Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is fantastic, nestled in the quaint village of Llangennith and just a stone's throw away from Rhossili beach. The rooms were perfect, especially for dog owners like me, with a cozy stone/tile floor and underfloor heating, a large green moon decoration, and convenient amenities like a kettle and fridge. The staff was accommodating and handled everything professionally, even during a busy period. The dining experience was exceptional, with quality ingredients and generous portions. Overall, a wonderful experience with just a few minor hitches in service.
The Inn is conveniently located on the edge of the outstanding Gower beaches and countryside, right next to a pub with excellent ales. The rooms are adequate and welcoming, though they are in a house next-door, not in the converted barn shown in the website pictures. The service is absolutely brilliant, with friendly and engaging staff who go the extra mile to be helpful. The dining experience offers a great selection of hot and cold food, with fantastic options like the best bacon in a long time. However, for a weekend away, the lack of dog-friendly accommodations in the main restaurant might be a downside.
The hotel is nestled in some very attractive stone outbuildings overlooking flowerbeds and shrubs, full of chattering sparrows. The rooms were brought back up to standard and located in a quiet area, offering delicious food served by friendly and hardworking staff.
