The King Arthur Hotel in Swansea

Fantastic room with a great view; ground floor and a short distance from main hotel complex

We attended a celebration of life for a sadly departed friend with a large group of friends and family and the whole team at the King Arthur Hotel were incredible! Nothing was too much trouble for them. The rooms were spotless and incredibly comfortable, the food was excellent and the bar very well stocked. Would highly recommend!

Had midweek lunch, great service even though there was a wedding on in the great hall. Enjoyed a lovely pint of Gower Gold with my steak baguette. Cosy in the pub part though was busy but that was to be expected. Would highly recommend a visit.

Only popped in for a coffee. Absolutely brilliant place And lovely staff. Great location, nice and cosy.

We stayed (again) in an apartment as we had dogs. The standard of accommodation was excellent, as was attention to detail re facilities and equipment. Really comfy beds and fantastic views from lounge and kitchen. Excellent location for exploring all the fantastic beaches and coastal paths that Gower has to offer. When we needed to speak to staff regarding anything, they were extremely helpful and friendly - nothing was too much trouble. Looking forward to staying again next year.

Great hotel would stay here again!

Lovely pint of Guinness. The olives & calamari went down a treat 😊.

We had a superb family meal here and afterwards had a few drinks in the bar. What a great place, with excellent food, friendly staff and a homely atmosphere. You've got it just right - five stars from us!

We stay at the King Arthur every year, sometimes two or three times a year. The staff are brilliant, nothing is too much trouble, the apartments are clean really well equipped. It is a great location for walking the coastal path. The meals in the hotel are really good as well. Almost don’t want to say how good it is as it’s always hard to get a booking as it’s so popular!!

Fab atmosphere and great food. Staff very friendly and welcoming

Beautiful hotel in an even better location. Would recommend this hotel to everybody.

Brilliant stay at a beautiful location! Lovely spacious rooms , clean . Lovely beer garden . The staff were great so welcoming and I will definitely be returning!

No idea what the hotel is like never stayed there but the pub is one of the best I have ever been to.

What a beautiful place!!. The team at King Arthur were so friendly and helpful

Amazing wedding venue ! As a wedding photographer I've probably covered around 50 weddings here over the years. The welcome, the staff and food are always first class. Its always a pleasure to work here on a wedding day. Karl Baker photography

I didn't stay at the hotel but the food was incredible. I stayed a week in the local village and I visited a few times. Welsh lamb, Venison, steak and ale pie and fish and chips were all 10/10. Not dog friendly....even in the bar unfortunately! 😞 but other than that negative the staff were nice and it was some of the best food I've had in memory. Thank you 👍

An outstanding events management team and friendly, warm, professional staff throughout the hotel. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough, they were just brilliant and our stay was perfect, thank you.

Excellent food and drinks. Good selection of beers and wine. Friendly staff. Warm and comfortable

Beautiful establishment in a beautiful setting. Would recommend.

Lovely cosy little pub, just popped in for quick bowl of soup which was really tasty, good bread, real fire, proper pub!

A lovely place to stay on the Gower. We had 2 night mid-week break, taking advantage of their winter offer. Can't recommend the hotel highly enough food was excellent and staff just lovely

Definitely recommend, lovely feel and friendly atmosphere

Dropped in after a long walk across Cefyn Bryn. Was great to walk into a nice cosy pub with a fire going to warm up. Didn't have any food, but some nice ales were samples. Well staffed, good customer service.

rooms were spotless, great supply of different tea bags and bottles of water in room, staff were friendly and helpful, a lovely place to stay

Excellent hotel, room was spacious, comfortable and spotless. Food was very good and all of the staff were outstanding.

Live locally so visit alot - great location for walking . Traditional pub with rooms . Food was very good in the bar and the fire was roaring

Have been here a few times and always excellent.

Possibly the worst Sunday roast I’ve ever had. Being in Wales I decided to have the lamb which came Luke warm and thinly sliced and tasteless. It reminded me of bad School dinners. The roast potatoes were not roasted properly and also just about warm, the crackling on the pork my partner ordered was rubbery beyond measure, the gravy oily and bland, the cauliflower burnt at the edges and the side order of veg contained a few potatoes, some awful looking cabbage that had been thrown in on top of some peas. Truly truly awful

Most Excellent! We ate at The King Arthur on 1st January 2025 when you could forgive the kitchen, bar & restaurant staff should they be a little weary after all the festivities, but no, they served up a most amazing meal, cooked to perfection and service to match! Well done team King Arthur, we will be back!

Excellent Sunday roasts. Great staff and service. Brilliant pub.

Food, rooms, atmosphere and service were fantastic.

We visited King Arthur Hotel during our stay in Swansea over Christmas, specifically for their lunchtime menu. The building and rooms are traditional cottage themes and feels very homely. From the menu, some of our favourites were the Cockerels, Laverbread and Bacon starter. It was packed with flavour and I found it to be quite a unique dish. The rack of lamb was also delicious, but the meat was quite tough. The desserts were spectacular however. The brownie was rich in flavour and the ginger pudding was very generous. All dishes were a decent portion size and well worth the cost. I highly recommend stopping by King Arthur Hotel when you're visiting Swansea and Gower, if not for the hotel then for the food alone.

Nice place the front bar with the fire is lovely rear bar okay if there is no room at the front. Good selection of drinks and do non dairy milk for coffee as well. Food is v good. Plenary of parking quite near.

Fantastic venue, lovely food and great atmosphere

Excellent pub, with great food in a superb location. Lots of wow factor!

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.

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

Fabulous but needs a hairdryer in the room

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.

We arrived here after 5 hours of traveling from Liverpool.... We had booked for Dinner as we had read some great reviews... We were not disappointed. Food was top notch and the room we stayed in for the night was more than adequate. Breakfast the following morning was excellent - again you will not be disappointed...

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

Absolutely outstanding. We booked for 26 ladies to have a Christmas get together for our Christmas 3 course lunch. The food was plentiful and absolutely fabulous. The warm and friendly greeting on arrival we experienced with the staff was awesome, they went above and beyond. Definitely going to book again for next years get together. Thank you all at The king Arthur.

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.

We called in, as a family of five, for Wednesday Burger Night, which is great value. Four of us had burgers including the wife, who rarely eats meat, and I had gammon. The food was well cooked, presented and tasted great. The staff were excellent, as always, with a special mention to Max who is all over things front of house and Steve behind the bar, who help keep this well oiled machine running smoothly.

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.

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.

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

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

Wonderful place and great garden.

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

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 :)

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

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 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.

Fantastic food, extremely helpful staff and a beautiful location.

Very pleasant staff. Meal was enjoyable.

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.

Lovely place to stay, a real treat thank you.

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.

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

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.

Very good food at reasonable price and excellent service

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.
