Lovely.
The room was fine however there was a synthetic air freshener smell I hated. I think it was placed under the bed. If we had stayed longer I’d have asked for it to be removed but we were in and out quickly.
The room was good for our requirements.
The inn itself looks wonderful. We had a quick drink before we went elsewhere. Wish we had eaten at the Fountain as breakfast was superb - 10/10.
Staff were all incredibly nice, happy and chatty.

Lovely stay - excellent breakfast.
Spotlessly clean throughout. We stayed for 2 nights and ate in the restaurant both evenings. The food was excellent and great value for money. Wonderful breakfast freshly cooked to order on both mornings. Location great for exploring the Gower. Staff very friendly.

Xmas break catching up with family
We had a lovely stay, the staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us, breakfast was very good. The only criticism is that the bed was very low and uncomfortable

Possibly the cleanest room I've ever stayed in. Some fixtures dated, but all worked perfectly, no damage, everything spotless. Best breakfast I've had for months.
