Patricks Boathouse

This was our second time staying and it did not disappoint. A different room with a beautiful view. I love the little touches to this place, the nice breakfast, the doggy towels and biscuits and the large bathroom. We will definitely return! Great place to stay - please come and visit!!

The host informed us that pay and display parking was available about 50 meters from the entrance of the Boathouse. We found the lot, and was lucky to get the very last spot. We then walked up and down the street to look for the pay station, but found none. Calling the host, he simply informed us that there had been "a recent change" to NOT charge for parking in that area. He had not bothered to correctly inform us, but did not even apologize. At all other times we passed that parking place it was completely full. Be warned that you will most likely have to travel further along this very busy road to find a spot. You may also have to pay. Our room was spacious and clean and had a nice view of the bay area. The bed was comfortable, although the arrangement with a very large painting stretching all the way down to pillow level stopped us from sitting in bed reading and watching TV. An impractical arrangement. Better reading light would have been nice. There was a small fridge, and yogurt and other stuff for a continental breakfast were loaded there. Not a full English breakfast, but an adequate start of the day. We wondered about the clunky glass bedside tables in glass, and discovered that both were damaged and had therefore been turned with their backs out. It hides the damage, but eliminates the shelf space. How about getting new tables with shelves in wood? The bathroom was unusually spacious and offered both a bath tub and a shower cabin. The password protected WiFi worked fine. There was no elevator. There was no in-room safe.

Parking a big negative As was the driveway between two restaurants which was very steep. The entrance and staircase were lovely. Our room was two floors up steep stairs. The view was lovely. The tv was difficult to use. Bathroom large but lighting not great. The shower was large but grouting on grey tiles definitely needs attention. Breakfast cereals etc with fresh milk a nice touch. A definite turn off returning is parking on main road which is extremely busy and littered with dustbins from the large number of small restaurants. Bed was ok but hair on the sofa pillows not welcome

lovely place to stay. bright decor, large bed and huge bathroom with separate large bath and shower. breakfast in the fridge for our 2 nights. Great views of the bay and perfect base to explore the Gower
