Property code: OC-HH328

Set in the heart of the Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this charming cottage for a couple or family features a cosy living room with a crackling wood burner and a delightful private garden for al fresco dining on a warm sunny day.

The moment you step inside, you’ll be enveloped in a welcoming embrace that’s hard to resist. The inviting lounge beckons you to take a seat and relax in the glow of the wood burner while you sink into the plush sofas and watch your favourite TV shows. The characterful kitchen is a culinary haven, with a breakfast bar and a door that leads out to the garden. Adjoining the kitchen is a delightful dining area that offers an ideal setting for intimate meals with loved ones. The family bathroom is also located on the ground floor. Climb the steep, cottage-style stairs that lead to the first floor, and discover the king-size and twin bedrooms, both offering views of the garden. Outside, four steps lead up from the kitchen to an enclosed garden that’s a true oasis of tranquillity. The well-manicured lawn and picturesque patio provide an ideal space for outdoor relaxation and al fresco dining.

The house is surrounded by the spectacular countryside of the Gower Peninsular. 2.5 miles away lies the magnificent Cefn Bryn, where you can marvel at the ancient monument of King Arthur’s Stone and soak in the mesmerising panoramic views. Indulge in delightful day trips to some of the most stunning beaches in the area, where you can bask in the sand and splash around in the pristine waters. Try Oxwich Bay (3 miles) or Rhossili (6 miles) and experience the unparalleled beauty of these sandy shores. For a change of pace, visit the city of Swansea. Here, you can discover the bustling shops, immerse yourself in the vibrant culture, take a dip at the exhilarating water park or explore the National Waterfront Museum.

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 piRead morecturesque 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. Hide

Two ceiling lights and one lamp didnt 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.

The cottage is in a great location, but poor cleanliness and maintenance really let it down. We arrived to dog hair covering all the carpets both upstairs and down, a full bin, dirty kitchen surfaces, bed not made, black mould around the bath, light bulb missing, a broken towel holder and an overgrown garden with large weeds through the patio (not Read morelike the photo at all!) The kitchen chairs were also in a poor state and one collapsed when one of our party sat down. A real shame Hide

Cottage is in a good location for walking and exploring the Gower Peninsula. Unfortunately the cottage is not as shown in the photos. The grass was overgrown and the patio poorly maintained. The deckchairs had seen better days. Livingroom smelt of dogs and needs a deep clean as mentioned by other reviews. Kitchen well equipped.

Overall the house was ok. The location was the biggest plus point. Centrally located with a short drive to all the beautiful beaches. We were very disappointed by an overgrown garden, broken garden furniture, and mess left by a previous dog! It was nothing like the pictures on the website. Our dog refused to go on the garden as the grass was so lRead moreong and full of dandelions which attracted the bees. The house needs some attention to detail, a bit of modernising and a thorough floor clean. Hide

Although advertised as no welcome pack. we felt that there could have been the bare minimum of essentials (tea, milk, eggs, bread etc).

The cottage is located in Reynoldston which is a attractive village with a small shop. The village pub is lively and the clientele friendly, and it provides good pub food. Reynoldston is in a very central position on the Gower and within 15 minutes by car of the lovely Rossili, Oxwich, Port Eynon and Broughton Bays. Visiting Rhossili Beach from LlaRead morengennith, is worth while, a short walk through the sand dunes opens out onto an amazing stretch of sand. There are also some lovely castles to visit, particularly Weobley and Penrice (although you can only walk near the latter). Hide
