The Ivy Bush

The Ivy Bush is a lovely bar and restaurant with a beautiful little Airbnb. Sue was so friendly and her and her son helped us carry our stuff up. It's a pet friendly accommodation which is a huge plus. We enjoyed playing pool and grabbing a pint. What a lovely and relaxing time we had. Sue was very accomodating with ensuring we had fresh linen and even gave us a ball for my son to use. We had access to the garden to soak up some rare Welsh sunshine. Little touches like pencil crayons and local restaurant menus are great too. It has a wonderful big shower, and a cute little breakfast nook. In the kitchen is an oven, small fridge, microwave and gas hob. There is an iron and ironing board. Everything you need for a trip away. Would highly recommend it.

❤️❤️❤️❤️ Today I had my first full on Sunday dinner in 14 months and only my second in 30 months!😱 Todays gorgeous roast was at The Ivy Bush in Pontedawe, up in the valleys beyond Swansea. Roast beef, roast pork, full selection on vegetables including my favorite parsnips and extra gravy! Typing this I could actually eat it all again and with the cheesecake and ice cream that followed. Thanks to the proprietor, Dean Verbeeck, for a great afternoon, sorry we missed you. Next time!

We went here for nothing more than an early pub supper. It turned out to be the best food we ate all week. The tapas was superb! Authentic? I'll say it was, without question, as good as anything you would eat in Spain and so very very tasty. Next time I'm in the Swansea area I know where I'm going for supper. I understand that Chef Naz will also cater for private functions so anyone with an event who wants Spanish food need look no further. 10 out of 10.
