Mr Turpin
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.

Two ceiling lights and one lamp didn’t have bulbs. The upstairs toilet was broken and although reported in the first night it was not repaired during our stay. Two of four cups were chipped. Towel rail not fitted correctly Some rot in bathroom near shower. The location makes up for a lot, overall it was comfortable.

Stayed for 2 weeks in mid September, beautiful area to stay, lovely beaches and walks, the cottage was in a great location and we really enjoyed our, just make sure you close the front gate or the sheep wander in and leave their calling cards. Would highly recommend .
