We stayed here last Friday as we were going to a 25th wedding anniversary at Sketty Hall. We arrived last because of bad traffic and Richard and Merle couldn't have been more helpful. Richard even took the time to drive us to the venue. Very comfortable and clean accommodation and the best breakfast I have ever had in a B&B.... More

Richard and Merle made us feel welcome and at home from the moment we arrived, when we were offered a very welcome cup of tea after our journey, until the moment we left when Richard and Merle stood on the steps and waved us on our way. The breakfast was stupendous. If we could have scored it higher we would!... More

I am writing this review on behalf of my parents who stayed here for a few days in March 2013. The guest house is located in a central, but peaceful location within easy access of the seafront, Clyne, Mumbles, Sketty, Singleton park (University) and local shops. The guest house is close to the local university - about a 5-10 min... More

This B and B was immaculate inside and the service provided was top class. They were extremely helpful and the breakfast was out of this world. Best place I have ever stayed. If you are visiting Swansea this is the place to stay

Chatcoombe is very convenient for Sketty Hall, Singleton Hospital & the University But it is much more. Great breakfast, nice clean room, super bathroom. Also Merle & Richard were very welcoming & helpful. Whether it was where to go and see things, which pub to go to and the best way to get there. Nothing was too much trouble

We had the opportunity to visit Richard and Merle on two successive weekends, in connection with family events in Mumbles. Both visits were entirely successful thanks to the diligence and seriousness with which they they take their business. Every need is attended to, the room we had was spotlessly clean and comfortable in every respect, and the breakfasts were "to... More

Came down for an overnight visit with my mother and 3yr old daughter to visit my eldest daughter who has just started university. My mum has stayed here before and told me how nice it was, and I wasn't disappointed. Firstly, you couldn't wish for more welcoming hosts - Merle and Richard were so friendly and helpful. The room was... More

A great place to stay - a real home away from home! Richard and Merle are so friendly and welcoming, the bedroom was clean and cosy, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. The only shame was that we couldn't stay any longer....We will definitely be back to stay at Chatcoombe.

We Stayed at Chatcoombe for four nights. On our arrival Merle and Richard greeted us with a lovely pot of tea, and a cold drink for my daughter. The room was beautifully presented, exceptionally clean, and light and airy. Both Merle and Richard had an exceptional knowledge of the area, and gave us great tips on where to go and... More

I used Chatcoombe on a trip to Swansea because it was recommended by colleagues at the University of Swansea. It was great and we will be using it regularly for the next few years.
