Somerfield Lodge

We have stayed here on at least three occasions. All the rooms in the lodge appear to have virtually the same layout and sadly the same short comings. The radiator in our room on this visit wasn't on, it was pouring with rain and quite chilly outside. The duvets on the single beds are too narrow they barely stretch over the top of the mattress without anyone laying in the bed. There was no space in the room to place a suitcase. The door catch didn't work, we had to keep the door locked even when we were in the room. The venetian blinds do not keep the morning sunlight out hence we were awake at 5 a.m . Blackout curtains are needed as well as the blinds as the blinds provide essential privacy. The biggest disappointment was the ensuite bathroom which, despite having an electric towel rail, was freezing. The shower curtain was dirty at the bottom and the base of the toilet cistern unit where it sits on the floor needed bleaching. Sound proofing between rooms is extremely poor. On our last visit we heard a very lengthy phone call which took place at 1:30 in the morning. This visit we listened to a bathroom comfort break taken by the guest in an adjoining room in the night. For us it is ideally located for the purpose of our frequent visits to this area but if it was a weekend break and not a commitment I doubt if we would chose this accommodation which is disappointing to say as the potential is considerable but at the moment, for us, it is average. A huge positive is the breakfasts. The choice is excellent and it is well cooked. The staff are very pleasant and helpful.

Perfect for the location we needed, pleasant, large and clean rooms. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was included in our stay and included a full English on offer - what more could you want! We can’t wait to stay again. Thanks for a great experience.

Fabulous location and food, but the rooms have NO HOT WATER in the mornings. I complained about the total lack of even warm water to the 2 ladies who served my breakfast and they both stated that they knew of the problem, which had existed for some time, but no one knew what was the cause of the problem. They then added that it was nothing to do with them as they were only responsible for the food. Besides that problem, I stayed in room 5 and as I am nearly 6 feet tall, I banged my head several times on the exposed low roof beams.

Everything about Somerfield Lodge was excellent. The location is fine and not far from Swansea centre. The en suite bedroom had everything that you needed and was perfect for a 1 night stay. The breakfast was probably the best I have ever had in a B&B. I would definitely stay here again.
