We had a lovely stay at the Diplomat. The staff were all wonderful, really helpful friendly and we felt very welcome. The hotel itself it a bit tired but everything was very clean and we enjoyed a delicious breakfast. It’s in a bit of a weird location but we had a wonderful trip to the Gower exploring the coast around Rhossili which is beautiful.

Spa was good. Nice pool, sauna and steam room. Evening meal was very good but breakfast a little disappointing. What was there was good but I probably arrived at a busy time as very few eggs and hash browns or fresh fruit. The guy on reception was very helpful.
