beautiful, almost empty beach for swimming. A super place to stay to explore the Gower. 10/10 to Daffydd for recommending a local garage who fixed our car within 24 hours. A friendly host who also knew the local paths.

Heather United Kingdom

Quiet, perfect location, genial host, good breakfast.

Susan United Kingdom

Everything. The hospitality (Dafydd), location and the beautiful surroundings.

Kate United Kingdom

The owner was very friendly and made you feel welcome in all aspects, the room was lovely and breakfast was value for money. the surrounding area was quaint and the local pub, the King's head served great food, it was a bit pricey from where I come from but the food was lovely. the only thing about the pub that let it down was it allowed dogs in while you ate a meal.

Day United Kingdom

Very tidy, comfortable and clean premises with an extremely welcoming and helpful host. Wonderful situation for walking and terrific beaches. Excellent value.

Host Information

Host review score
Blas Gwyr is a stylish, laid back boutique bed and breakfast located in the heart of the Gower seaside village of Llangennith. Surrounded by glorious Gower beaches and spectacular countryside this unique property stylishly combines the old and the new and is an ideal hideaway from the stresses and strain of the modern world. Despite being designated as Britain’s first ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ the Gower peninsula has largely remained one of Wales’ best kept secrets. A destination just waiting to be discovered, its beaches are among the best in the UK, where a hidden bay and rocky cove give way to long empty stretches of sand. But there’s more. Magical coastal walks, top class restaurants and cosy country pubs vie with castles, Arthurian legend and stunning beaches as the main attraction. And if that’s not enough then Swansea Bay and the thriving seaside village of Mumbles is but a short drive away. Whether drawn to the area by its undisputed natural beauty or by its reputation as one of Britain's premier surfing destination, at Blas Gwyr you’re only minutes away from the action. Here at Blas Gwyr a very warm Welsh welcome awaits. Part grade II listed building ...
Blas Gwyr is located in the heart of the popular Gower seaside village of Llangennith.

The local pub, The King's Head, is approximately 150m away. A choice of pubs and restaurants to be found within 15mins by car
