LOL. Are you sure you want us to lower the tone of the place?

There's a nice train set along the front though.
And

so dilapidated and so frightful looking

means that the riders arriving do not look out of place. It's lovely there, and the reviewer was looking through rogue tinted spectacles.

Tides Reach - tell Mary you 'know of' me...she'll charge you double.

Be careful: I recall I told her that and she cancelled my reservation!

I stayed at a lovely place on a beach on the other side of the mountain town. Comfortable room and wonderful breakfast, including home made laverbread. I can't remember what it is called now, but it was well located for a quick tour of the Gower on the Sunday morning, which was well worth doing.

home made laverbread

Come now, Frank, have you been influenced by la belle Claudine?
Home made? You go down to the beach, pick up some manky seaweed, and plonk it onto a plate.
Job's a good'un (unlike the laverbread)

Just love the Gower stunning place

Useful. Thanks Frank.

I suppose I could ask the person who suggested it if she can remember what it was called...

Your arrangements were complicated, IIRC. Didn't you get bumped out of the Glenview because your reputation reached them before you did? Anyway, odds on you ended up here: http://langlandbayhouse.com/

That's the one!
My room had the green carpet.

The next one from Cardiff won't be until next year. But the next FNrttC is 16th October Manchester to Morecambe. There's a thread here and more info on the web site here.

Could the ride organisers please turn the forecast wind for Friday 180 degrees please? Very nasty headwind predicted, and no-one's going to like that for 70 miles, apart from meaning I am condemned to getting the FGW cattle truck rather than a nice relaxing 150 miler....
