The Gower Golf Club

Very basic, overall condition/cleanliness just about average. Examples, main door handle loose and very floppy, internal light switch very loose. Nooks and crannies need better attention etc. Bedding was clean and acceptable. Ok for an overnight stay. Quiet area, good views from outside.

We booked two nights here and then read the reviews, some of which were pretty grim. That was not our experience. It suited our purposes, and we were happy with our stay. This is a golf club that has a few (9?) rooms, which it offers. As such, it is not a hotel so there isn’t a bevy of staff on hand 24/7 like a real hotel might have. Some gripes were: 1) The room wasn’t serviced overnight as the web site says it would be. 2) There was only one chair in the room. 3) Perhaps the room was a touch tired but OK. Good points were: 1) Parking was excellent, easy and convenient. 2) Tea & coffee in the room was good – better if it had been re-filled overnight. 3) The bed was large and comfortable. 4) Staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. 5) Breakfast was very good, cooked to order and reasonably priced. 6) The club facilities looked good, but we were never there when it was open. 7) The cost was reasonable. 8) We’d stay there again for a similar, short break.

The property is very run down. No working shower and no hot water. Never told this till we arrived. The toilet was not flushing. Now apologies.

Quiet location, comfortable room, and accommodating service (provided me an early breakfast on the Sunday morning)

There was nobody there when we arrived. When the proprietor arrived, I said we had to go out again, but would the bar be open later. He said that he already worked a 12hr day and would finish after he had prepared a meal. When we were shown our room, there were no towels or soap in the room. All the bedside drawers were full of rubbish. On one side one drawer was jammed full of rubbish, which included a banana skin. The other drawer had used vapes in it. One the other side, one drawer had used vapes in and the other contained one partially full drinks bottle and one empty drinks bottle. The proprietor moved all the rubbish, but only had hand towels. We left for our event. When we returned we discovered that there was only one sheet over a filthy mattress. My wife wouldnt sleep in the bed. One of the pillows had no liner and the pillow itself was soiled. Finally the door to the room kept banging all night. There were no staff available in the evening. We received no apology for any of this. Easily the worst stay we have had anywhere

Not the best, cracked tiles in bathroom on the floor very dangerous, 2 single beds pushed together very uncomfortable. Damp bedroom walls. No towels in room had to go looking for these I the morning only to be told there was no hot water in the rooms. Did get a small refund for this but I think we were booked into this room and they knew there was an issue with the water already. Very disappointing wouldn't recommend.

Stayed for 1 night and very quiet and peaceful. Room 4 was a goid size but the tv remore was missing and the shower wasnt very warm but very peaceful and bed really comfy ..host was lovely and we had a lovely cooked breakfast so overall i think it was worth the money and we will come again..great place for exlploring...

Staff friendly and helpful. With a little tweaking would be excellant. Set in a lovely area in the middle of a golf course with views across the Lougher estuary. Need to know that the restaurant is very limited and not always open. Don't rely on an evening meal. One evening we could only get a ham sandwich. On the evening we did have a meal, restaurant closed at 7 pm, although the food was lovely. Same with bar, no ice one day, no tonic another day and only one white wine ( even though there is a wine menu) Rooms in a separate annexe, were very good, great to be able to come and go without having to go through reception and only a minute or two walk to main building. Bathroom could have done with an update but adequate. Wifi was good and bed very comfy. Great terrace leading from the lounge bar, but again let down by lack of tables and chairs and sun brollies. Would maybe benefit from a fridge and microwave in the room if restaurant facilities are limited. Would definitely stay again but would go prepared!

Excellent

Friendly staff, accommodation was basic but well presented. Had a good meal in the evening at a very reasonable price and breakfast was good.

Checked in fine. Only found the central heating wasn't working by the notice on the table and small heater provided (and note to limit it to lowest heat setting and turn off overnight) i.e. could have been told verbally on check-in. Arrived at 5:30pm, asked for a taxi to be booked for 7pm. Returned at 6pm for food - no food as was catering for a birthday party in the function room. Was only able to get crisps etc but unable to pay by card as the card machine wasn't working so added it to room bill. Also they had forgotten to book taxi - reminded them to book taxi for 7pm. 7pm arrived, no taxi. Only managed to get a taxi an hour later (was headed to a wedding and only lucky we arrived in time for first dance/cutting cake etc due to delays at the wedding). No external lighting (or was switched off) so almost twisted ankle on step outside and potholes in tarmac. Obviously room was freezing (was sub-zero outside), also TV speakers were tinny/crackling, main light had random flicker. Following morning, nobody asked how our stay was, breakfast was hit-and-miss (e.g. one sausage was fine, the other rubbery). My partner felt she was being an inconvenience asking staff for butter for her toast and milk for her tea as none provided and staff otherwise occupied. When trying to check-out/pay, card-machine still not working, was asked if I could provide my card details/security pin that they could retry later! Eventually they found their acct/sort code that I could pay via online banking.

Restaurant closed by health authority. No one at reception, very poor, no information given, very poor, access road full of deep potholes

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, Adrian our host couldn't be more friendly, the room was clean and the bed comfy. The breakfast was well cooked and the evening meal was perfect. This is a golf club with rooms in a converted barn, not a hotel, please bear this in mind. The views over the valley are great and the open fire in the clubhouse a bonus on a cold night.we will definitely be staying again when in the area.

Ideal accommodation for us while visiting family in the Swansea area,very nice breakfast

Well its a golf club in the middle of no where. The access roads are single track so this might dampen a quick get away if needed. My room was a good size and the bathroom also a good size. The shower head was floppy which annoyed me for a place like this, but this was the only fault. From the evening menu soup was off but the Steak and ale pie was a considerable portion so ended the evening completely full. Wi Fi worked well. I wouldn't avoid this place.The accommodation block is away from the clubhouse by 40 yards or so, so I can't imagine any noise pollution.

The room was spacious and comfortable and the service from the staff was excellent, which helped to make our stay a very good one.

Nobody around for check in. Room adequate but in need of refurbishing, especially shower room. Breakfast and service good. Location good for visiting Gower and is quiet.

Lovely hospitality, beautiful clean room and excellent breakfast.

Needs a bit of T.L.C. The food was good, the service rubbish. The room was lovely, but the bathroom needed a lot of attention. The shower needed replacing,the shaving mirror light was burnt out, and the colour coding on the basin taps were the wrong way round,which could be dangerous if somebody turned on the cold tap expecting to get cold water and they got hot water. The actual Golf Course was O.K. but needs more signage to show you where to go next. Altogether a bit disappointed but enjoyed the Gower Peninsula area.

Perfect setting in a good location. Staff here are very friendly and helpful, and the room was clean.
