The Mirador Boutique Town House

We stayed in the oriental suite. Totally over the top decor in a good way. Very comfortable bed in a very spacious apartment. Nice selection of food and drink for breakfast. Good location for eating/drinking and access to the Gower Peninsula. The discount at the excellent Brew Stone a bonus. You wont forget staying here.

Reading previous reviews is interesting and obviously based on people’s experiences and what they find ‘excellent.’ Our experience was different to the majority, but nonetheless, it is our experience and I shall write in honestly, regardless of the fact that we were requested to leave a good review, for the new owners of the Mirador. That was very disappointing to receive. Up until that text, the correspondence from the host had been very good. Pros - the room was very clean, comfortable and well equipped with cutlery, plates and a microwave and tea/coffee items. The room was large, with sofa, tv and access to Netflix etc. The continental breakfast was pleasant enough. Cons - the Egyptian room was a bit over the top for us. The area is quite run down in a student heavy area, very few decent restaurants/bars, in fact, we ate cheese and crackers on the first night as the area was so poor, and ate at the Mumbles the following day. We didn’t feel safe in the house as the area was run down and we had concerns about our car, but luckily it was ok. Lighting in the bathroom was annoying as it was motion sensor and couldn’t be turned down or off for night time use. Definitely would not return. I’ll now get an unpleasant reply from the owner telling me to lighten up, but this was our actual experience and opinion, but maybe the next person will love it?!

We booked 4 rooms so were able to see how different they all are. Some lovely quirky features in each room but all equipped to a high standard and were clean and comfortable. There were so many lovely touches and we appreciated the discount at a local eatery. Jeanette and Philip were really responsive and helpful.

Unique and interesting. The rooms are themed and adorable. The owners communicated via email but they were super friendly and we felt if we needed any extra input they would have been available. They have an agreement for discount with a local pub so it was a most agreeable stay.

Firstly a big thanks to Jeanette and Philip for an unforgettable experience and their amazing hospitality. We booked this for our grandson’s graduation for two nights and delighted to have found this little gem. Everything about this this place oozes charm. Yes some may find the themed rooms a bit quirky but that’s what really makes this place as one of the ‘bucket list’ places to be added to ones list. We had the French room with its own private terrace, furnished with Rattan furniture which was an absolute delight to have our cocktails in the evening and breakfast in the mornings. A little ‘haven’ in a quiet street. Simply delightful! Our room was indeed very French and all I kept thinking while lying in bed was that any minute Marie-Antoinette would suddenly appear and pour me another glass of bubbly so kindly provided by Jeanette and Phil in our fridge. Aaah the fridge…….what a surprising load of goodies! Various breakfast items like smoked salmon, Italian meats, cheeses, croissants, fruit, jams, yoghurts……oh I better stop and let you find out what else could be in store. Location couldn’t be better, within walking distance you’ve got a good selection of local bars, coffee shops and restaurants not to mention the local Sainsbury for your little forgotten bits (in our case toothpaste) While on the subject of restaurants, check out Brewstone’s cocktail bar and restaurant. Friendly staff serving excellent fayre from delicious breakfasts to lunches etc. oh and our Philip has negotiated a 20% Mirador discount off your bill. Now that made by day as having to shug out for a toothpaste of which we have many at home! Are there any negatives? None whatsoever but all I would add is that they should provide some sort of a folding table in the room for breakfast etc on rainy days when you cannot sit out on the terrace. As I’m writing this, both Carol and I feel rather sad that we have to leave today but feel pretty sure this won’t be the one and only visit back here!

Liked ＞They don't supply formal breakfast but fridge is well stocked and a microwave is available in the room. The shower was advertised as a power shower it was in fact electric but worked ok. You get 20% discount at local restaurant which is excellent for dinner and breakfast. Situated in nice part of Swansea . Disliked · What was absolutely unacceptable was text messages from the owner asking us to review the stay with a 100% review and saying don't do a review if with can't give him 100%. He stated that they had been " deliberately targeted with far from genuine reviews" and people were doing it to get their money back. He also said to book directly with them for a cheaper room rate. I think this throws in to doubt reviews of this property. I have their text messages on my phone to prove this is a genuine review . Their response to some negative reviewers in the past seem somewhat defensive. In respect of the accommodation we felt it was over priced but that's a personal view. Trying to eat breakfast sat on the bed is uncomfortable as there is no table etc. The room was advertised as having a power shower but is was not. However, it worked ok. The room needs some TLC. Trying to close the door to the bathroom was not easy for example. We wouldn't advise you not to book but we won't stay again as we felt it fell short in a few areas. We certainly didn't like the pressure to give them a 100% review and their belief that negative reviews are not genuine.
