We had a weekend at Hurst Dene as we wanted to be close to Uplands and Sketty. Our apartment - first floor with a balcony, was the most expensive but good value. …

We stayed here for over 4 weeks in total while our son was in hospital. The owner and team could not have been more helpful and kind. The place was so convenient for all amenities, such as shops, restaurants, cafes, parks. …

Very Dirty, thread bare and stained carpet rubbish under the bed. And the kettle was still half full of water.. may or may not have been there for days. It seemed like the room hadn't been cleaned in a Very long time. The location was ok . Much better places to stay for the money in my opinion

This accomodation is great value with friendly hosts. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of higher priced places, but what you do get is a good location, decent sized rooms and a good night sleep. One negative is that there are not enough parking spots.

Rooms are very old school, but the location is good if you want to have a drink in a bar in the evening.
