Not bad, not great. Lovely staff! Very friendly. It seemed like the ducks had fleas/mites because they all couldnt stop scratching. Its very based around the history which is good, not much to do if youre over 8. But there is a cute park and indoor things for young children 🥰

Fabulous, had a great time and lovely light lunch, tea and cakes. Tour guide was very good, nice strong voice easy to hear, gave the historical info and a friendly chap. Lots of interesting bits on display... And loved the two old Great Dane statues.

Great experience and well worth a visit. A little gem of a place for adults and children. Plenty to see, read up on with really good exhibitions. Great little play area, animals and indoor play. The food and drink was very nice. Great friendly service and value for money. We visited as a family of 7 with age ranges. We all loved our visit. Thank you.

Happened upon Gower Heritage Centre while driving in the area and visited today. Really interesting and enjoyable. There's a good amount to see and in particular enjoyed the mill and chickens. Dog friendly, just the chicken area had to take in turns to stay back with pup which makes sense. Sami gave us a tour of the mill which was definitely a highlight, Sami added a lot of interesting information and was enjoyable to chat with. When we finished we had some lush pickings from the Little Gower Bakery on site and enjoyed lunch in the sun. Would recommend and look forward to coming again.
