Profile information

I recently (August 6, 2007) returned from a wonderful trip with my wife to Great Britain. We visited my parents in Neyland, Wales. From there we drove eastward to go on an elaborate pub crawl. We first travelled to "The Mumbles" and discovered a terrific pub called "The Pilot." We found great hospitality there and by the end of the night the locals were singing us beautiful Welsh songs. We felt very welcome. From there we drove up to Abergavenny, Wales to stay at The Skirrid Mountain Inn (Wales's Oldest Inn). The Skirrid includes a terrific pub and they are great hosts as well. We then travelled to the Isle of Wight and found a historic pub called "The Buddle Inn" on the Southern part of the island. Surprisingly, I found that I really enjoyed the bitters which are not very common in the United States. I especially enjoyed Worthington's Bitter, London's Pride, Caffrey's and Flowers Bitter. Now, I'm a bitter man!

The Buddle Inn, Niton

My wife and I found out about The Buddle Inn through an Isle of Wight brochure. We found this pub to have a lot of history, it is really a beautiful pub. Not only that but when we first stopped in for a mid-day pint the bartender was very hospitable and she shared some of the history of the place. The pub overlooks the water and is very picturesque. I enjoyed a Flowers bitter and my wife enjoyed a Carling. Later that evening after touring the southern part of the island we stopped back for a terrific dinner. I am baffled that this pub has a rating lower than an 8. I think the place is under new ownership because it was one of the nicest pubs we visited in England. - Dean

The White Rose, Mumbles

We visited The White Rose back on July 29th, 2007. This indeed is the start of The Mumbles Mile and what a great place to get started! Their ales and bitters are top notch. They've got a menu with extensive choices and the prices are very good. Don't start The Mumbles Mile without visiting "The White Rose" first! - Dean

The Pilot, Mumbles

The Pilot Is Reopened!!! We visited the "The Pilot" on July 29th, 2007 while attempting to drink "The Mumbles Mile." The new proprietor is a terrific hostess and we found her pub to be very inviting with a really fun crowd. All of her ales and bitters were top notch. If ever in Swansea go the extra mile and visit "The Pilot" along The Mumbles Mile! lechyd Da! - Dean Williams
