Just enjoyed a lovely weekend at Darren and Rebecca's. They made it so special. Lovely breakfast and they made it just home from home. The beach is literally on the doorstep and my dogs just loved it too. Looking forward to coming back soon

 

 

 

SHIYI (January 2023)

Very recommended accommodation! A perfect trip! The boss and the proprietress are awesome, and the experience is one of the best among so many hotels and homestays in the UK. The double bed is just a very large double bed. The sea view is not just a little bit of the sea, but a large window that can see the entire sea. The room is very clean, and there are no thorns in the details.

Fabulous hosts in a stunning location.

Absolutely loved my stay with Rebecca and Darren - very friendly and open, great information about the surrounding area and where to go. Fabulous breakfast and the rooms are clean and tidy. It's an older building but that just gives it character. I would definitely go again!

 

Sarah (October 2022)

 

Wish I could have stayed longer and not had to rush off so early

Location was great, parking wasn't easy but the welcome I received was lovely and the owners were so helpful and accommodating to my needs going over and above to help me be ready for my triathlon the following morning.

Just the lack of parking

Loved the early morning stroll on the beach.

Perfect hosts. Addressed all our peculiar needs with ease and very good cheer.

We thoroughly enjoyed it. Nothing to dislike at all.

 

 

 

Hannah (July 2022)

Darren and Rebecca were were welcoming and helpful, I stayed just one night on a stopover trip and the Beechcomber was perfect for what I needed. Neat, clean and nice choice of breakfast.

 

 

Edmands (July 2022)

Wonderful - exceeded expectations - hope to return one day

Welcoming, great facilities, good location

 

Helen (24th July 2022)

Lovely little over nighter.

Lovely welcome on arrival, rooms comfortable, lovely Breakfast and plenty of options to choose from, no rush and offered extras. Both were lovely and friendly, would stay again happily. Location was really good,and easy walk into city centre. Beach straight over the road. Helpful advice on parking and where available to leave car.

No parking available, however plenty of off road parking in surrounding areas- car park nearby. Not a major issue and can't be helped due to location. Nothing negative to say 😃

 

 

Mary (July 2022)

Friendly welcome as I arrived a bit early. Fantastic breakfast and although on a busy road, right across the road from a glorious beach. Love the tea coffee & biscuits supplied & constantly topped up. Both Darren & Rebecca well rehearsed in tourist information! 

​

Begum (July 2022)

This was my first time staying in a guest house and I loved it. The room was bigger than I expected and it even had a shower in it. I mostly communicated with Mrs Rebecca and she was a lovely host. I was provided with soap, shampoo and even a toothbrush. The room, shower and the toilet was super clean. I had so much coffee and tea. I felt pretty safe in the room, the door was very heavy and I was given the keys

​

James (July 2022)

Lovely, friendly hosts. Fabulous breakfast. We were doing a charity walk and they got up early to make us a healthy breakfast. Perfect location for the city of Swansea or the short drive to the beautiful Gower Peninsula

Nothing. The room was a little small but we'll organised and the price reflects this

​

David (July 2022)

The hosts Darren and Rebecca were excellent. They were very friendly and helpful, for example with parking suggestions and early drop off of luggage. The breakfast was very good with plenty of cereals, fruit, yoghurt and good selection of cooked options. We had a double room with sea views. The room was very clean. The property is directly on the road side and hence as expected, the noise is high if windows are opened and traffic is passing. On a final note, the information folder provided was comprehensive and informative, for those not familiar with Swansea and the surrounding area.

The en-suite facility in our room was functional but rather cosy

Maria (12 May 2022)

I can’t recommend this guesthouse enough. Both hosts were really friendly, they couldn’t do or offer enough for us. The place is spotless and the breakfast was of a really high standard. If you want to be in the centre of Swansea, with sea views and eat like a king or queen, this is the place. Eleven out of ten and six stars. Excellent.

 

Jamie (10 May 2022

Felt very welcome and comfortable staying here.

The hosts are absolutely awesome, very easy to talk to and super helpful. The rooms are nice and cosy, and I was lucky to have a sea view which was so relaxing at night. Parking is available basically daily from 4 til 8 the next morning which is handy. The breakfast was really tasty and a great start to the day. I'd definitely go back again!

 

Catherine (10 May 2022)

My room had a gorgeous seaview, the owners were amazingly kind, and the bacon sandwich in the morning was a godsend

 

Phipps (9 May 2022)

Sunny lovely night away

Lovely b&b. And a lovely couple, so helpful. Will be going back but longer next time. Thanks Darren and Rebecca for a lovely 50th birthday night away for me and my partner

 

Julene, (12 April 2022)

My stay at Beachcomber was absolutely fantastic. I can’t recommend it enough. You can’t ask for better hosts, Rebecca and Darren – they bore with me as I had a late check in, and were very accommodating, always thinking one step ahead. The rooms are clean and quaint, breakfast is amazing, the views of the sea beautiful. The art of hospitality is not lost after all! Thank you for making my stay in Swansea a lovely and memorable one.

 

John (27 February 2022)

From the moment I arrived everything I needed was available, and clearly explained. The facilities exceeded what you would expect from a budget priced hotel. The owners couldn't do enough to be sure you were had everything you could possibly want. Brilliant!

 

Sarah (21 February 2022)

The location was great and I loved having a sea view. Darren and Rebecca could not have been more helpful or attentive. It was brilliant I could take my little dog who even had a sausage cooked for her, for breakfast. Really great stay, thank you

​

James (16 Februarry 2022)

The people who run it are incredibly helpful. It's got amazing views overlooking Swansea Bay and it's not far from the station, restaurants and pubs. Breakfast was very tasty

​

​

Rebecca & Darren are great hosts.

Very welcoming and friendly.

Room was lovely and clean and very comfortable, beautiful sea view.

Breakfast sets you up nicely for the day and was lovely.

Very attentive and nothing was too much trouble.

We would certainly sty again and would happily recommend the Beachcomber as a great place to stay.

Thank you Debbie & Sheila Hunt (15/09/21)

Great location, no hassle - free parking - just 20mtres around corner Restaurants & Pubs nearby

Richard was warm and friendly, very efficient and helpful....always friendly and attentive

Landlord and landlady very pleasant. Room well kitted out for size of room, not very big but big enough with shower. Breakfast was great included good sausage instead of those awful pink ones!!

Comfortable, quiet and relaxed

Good breakfast, exactly the right amount. Pleasant and caring staff. We would very happily stay again.

Posted by STEPHEN HALEY on Booking dot com (16/08/20200

 

Although not lavish, it was clean and friendly.

Breakfast was very good, Richard and Debbie were lovely and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The information in the room for places to visit was excellent and we visited places we hadn't realised were there that weren't beach related Although the road was busy it was a good location for us with plenty to do within walking distance. We had taken our tandem knowing that there were good cycle paths and the friendly locals advised us of some lovely rides through beautiful countryside.

Amazing owners, a place you want to come back to because of the family atmosphere of the place.

Richard and Debbie were great to us, overlooking the beach, nice breakfast and good value for the money. It is tight in the rooms but the view made up for it. Dog friendly.

Very Friendly hosts and close to all amenities

Richard and Debbie were excellent hosts.
Our first trip away with our dog Mylo, were made to feel very welcome.
Beaches close by meant a great starting point for Mylo to experience sand and sea.
The later, he is not sure of yet. But the rest of the weekend we all enjoyed the mumbles, Rhossil bay, and Langland bay.
Recommend for any similar couples with a young dog yet to experience beach life....thank you both again

Warm, Welcoming and Helpful Stayed in a single bed room, very clean, sink and small shower, TV and plug sockets & a comfortable bed. View was straight out to Swansea Bay seeing both Mumbles Pier all the way across to Port Talbot to the other, and while situated at the beachfront and a nice quiet night. Nice breakfast too. For the price it can't be faulted, and for a 3star Guest House I'd happily give 5 Google stars for the experience offered.

It exceeded my expectations and brilliant value for money.

The Beachcomber was perfect for my 3 night stay visiting a friend in Swansea!
The place was very nice and clean. Very cute and quaint and I enjoyed it very much! The couple that runs the Beachcomber were very friendly and willing to help in anyway I needed.

Thank you both so much for your wonderful hospitality.
Genuine decent people who were so warm and welcoming love that you didn`t mind me eating my bought food in the dining room - thank you.
Also love that your family area is so close and you are easily accessible.
Thank you for the advice on sight-seeing - bus routes - directions, etc
10/10 for everything I would definitely return & would recommend this lovely, homely B&B to my friends.
Good luck for the future to your family
Warmest regards and thanks a million

Very cosy rooms, comfy beds and exceptional service from the hosts. Free breakfast every morning with large selection of cooked foods, continental breakfast and homemade marmelade. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The B&B was in a really good location overlooking the sea but it's a shame that the weather was so awful very windy and pouring with rain all the time we were in Swansea
There was nothing to dislike Debbie and Richard were very friendly and helpful. The accomodation was good and the breakfast good
Posted on Booking dot com 13/02/2020

 

The room was clean and the breakfast perfect. The value for money was excellent. The owners are very friendly and attentive. It is a great location for walking to the beach (across the road) and city centre. Parking in streets behind the guest house was easy and very close. Walking to the Singleton Park campus would take 20-30 minutes.

Clean and tidy, and Richard and Debbie were lovely host's who couldn't do enough for you. If you're staying in Swansea then you could do a lot worse than staying at the Beachcomber, we would stay there again...

We liked the appearance and immediately as you walked in you were welcomed by the hosts in such a warm way, the heating was on which made the welcome so much warmer, the facilities were excellent all rooms came with everything you needed and more, breakfast room/ bar were brilliant and you were made me feel almost as part of the family.

Highly recommended
Great location, lovely staff. Proper old school seaside B+B. Very comfortable and clean. Would rather support a small family business than give the same money to an IBIS style hotel

Dog friendly guest house
Dog friendly and opposite great beach for puppy walking. A good pub with Thai cuisine at the end of the road well worth a visit.

​

Superb.Gower & Mumbles breathtaking. Rich and Debbie wonderful hosts.
Excellent location. 10 mins stroll into centre. Yes there is a road outside but the waves of the sea make more noise!! Fantastic outlook. Double glazing stopped any noise for me. Full breakfast, toast, home made marmalade, coffee all good. Excellent power shower always just right temp. both am and pm . Separate toilet but ok for me. (No further to walk than at home!)
Just spent 5 mins trying to think of a criticism, have to pass on that one.

Home away from home
The owners are a truly lovely couple, very kind, attentive and helpful. The folder showing the history of the area, Welsh speaking tips and welsh recipes is a great touch!

Amazing little beach side hotel
The hotel was lovely, the hosts were so friendly and welcoming, and the view was amazing - what's not to like! I'd definitely stay again!
Posted by Sam Garrett on Booking dot com (2/10/19)

​

We were very happy with our stay and wish the owners every success.
Hosts friendly, welcoming and helpful. Breakfast good. bed comfortable with just the right thickness of duvet - we slept well. On the sea front with a sea view bedroom, so no private parking, but it didn't matter, as we came and went during the forbidden times and it worked out just fine. We particularly liked the proximity to the Gower Peninsular and the Mumbles, so were able to see a bit of the countryside. No interest in Swansea, we were there for a wedding. It's too far from where we live (Norfolk) to visit again, but we highly recommend it to others.
Nothing that could be changed. The only restrictions were lack of parking and the small size of the room, but the latter could be an advantage too, as large rooms tend to be cold and draughty! We were cosy in inclement weather.
Posted by Sue Turner on booking dot com (30/09/19)

 

We were so lucky to have chosen this guest house in Swansea. The hosts are charming & very accommodating. The breakfasts were great, the bed perfect & having a drink in the evening without having to go out was ideal. We recommend this place highly !

Nice place, nice view, nicest people. I couldn’t find anything to complain about. Felt like a home away from home. :)

It was a very cosy hotel. I had a lovely room overlooking the sea. The bed was comfy and everything worked well. Breakfast was very varied and well presented. The hosts were exceptionally helpful and even posted back something I had stupidly left in the room. I was going to a Wedding close to the hotel at 1:30 and the room was ready for me at noon so that I could change in good time.

Quaint Guest house
Booked a single room as I was attending a wedding in Swansea. Some people would say 'dated' but I say it was full of old fashioned character. A fabulous view of the beach from my window! Not quite 'en suite' It had a shower but no toilet, that was along the hall but the price was appropriate. Very comfy bed and a lovely breakfast.there was a well stocked bar too. Not much parking available but I found a space a couple or roads away. All round a lovely stay. Thank you Richard. You were a treasure!

Brilliant !
What a fabulous place to stay for visiting the gower peninsula. We stayed in a small double bedded room with a fantastic view of the beach from our window. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious, freshly cooked to order. Richard and Debbie (the owners) could not have done more to make us feel welcome.
Parking was a complex (but free), which we expected when we booked. Well worth the effort given the wonderful waterfront position!

Excellent hospitality, fantastic views, the breakfast was lovely with lots of choice, rooms were very clean and comfy.
Absolutely chuffed! Will be staying again
There’s no parking BUT the host was brilliant at explaining where we could park nearby so it wasn’t too much of a problem!

Had a great couple of days.
The breakfast was lovely. Richard and Debbie are very accommodating and helpful with any allergies you may suffer, nothing was too much trouble for them. We had a sea view room so it was lovely to look out at the sea in the mornings. The location of the guest house is about 10 minute drive from the Mumbles, so it's very easy to go exploring around the Gower. Richard gave us a map of the Gower and it was simple to use. We would leave around 9.45am each morning and arrive back to the guest house approximately 11.15pm in the evening. Felt very safe going into the guest house.

Three day break and handy for Swansea Bay parkrun.
Traditional guesthouse on the seafront. Rooms were clean and comfortable with a friendly and extremely helpful host, Richard. Great breakfast! Ideal location to explore the Gower and close to the city centre. If you are a parkrun tourist the start of the Swansea Bay parkrun is less than ten minutes walk away. If coming by car parking is a bit difficult (but that appears to be true of the whole of Swansea) so have a chat with Richard before hand for advice on the best places to park.

Richard's excellent service frequently going above and beyond expectations made our stay pre/post wedding go without a hitch. Rooms small but have everything. Can't do anything about the stairs, breakfast good, spotlessly clean, surprisingly easy to park. A real proper guesthouse. Thanks Richard

Fantastisch!! Auf jedenfall weiter zu empfehlen. JEDER Zeit wieder😊
Das Frühstück war der Hammer. Mein Zimmer mit Meerblick war klein aber fein. Ich hatte ein Waschbecken und Dusche und alles war sehr sauber und gepflegt. Das Bett war sehr bequem und ich habe es sehr genossen. Es ein etwas älteres Haus aber es hat den gewissen englischen Scharm. Ich habe noch nie so herzliche aufmerksame Gastleute getroffen und wurde bei all meinen Vorhaben mit den besten Tipps unterstützt, sei es Fahrpläne oder andere Dinge, die man benötigt, wie Haartrockner...

Fantastic!! Definitely recommendable. ANY time 😊
The breakfast was awesome. My ocean view room was small but nice. I had a sink and shower and everything was very clean and well maintained. The bed was very comfortable and I enjoyed it very much. It is a slightly older house but it has the certain English charm. I have never met such warm attentive hosts and have been supported in all my projects with the best tips, be it timetables or other things you need, such as hairdryers ...

Perfect Hosts, Excellent Location & Spot-On made to order Breakfast
Easy to find parking around the corner, small grocery & several restaurants just a block away. Hotel is located directly across the street from the ocean & the view out my window was perfect. Easy check in & the Hosts are friendly with small touches throughout the hotel make your stay a delight. The word that keeps coming to mind is professional, all the way. My room was up several flights of stairs but easy access to the exterior toilet. Sink and hot shower however are in the room along with a very comfortable bed, flat screen TV & several places to store your luggage & personals. Towels, shampoo & soap supplied. Final touch is the perfect, made to order breakfast - totally yummy, especially sitting in the front bay window overlooking the ocean. Just stay here you won’t be disappointed. PS - love the WiFi code (lol)
