The room was very clean and comfortable with ensuite shower room - traditional decor throughout - included fluffy towels, small TV, tea/coffee making facilities and hairdryer. The full English breakfast was perfectly cooked. Free WiFi and on road parking. We had no complaints and good for a one night stay when passing through the area.

I booked this delightful accomodaton for just one night, had a delightful, spotless room and such a warm and helpful welcome. They gave us advice on where to find our destinations and were very impressed by Dena and Andy, who quickly seemed like old friends. The room was spacious and comfortable and it was so quiet in this delightful area.... More

For my first ever stay in a B&B this was first class. Spent one night in this really cosy bed and breakfast with my boyfriend and we were met by Andy and Dena, who were friendly and genuine. They were very happy to help, recommending a good restaurant down the road and places to go for a drink. Our room... More

With no expectations prior to arriving, I found this marvellous little B and B to be just what I needed when so far away from home. The welcome and attention is first class and the friendliness made a huge difference to my brief stay. I have certainly found a base for future visits to Swansea.

We've stayed in quite a few B&Bs and hotels in Swansea over the last ten years and this is definitely the best. It's in a quiet location within walking distance of the marina and the town. The rooms are spotless, the beds very comfortable, and it's so nice to have proper branded toiletries! The cooked breakfasts are delicious. Andy and... More

I arrived late at night in the pouring rain. Got in eventually and was offered a *free* upgrade to a suite instead of the room I'd booked because the hotel wasn't that busy. Excellent. Also, Dena offered to carry my suitcase upstairs, even though I am 6" 4' and broad with it and she's only quite middling in height and... More

Thank you for your feedback. We started requesting that guests eat hot takeaway food in the dining room after a series of accidents caused staining on bedding and towels. This may have occured when guests eat while sitting on the bed. Also, some types of takeaway can leave lingering smells when eaten in an enclosed room which can be difficult... More

Comfortable room, decent breakfast, good location in a part of Swansea with a choice of restaurants and free on street parking. I won't be rushing back to Swansea, but if and when I return I would happily stay at the Crescent. The Gower peninsula is nearby and the coastal scenery and walks are fabulous. I suspect Swansea also has its... More

Thankyou for the kind comments. Andy & I are pleased that you both enjoyed your short break with us. You both packed a lot of sight-seeing into those three days, even though the weather was not so kind! If you both ever return to Swansea to visit Gower, we would be pleased to have you both stay with us. Thanks... More
