Overall the cottage was cosy and we enjoyed our stay in this lovely area that we know very well. We contacted the agency about the upstairs toilet and they were very helpful and friendly. I would recommend this property but it really needs some TLC in all rooms before I would recommend, and having a decent hoover would help too.

Beautiful location and local pub/hotel in walking distance The cottage lacked cleanliness. However well equipped with a beautiful log burner and heating system which kept the cottage warm especially at this time of year.

Enjoyed a lovely stay in Robin Cottage. Found it to be a very comfortable and welcoming cottage with plenty of space and adequately stocked with all the items needed to make your stay home from home. The decking in the rear garden does get very slippery when wet, so care is needed, but our dog enjoyed the safe and secure garden. Reynoldston is a picturesque and peaceful village, with a great pub and village shop. The cottage is perfectly situated to enjoy all that The Gower has to offer with nothing in the region more than a 20 minute drive away. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely revisit.
