Last week we stayed in the excellent Patricks With Rooms in Mumbles. Mumbles is one of our favourite seaside destinations in South Wales. Patricks is an excellent hotel with a great restaurant. It’s located right on the main promenade only yards from the sea. The hotel has 16 individual bedrooms, the renowned restaurant and a [...]

Mumbles and Mumbles Pier

Mumbles is a great place to visit – it’s right on the seafront with fantastic views right round Swansea Bay. You can promenade around the Bay for several miles if you wish. Mumbles Village is a great place to [...]

April 22nd, 2008 · No Comments
Quite an interesting review of the Fairy Hill Hotel and Restaurant near Reynoldston on the Gower from late last year. It’s a couple of years since we last had a meal there and we thought the same, good but not mind-blowing. The restaurant has a huge reputation and I guess that it’s always hard to [...]
