The King Arthur Hotel in Swansea

Just love the King Arthur. Went for lunch yesterday. We had our favourite seat and the food as always, was outstanding, topped only by the service. Our young waitress was so friendly and efficient and the south African young barman as accommodating as ever. Thank you all. We will be back soon. John and Annette Chappell.

Fabulous but needs a hairdryer in the room

Perfect location, lovely comfortable rooms and attentive friendly staff Highly recommend

The food was very good. So was the service

Had a couple of nights here, the accommodation, food and staff were all excellent we were very well looked after. We will certainly be coming back.

Friendly staff , lovely environment. Warm atmosphere.

Simple, superb service and quality food when 17 of us ate for a family reunion. Well done to all the friendly and helpful staff.

Beautiful old pub. Friendly atmosphere and great food. Stunning setting on the Gower peninsula.

Fantastic pub, love the cosy bar with a crackling log fire. Good selection of real ales the food is excellent, staff very friendly and welcoming. Christmas time is so festive.

Stayed at the hotel for a wedding. Lovely venue, and the staff were amazing, we had a great couple of days.

Fantastic location, attended a wedding and it was amazing for it. Food was great. Atmosphere was fantastic.

We enjoyed a lovely cup of tea by the fire. We did have to wait a while, but to be fair they did have a wedding on!

Amazing place to stay. Beautiful buildings, well furnished, exceptionally clean and well decorated. All staff committed to ensuring our comfort. I was made to feel as welcome as others despite my disabilities with staff going above and beyond to assist me in any way possible. Our stay was only for 2 nights for an extremely well planned and delivered wedding, so we will be returning next year. A long 8 hour journey to get there, but worth every mile. Food was very well cooked with personal preferences or dietary needs catered for. The location was superb in the hills with the added bonus of the sheep roaming in the car park trying to get to the well kept gardens. Definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Large family group, great food, well priced, served with a smile. Far better than the standard pub grub, comfortable space, very highly recommended.

3 Night stay, fab accommodation - quality. Restaurant really good, had a dinner as party of 6, all meals beautiful, good selection of ales, wines, spirits. Allergy managed well. Lovely staff, must visit. Would return for another stay.

We attended a wedding there and it was absolutely perfect , ceremony and food was amazing, room was a little dated .

I went there for a wedding. The wedding was amazing! Great staff, great venue. The rooms are a bit dated and the door to the balcony was unlocked when we arrived. The door didn't feel secure when it closed. Apart from that it was clean and suitable for our needs.

Very good atmosphere. Nice coffee and they have oat milk. Very good choice of vegetarian food.

Wonderful place and great garden.

Everything was absolutely fab. The staff were so polite and friendly and couldn't do enough. Very accommodating to older family members allowing earlier entry to rooms to get out of the cold. (Not pre booked bedrooms) room 2 was lovely with a pretty view overlooking the gardens, double bed and a single made the room small for entry but didn't take away the comfort or cleanliness of the room. I would happily stay there again and intend on doing so in the future. Can't speak for the breakfast as I missed that, totally my fault for enjoying the wedding too much :)

Myself and my wife were at a wedding here last Wednesday and can only say staff and venue I could not fault we had the bride and grooms dog with us as well as his cousin the dogs were welcomed like royalty 10 out of 10 the hole time xxx

Love the King Arthur dont go often enough but its a shame the world and his wife loves it too and parking is an issue. Was there tonight, Saturday, for a 40th birthday party and it was a lovely evening Absolutely beautiful decorations and a lovely buffet and beautiful decor All very very nice indeed Arrived at the king Arthur for a family birthday celebration for my parents It was a lovely evening The staff were absolutely amazing and nothing was too much trouble My parents had an amazing time, my mother was totally overwhelmed So, thank you so much from the Cross and Edwards family We look forward to joining you again in November for the next birthday celebration Thank you so very much

Fab food and excellent customer service

Attended a family wedding end of August, but also stayed for a week in one of the attached cottages. Firstly, the wedding was fantastic! Staff were so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable - nothing was too much trouble. The organisation on the day we excellent, the food and service excellent - couldn't fault anything from start to finish. The venue was amazing - the from the room for the ceremony, reception and evening event, to the beautiful grounds and outside seatings areas. We were fortunate enough to have great weather so were able to use all the facilities. The cottage itself certainly deserved a 5 star rating. It was fantastically well equipped and stunning views from the main bedroom, complimented by the lovely balcony with table and chairs accessed via fence doors from the bedroom. Have already booked to stay again in January.

Great. We arrived early. No problem. Couldn’t be more friendly. Food was amazing. Beautifully cooked meat. Cockles were a first and loved them. Gower beer well kept. 10 out of 10. Thanks

We came to the King Arthur Hotel for our honeymoon meal and we were not disappointed. The hotel/restaurant is absolutely stunning and in such a beautiful setting. The staff in the restaurant in particular a young lady who served us for the evening were so friendly, happy, attentive. The young lady gave that personalised touch and really is a member of staff to value. Our food was absolutely delicious. The taste was incredible, and the portion sizes were great. We can't wait to come back again. Already looking at special occasions ahead to book. Thank you so much for making our honeymoon so special.

Stayed here to attend a wedding. The beautiful room no.10 was spotlessly clean. The wedding of course was wonderful. The food was excellent. The staff, although most of them young were very friendly, polite and helpful. This is a lovely hotel nestled in the hills above Gower. We will definitely return.

The customers were all friendly, which shows a good atmosphere... the staff were super... helpful and friendly. The sheep were also very friendly

We met our friends and their family who were staying at one of the King Arthur’s cottages in Reynoldston. The cottage was absolutely beautiful and overlooked the back of the King Arthur. After drinks we decided to eat at the King Arthur and we were unable to find an inside table so we ate on the picnic tables on the front piece of land. Luckily it was just about warm enough at 7pm to do this. There were 8 of us but two picnic tables together were big enough for us all. The food came out in good time and everyone seemed happy with what they had. Typical pub fare. I had the vegetarian curry, a very unusual choice for me as I would not normally order a curry in a pub but I wanted something vegetarian and that was the only option I fancied. The burgers looked really good. The cheese wasn’t on one of the cheeseburgers orders for the only child with us so this had to be rectified by the staff. It was extremely busy as there was a post funeral gathering going on and the roads around the pub were jammed with funeral goers looking for somewhere to park - the pub had put a sign up stopping more cars entering the car park so we did struggle to park the car. There is only one space available when renting the cottage. I actually prefer the King Arthur in winter when it is less crowded and there are fewer tourists but I suppose it is testament to the pub’s popularity that it gets so busy, combined with the lack of other places to eat and drink in that area. If you’re going to eat there during holiday time in any season then do book ahead for the restaurant. The bar, which is far nicer than the restaurant, doesn’t take bookings unfortunately so it’s pot luck!

We had the steak and dragon ale pie and the lasagne - both absolutely delicious 😋

We have just had our daughters wedding at the KA and all I can say is WOW. The attention to detail, the staff, the amazing food can not be beaten. A big shout out to Annalise who was working quietly and diligently in the background to make everything work like clockwork. I cannot rate this hotel/Wedding venue highly enough in the most beautiful rural part of the Gower. Go take a look, you won't be disappointed.

The pub had fresh and well made meals, attentive service, and lots of seating options - pub, dining room, and picnic tables outside. They served the best fish & chips we had during our entire time in Britain. My son and I visited twice after long walks along the Gower, and we were so glad we stopped.

We had an early evening meal and it was lovely. Very tasty, well presented, hot and plenty of it. We were too full for dessert. Staff were very attentive and friendly. This is a family orientated hotel so if you're expecting a quiet meal it's not for you.

We spent a couple of nights in the self-catering cottage annex of the hotel called Guinevere's Cottage. At first glance the cottage is very nice but we were told when checking in that we were not allowed to park next to it to unload our luggage. Instead we had to park in the main car park and do several trips from there. Not ideal as there was room for us to park right outside the cottage entrance had we been allowed to. The cottage is located close to the hotel kitchen which has a huge and noisy extractor fan which runs from around 7am. We were hoping that it would be turned off after they finish serving food at 9pm, but they keep it running until almost 11pm when they finish cleaning down the kitchen. The cottage has a central heating system with the boiler in a cupboard on the landing, close to the bedroom. The system obviously needs a service as the radiators never really get hot despite the fact that the boiler seems to be on constantly. If you're struggling to get to sleep after the extractor fan goes off, the boiler can be heard firing up every few minutes during the night. When we tried to clean our teeth before going to bed we found that the cold water tap of the bathroom sink didn't work. It was too late to report it to reception. The next morning we were disturbed very early by someone jet-washing the pavement outside our cottage. Shortly after this someone else was cleaning the area with a leaf-blower and a load of debris was blown under the door and into the cottage. The cottage was not particularly clean. Obviously It had been cleaned regularly but you could easily see the areas that were regularly missed due to the accumulated dust build up under the electric fire and the TV stand. There was also a fair amount of dusty cobwebs on show, particularly above the curtain rails. There was only one tiny mirror upstairs which was fitted too high above the hair-dryer point to be of any use to anyone under 6' tall. My wife needed to dry her hair so we had to carry the mirror from above the hearth and a chair from downstairs to stand it on, up to the bedroom. The car park had 2 EV charging points they were constantly blocked by non-EVs. Although I complained to reception I was told this was a regular occurrence. We were unable to charge our EV during our stay. On the positive side. All of the staff were lovely and very accommodating and the breakfasts were excellent!

Wonderful food, tasty ales which are a very friendly. Highly recommend a visit here.

Have eaten here before and came back as enjoyed last time. Had the roast dinner, leg of lamb, as did my wife, wasn’t sure what meat it was to be honest, very bland, this however is not the reason for writing the review. I found a hard sharp piece of plastic in my food, luckily I didn’t eat it and put it to the side. I mentioned this to the waitress and she informed the managers, who both said they couldn’t understand how it had gotten into my food as they don’t use plastic in the kitchen. I felt they were implying it couldn’t be from the kitchen so maybe I had put it there. I wasn’t looking for compensation as I had already eaten most of my dinner, just wanted them to be aware as the outcome could have been worse if a child or older patron were to accidentally have swallowed.. I feel it was badly handled by the management and needless to say I won’t be returning, which is a shame as I was potentially looking at booking for NY and staying in their accommodation.

Very pleasant staff. Meal was enjoyable.

Fantastic food, extremely helpful staff and a beautiful location.

We had a great stay at the King Arthur Hotel, good location to expolore all that the Gower has to offer. The food and the pub in general was so good we changed our plans and every night went no further. Would like to say who ever has trained the team is doing a good job , realy effcient and friendly - Congratulations.

Stopped for lunch on the coastal road Swansea to Tenby. Not residents in the Hotel.Lunch was O.K. I had lamb roast. Roast potatoes awful, couldn't cut them with the knife given. Very hard. Not freshly cooked.Tried the other one with a fork. Oil oused out. Not good. Don't think complaint was passed on to someone that cared. Husband had a ploughman's which he enjoyed. Wouldn't go back there.

Lovely place to stay, a real treat thank you.

We stopped here as had seen it on travels before and heard great things. Lunch was divine for us all. A pie, a chilli, a burger and a duck. Delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely return.

Love it there wether summer or winter

Very good food at reasonable price and excellent service

We attended the King Arthur for Sunday lunch after a day at Rhossilli. We had pork, lamb and two children's sausage and mash. The servings weren't too big (which you sometimes get with Sunday lunch) and we're bursting with flavour. The service was pay at the bar but the staff were super friendly and ready to help. Highly recommend.

Lovely restaurant with good friendly service. We chose this for my wife's birthday celebration dinner. We were not disappointed.

Only stopped for a drink on our way back to the holiday cottage. The food they brought out to the tables looked very good.

Lovely place will be back soon.

Great pub Keith nice local beers and a good atmosphere in general. It's clearly a hub in the area as there is a large beer garden with lots of space and it was busy when we went. The food was good but there was a limited menu and they would serve specials outside so we were limited to the main menu. We had the veggie burger which was nice and great chips. I would go back. It was our destination at the end of a walk from the cliffs bay so the beer tasted extra good

Wonderful meal to celebrate 🍾 50th birthday. Excellent food and service. Will be back!!

What an absolute treat the King Arthur is. No where better on a cold winters night to have a pint in front of the fire. In the summer, great vibe and the beautiful surrounds make for a typically refreshing and relaxing Gower pub. Stay late for the treat of staggering out under a starry sky and the freshest air there is.

Had a one night stay recently. Very impressed with the room - large, modern and clean. Breakfast was good with a vegetarian cooked option. We also ate in the restaurant and had 2 excellent vegetarian meals (the chips were amazing). The grounds are beautifully tended and stocked with flowers and shrubs. A lovely hotel in a stunning location. We will be visiting again..

Great place to sit outside and have lunch. Real shame dogs are not allowed inside given the location. So 4 stars only for that

We stayed here for 2 nights for a family wedding. The triple room which we booked for really spacious and immaculate presented,I would 100% reccomend this venue. All of the staff went above and beyond and made us feel very comfortable. We booked an evening meal on our first night and it was excellent, breakfast was included and this was also exceptional. The staff we all so friendly and welcoming. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful location. Couldn't fault the accommodation, exceptionally clean and well maintained. Staff were attentive and efficient. A thoroughly enjoyable visit, thank you.

My daughter and son-in-law, held their wedding here in June. What makes the King Arthur stand out amongst the others is that every wedding looks entirely different , its not a mirror image of someone else's. They go above and beyond to make sure the day is yours. As a retired wedding photographer, I've attended many weddings, this venue and its staff go above and beyond to make each wedding unique. The new outdoor wedding area is beautiful, and so photogenic. Food, drinks and guest accommodation were all 5 star excellent. The bridal suite is classy! So, if you’re looking for a wedding venue with a very personal touch - look no further!

Beautiful Hotel rooms very clean and spacious. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast room was clean and the food was excellent. Waiting staff was very prompt Food service excellent

Brilliant meal absolutely packed, good choice of beer, great food not too expensive

We stayed in Guinevere’s Cottage, it did not disappoint. Had basic amenities we needed where we spent the day and night during my sisters wedding. The staff were great, polite and Jo the wedding planner couldn’t have done a better job. The venue is a great place, looking forward to visiting again soon.

Excellent food and service , there were nine of us all together and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Well I had the chicken curry half rice and chips and it was one of the best curries I've had in a long time,( my compliments to the chef) and the others had steaks also other dishes which they all enjoyed .

We have been going to the King Arthur for about 15 years when on holiday in the Gower. The garden outside and the setting is stunning and we have always had good food. But not yesterday. We were really disappointed with the food. We had four meals and all were very poor. I had a pie and am pretty sure the meat and gravy were from a tin. None of us finished our meals and didn't feel great afterwards. It's always a disappointment when spending money for meal out but particularly here when we have had such great food over the years. We would very sadly be reluctant to return for our pre-journey meal next year.

Amazing food again here. Considering they had a wedding in the back and a full dining room of people in the restaurant, you wouldn't have known. Staff were so attentive, a real credit to the King Auther. The food was amazing, very tasty and great portions overall a lovely pub with nice ales on. We walked here from Three Cliffs campsite and it was a brilliant day out.

Came for a wedding, beautiful venue, lovely rooms, staff were helpful and polite. Menu was gorgeous and plentiful. Allin all a lovely experience!

Love a bike ride down for a pint

Friendly service, very clean room, beautiful location. Will definitely stay again when in the area.

This was our second visit to the King Arthur. Yet again a perfect stay ; great room; good food and friendly and professional staff. We will be back

We went there for dinner. It was top notch. We ordered the Welsh Double Cheeseburger and Chicken fillet, both are delicious. The service was great, staffs were very helpful and friendly. Everything was perfect.

Excellent food in a hearty pub with a great atmosphere. It was busy but we didn't have to wait long for our lasagne tonight and our pie and mash last night. I'm always a little disappointed with pub food, but I was impressed with the food here. The staff were friendly and professional, and the toilets were clean and fresh. I'll be coming here every time we visit the Gower. Lovely setting, too!

Really enjoyed my stay here for a friend’s wedding - everyone was really friendly and helpful, the food was good and of course the location can’t be beat! Definitely recommend

We have been here a couple of times now and the food is really nice, Well worth going and the scenery is lovely. There is wheelchair friendly access here and staff are friendly and make you feel welcome, Only issue is if you are traveling from a hour or two away make sure to allow some time as the country lanes can be awkward especially when Cyclists are out in numbers as is virtually Impossible to overtake due to the rds being to narrow or windy, Don't let this put you off though as is a stunning venue and well worth a visit

Went for lunch. Was delicious. Dogs not allowed inside, but can be on the tables outside.

Nice place for a drink. They do good wholesome food too, although I can't yet comment

We arrived for a late lunch and the place was so packed everyone was parked along the road side where we also managed to squeeze in. There was also a wedding party there. All that being said, we tried our luck and had no problem getting a table. The service was impeccable and the food was first class! I would highly recommend.

We stayed here overnight on a trip to the Gower. The hotel is on the edge of the village with wonderful views. The location is ideal for access to the local beaches. We received a warm welcome from the staff and our room in the courtyard was spotless and very comfortable. We ate in the bar as the dinning room was fully booked up. The atmosphere was great with lots of different groups. We really enjoyed our food (fish and chips) and a beer. The service was excellent and the staff very friendly. After a good night's sleep we had an wonderful breakfast, with as much coffee and juice as we could want. After we sat in the beautiful gardens before checkout. We were so well looked after at the King Arthur hotel, and we're looking forward to a return visit soon.

Went for a birthday meal, the food was amazing and good prices

Spectacular location and conveniently central on Gower. Great beer selection, best on Gower. But the food always lets this place down a bit, somewhat overpriced and under-portioned, with big variations in quality between dishes. But it's a good place and always worth a stop.

Great stay really enjoyed it, and great food too 😊

I was here for an evening wedding function. The function hall is clean, and very well appointed. The bathrooms were clean and in good order. The food was really nice. Good selection of non alcoholic drinks at the bar, as well as the usual. The grounds are lovely, perfect for wedding photos. Parking is a little difficult.

Lovely food and good service. Very popular

After reading the reviews online and seeing the countless awards and nominations on your website I was very much looking forward to enjoying a Sunday roast last weekend for a friend’s birthday. First of all I cannot fault the feel of the bar and restaurant and the beautiful location in which the hotel is located. However unfortunately the roast did not meet expectations at all, 3 ordered lamb and one beef, if I’m honest you couldn’t tell which was which, all the meet was sliced wafer thin, the beef was really stringy as was the lamb was tough. As the Welsh can be know for their quality meat this was a disappointment considering being surrounded by sheep and cows all over the Gower, the dish of side vegetables could do with cheering up a bit as came to the table looking sad and dry, new potatoes need to be tossed in butter and seasoned at the very least. As three were having lamb we asked for mint sauce, (big mistake) unless you like water and vinegar with a few mint leaves chucked in. ( all in all it kinda felt very much school canteen quality). There were some good bits though; the staff were friendly and service was excellent, the deserts and starters were fantastic, although just a foot note it would be nice if the bread portions with the starters are bigger than the butter portion that accompanies them. If back in the area I would come back however probably try something off the other menus.

A typical pub atmosphere, very nice staff and delicious food!! Highly Recommended!

Stop there by chance for a meal they are do friendly and helpful food nice too lol

Absolutely loved this gem of a hotel, lovely room, great setting, terrific room and….incredible value for money

We got married at King Arthur on the 9th of May. From the very first enquiry with the venue about a wedding brochure, until after our dream day, the service we received was 10/10. Every single member of staff from reception, bar, waiters, wedding teams and everyone else in between were outstanding. Everyone was so polite and honestly couldn’t do enough for you. The food was delicious, the grounds stunning & bedrooms spotlessly clean. There is not one single thing we’d change about our wedding at King Arthur it was honestly the best day of our lives. Our lovely coordinator Zoe was fantastic and on the day she was incredible. From checking in with us, guiding us through our day so we knew where to be and what was going on at every moment, to calming pre ceremony nerves! Thank you King Arthur for our dream wedding day, we can definitely see why you have been voted best wedding venue!

Stayed here recently for a wedding, the receptionist was so friendly and chatty, the whole process was easy, room was very nice and the bed very comfortable (important after a wedding..!). Highly recommend and would definitely stay again

Great location, to recommended for atmosphere & dining when exploring Gower, we are regular visitors, and have just visited ( May 2024) to celebrate my wife’s 70th Birthday 🎁🎂

Stayed an evening for a friend's wedding. Wedding ceremony, food and evening were incredible. And the rooms being across the courtyard were a major bonus. Rooms were comfortable, clean with all the usual amenities. Breakfast was included and was delicious also. Will be back to stay for a break for sure.

An absolutely stunning hotel and pub matched by amazing staff Highly recommend!

Cool vibe in here. The team behind bar were very friendly. Good selection of food and drinks.

Food good as always, service going.

Attend nieces wedding. Didn't stay in any of the bedrooms. Pitty its not dog friendly 😕

Staying close by so can't comment on the rooms. However, the service and staff were fantastic. Welcoming and full of conversation, we went back on the second say of our stay and weren't disappointed with the food we ordered. The location is as picturesque as you can imagine and the bar room is full of the 'traditional' items you'd expect to find in pubs - so full of interest. Was recommended this pub by family who haven't been in well over a decade so that says all I need to know about the quality and lasting memory.

Great visit had a couple of drinks around lunch time , friendly helpful staff

Great country pub and hotel. Welcoming staff, excellent meal, good range of local beers altogether a really first class experience. Thank you team.

Great location. Excellent food and customer service. Good value for money. Lovely ambience.

It was raining and they had no indoor facility for taking dogs into, when we wanted to have a meal. I imagine at this time of year the pub is missing out on a lot of financial gain because they don't allow dogs into the premises. We left.

Fantastic food, great service, lovely people, very friendly, polite, respectful and considerate. Highly recommended!

A great country hotel. Well located for many Gower attractions. The staff are extremely polite and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. My room was basic, but it was clean and well appointed. Breakfast was superb and set me up for the day. Will definitely return.

Wonderfully relaxing weekend at The King Arthur Hotel. Excellent food with ample portion sizes; our room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable; Service was efficient and the staff very attentive. Will definitely be returning.

First ignore all the negative feedback. That’s their opinion. However, our experience was WOW. The staff are very pleasant and respectful on arrival parking was easy and free. The bar and the staff are great, and we felt relaxed. The room was spotless and very comfortable. The breakfast was amazing and the young lady that served us was a credit to king Arthur hotel. We fell in love with the king Arthur hotel. we are returning in April 2024. Big thank you to everyone. Thank you to Alex for the extension lead and fan! 😉 Mark and Layla.
