Green Gateway to the Gower
Upon seeing Swansea for the first time, it hits you just how green it is, especially when viewed from Kilvey Hill. On a clear day the views stretch as far as sweeping Swansea Bay and even the undulating Mumbles headland at the edge of the Gower Peninsula - the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with unspoilt beaches.
The Gower is also known for its castles, including Oystermouth Castle and Loughor Castle, overlooking the city from a hilltop. Swansea itself also has castle ruins which are Grade I listed, as is the Guildhall with its lavish interior frescoes.
Most historic city centre buildings were sadly lost during World War II, but the elegant Grand Theatre survived, as did Dylan Thomas’ childhood home in Uplands. The Swansea Museum – the oldest in Wales – is opposite the National Waterfront Museum and the LC indoor waterpark.
Offshore conditions are good for kitesurfing, and the marina shelters yachts overlooked by Wales’ tallest building: The Tower, Meridian Quay. The nearby SA1 Waterfront complex is becoming popular for its bars and restaurants, while shopping options include a covered market and the Morfa Shopping Park by Liberty Stadium, home to the city’s football and rubgy union teams.
Booking.com’s Swansea accommodation includes luxury hotels, cheap apartments and guest houses with parking.

We used Swansea as a base for the Gower and found it suitably placed for our visit, we also visited Skewen and Neath for historical family reasons.
We would go back to this hotel again.
The evening meals had a very limited menu and some of the quality of produce was not great.
Favourite places were the Theatre and Bay.
Easy to get around very close to amenities.
We would avoid eating in the hotel restaurant and The secret beach bar and kitchen.

The city has excellent tourist facilities and offers.
The city has excellent tourist facilities and offers. We can mingle with the locals at the local market. The only con is that local commerce closes at 18h. You can reach most of tourist sites by foot. Or if you rent a bike at bike hub is another option. You have many supermarket and many restaurants to choose.

Swansea has a wide sandy beach - several miles long that stretches round the bay to Mumbles . modern marina with waterfront restaurants- I recommend the Welsh Hose - delicious , reasonably priced traditional Welsh food- Just like Mam makes - with a touch of Welsh ouse magic . The Shed also nice, a touch pricy . tasty breakfast at Hoogah Cafe, Bar + Kitchen - recommend their local lavender lemonade, rose or lavender hot chocolate - healthy breakfasts, and light meals - delicious - worth the walk . Swansea Market a must visit- Famous for its free cockles and laver bread- Also sells all sorts of everything including fresh local produce - Butchers- Gower salt marsh lamb, great fishmongers and fresh vegetable stalls, Bakers- look out for the Swanse loaf - great with local butter sold by the pat .Freshly made welsh cakes . Cafes & snack counter, hardware stores, hover repairs - gifts - all sorts of stuff. Singleton and neighbouring Brynmill parks also delightful - LS1 is fun pool and liesure centre close to the town centre - there is also a 50 m pool for more serious swimming mid way around the bay - Max Boyce song suns up the hiraeth and the croeso youy will find at Swansea 'Im going home to Swansea town, where day is dawning, Im going home to Swansea town, a lovely sea town morning "

While Swansea’s industrial entrance and surrounding conditions left us unimpressed, the charm of The Mumbles and Gower more than made up for it. The quaint spots and delightful sea views offered a pleasant contrast, making the visit worthwhile.

Swansea is an up and coming town that has plenty to offer IF you can find somewhere to park. You can often spend a long part of your day trying to find suitable parking that isn't too far away from where it's all happening.
Certainly worth visiting for a few days. Plenty of shops to peruse and cafes to sit in and people watch.
Stunning views across the bay and lovely beaches all within a few minutes drive.
There are plenty of restaurants to choose from and different cuisines. Taxis available if you don't want to drive and most are friendly.
Different seasons offer different views of Swansea so it's best to try out the town throughout the year.
Just don't forget. It's not the weather that's the problem! It's the poor choice of clothing!
Guests are made very welcome and all of the staff make up an excellent team. The phrase ‘ to go the extra mile’ perfectly describes the service we experienced. This extends to the 90th Birthday celebration the Gower Hotel laid on. The attention to detail, the artistic touches, the top class menu fare, all with a very friendly and personable yet professional provision. This is gem of an Hotel, not only for holiday breaks, but for large celebratory events. Very happy to return when we next visit Swansea.
Lovely, friendly staff who were very keen to help and make our stay as comfortable as possible. Clean rooms, especially the bathroom. Excellent, central location, right in the city centre and close to lots of restaurants and amenities. Despite central location, hotel was quiet and comfortable beds gave us a good nights sleep. Hotel has own off street car park behind the hotel, which is much cheaper than the surrounding multistories.
The hotel room was Lovely, and in the Marina the hotel room was clean and the bed very comfortable! Lovely hotel, easy cheap parking if I remember correctly it was only £5 for the 24hrs.
Plenty of restaurant choices around and can order just eat no issues our food was even delivered to the room!.
Location fab for Marina and the city centre for a night out etc and very close to the grand Theatre.
Very nice hotel. We had drinks and food in the bistro which was good value and very nice.
The room was large and with a private balcony, also we had a jacuzzi bath which was great! There was a mini fridge in the room and plenty of tea and coffee.
Just a short walk to the centre of Swansea, and the carpark is literally just over the bridge behind the hotel for £6 a night.
The hotel staff are friendly and helpful. Loved the style of the building and decor. The beds were really comfortable, I had the best sleep I’ve had for a long time. The location is great, just over the road from the main shopping and restaurant area, and a short walk to Swansea arena. We were very impressed with the hotel & will definitely go there again.
We had a one night stay in this lovely hotel with friendly staff and plenty of free onsite parking. It is conveniently located a couple of miles off the M4 and about fifteen minutes' drive away from Swansea city centre. Our room was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. The breakfast was good with plenty of cooked and continental options.
Spaciousness and all amenities available. Generous house which was well equipped with more than enough self-catered facilities. Plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms for our family of 5. Tasteful decor and great to return to after a long day's hike on the beach in the pouring rain. Easily accessible to City Centre and Swansea Beach.
The hotel was quite nice, the lady who checked me in was really lovely and really helpful with suggestions on what to do around Swansea.
The housekeeping staff were really lovely and always ready to help. I also liked that you could skip daily room cleans, which was a win for me sustainability wise
Loved having plenty of space for our family group of six adults to spread out after a long day in a car or walking around markets. This is great place in a very good location just outside downtown. I would be thrilled to use it again if I'm every back in Swansea.
It was very close to where we needed to get too which was the Swansea Arena. Staff were very polite, we had a free complimentary drink in the hotel too with a large selection of options.
Cases were also carried to our rooms. Absolutely spotlessly clean.
Great to have a whole apartment instead of just a hotel room, had to do some work while I was there so good to have a nice lounge area, bed was comfy, weather was very cold but luckily heating was easy to use and apartment warms up really quickly.
Beautiful & clean apartment in a convenient area for all things central Swansea. Rachel was great with communication and very flexible with her time (to meet us with keys and explain things in the flat).
Very good central location. The hotel room was nice and clean and the hotel staff were 1st rate and very friendly. I fully recommend the Dolphin Hotel and book again next time l visit Swansea.
Executive room, which I was glad I chose was good, main hotel area not as good. Parking area also good, location good for town centre.
Nice spa facilities. Staff friendly and helpful.
Very central location, so great for exploring Swansea city centre. Very friendly and helpful staff! Room very good, nice bed. Definitely would use again.
