Our room was small but spotlessly clean and dspite being on a main road very quiet.
Breakfast was freshly cooked, generous and very good quality. We would definitely stay here again.

Staff were fantastic from checking in to servicing the room and our needs. Nothing was any trouble. Restaurant staff were amazing along with all the chefs.
Food was amazing cannot fault any meal we had. Nice garden area to sit outside
The only thing to mention is outside our hotel room door (room 5 first floor) there must be a generator as every morning from 7am onwards. Along with the sound it also caused vibrations on our door. So if you are a light sleeper bear this in mind. We were there 3 nights and got used to so this did not cause to much bother.
Will definitely return

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.

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.

Very clean and tidy room. We did like the interior of our room.There was a little bit of lack of space to move around.
Very happy with our choice to stay at The Fountain Inn.We would strongly recommend it to our friends.

Lovely establishment. Staff pleasant. Room a little smaller than expected. Bedside lamp not working but as only there overnight it wasn’t a problem.Had to leave very early and no staff available so had to leave key in the room, emailed to say where it was. Plenty of parking.
