Seaside bungalow overlooking dunes

We had a great stay. The walk to the beach was through paths of greenery and sand dunes. Walked the beaches every day, had the experience of walking through the estuary in shallow water to Ogmore-in-sea, which is a fantastic place for walkers. Porthcawl was good for entertainment and shopping

We knew from other reviews that we were going to stay in a bungalow that offered comfort not mod cons. I like to use the word ‘vintage’ we loved our little home for the week. Anyone with mobility issues this isn’t for you. The bungalow is at the end of a road full of potholes up a hill. Once there the view really is amazing. We were visited by deer and a peacock that wandered about from the woods behind us. To get to the beach, you head down the path for a couple of minutes and on the right is a sign, pathway. Head down there, it forks off, left jump down into a Sandy path or right follow the path through the woods, both take you to the sand dunes, walk a bit further and you are on the beach. Fantastic for dogs and just getting away from it all! We went surfing school in Porthcawl, get lunch there too! We went to Barrie island ( very commercial) and took our paddle boards. we went to Brecon and did the four waterfall trail. We also went to do the zip wire in Brecon. Absolutely amazing week away, we also were lucky enough to have hot weather! Steve is a great host, was really helpful! His neighbor called Warren was also very nice. Would I go back again? DEFINITELY! We absolutely had a fab week away. Thanks so much Steve, will be back soon!

Mr Williams was very helpful with directions and other information. The bungalow is extremely comfortable. We have stayed at many a lovely property all over the U.K only to be let down by nice looking but uncomfortable furniture. Not in this destination. We were very pleased with the size of the accommodation and the splendid views. Where we were most happy was after a nice long walk on the beech the warm living room with big picture window and huge seating unit gave us the perfect place to relax. We have stayed at more luxurious (and expensive) accommodation but can find no fault with what is on offer; and would holiday there again in a heartbeat. Thank you.

We have had a comfortable stay. There was everything we needed and the view is spectacular. We primarily booked to avoid our inner city firework displays in search of peace for our dog and although there were some local fireworks in comparison this was pawfect for our requirements. Thank you Steve.

A warm, comfortable and spacious bungalow. Old fashioned but querky. Lovely long walks from the property. (If you like these) not suitable for wheelchair users or difficulty in walking)The weather was kind which is always a bonus. As listed, a very bumpy and pit holed track up to the property!!

Wonderful views and walks,comfortable cottage, we loved it and will be back again! Thank you!

Providing you want 'out the way' and understand you need a car to get to the local shop/pub etc and you expect an older style home, this house was perfect and great value for money. It really is out of the way situated , down a private windy road, in a raised postition within a short walk of the sand dunes and a 15 minute walk onto a lovely big dog friendly beach. If you are looking for a quiet , peaceful, dog walking style holiday, you lke the idea of a walk through the and dunes with the dogs and the kids to get to a beach which is often quiet due to its location, then this is perfect for you. The house inst full of mod cons, its basic , BUT very homely and warm, it has a lovely 'feel' to it and the carpets and bedding clean and fresh and the first thing you notice when you go into the lounge is the 'wow' view of the beach in the distance. There is plenty for the kids to do, a side board full of dvds and a cupboard full of games and a grass green out the front of the house they can play on. The double bedroom has a view of the sea from the side of the house and the back room has three full sized single beds in it. Adequate bedding , pillows and blankets. The bathroom has a nice deep bath and a shower cubicle and the kitchen has a table in the middle for family meals and you can see that lovely view from the window. To get to the beach you walk a few hundred yards down the road to a footpath and through the dunes. It isnt a smooth road or footpath, so be aware of that, those not steady on your feet it may not be for you. We, however loved it! The house is well situated to drive to porthcawl , where we found adequate take aways and entertainment including a fun fair for the kids and a bit further up you have Rest bay, idea for surfing. The other way you have ogmore by sea, the castle and stepping stones, southerndown beach, all scenic areas and about half an hour away we drove to barry island for more fun fair fun for the kids. Who does it suit the best? a good base for the local area for sightseeing,. people who like views, dont mind being right out of the way of everyone, those who enjoy walks in nature, dog owners, those with kids who want to get back to nature or who want a family home to go back to after a day out, but equally want entertainment a car drive away, the only thing im hoping im not doing with this review is making it so appealling that it gets booked up before i can book up my holiday there again next year! :-)

Bungalow has retro charm and large window with beautiful view of the coast. We walked from the bungalow through dunes to the beach with dog nearly every morning, pony trekked at ogmore riding centre onto the beach, body boarded at rest bay, had a trip to oxwich bay to see friends and paddle boarded, lovely coffee and cakes at glass cafe on porth cawl front, took kids to fun fair. The bungalow has a large shared green outside perfect for dogs and kids. Owner really helpful and friendly.

Plain and basic which is what we wanted with small children and a dog. We walked to the beach in the evening, the kids thoroughly enjoyed the terrain. We parked at Newton beach when we had more stuff to carry, it's literally at the beach. It would be great if You invested in Wifi Steve and you definitely need a "mind the step" sign on the lounge door as I went flying. Would defo go again.

Too far from beach for older people and no where within walking distance for shops or pubs but we enjoyed our stay

We stayed here for two nights, wish it could have been longer. It is a great little home, had everything you could need, and the view from the sitting room , wow you could not help but relax. Lovely walks with dogs, close to Porthcawl a few miles away and Cardiff only half hour away. Would stay again definitely. Our dogs loved it too :) . Thank you very much for letting us stay.

Ein wundervolles, charmantes Haus mit fantastischem Ausblick auf die Küste! Alles da was man brauchen könnte, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Pub, etc in wenigen Minuten erreichbar. Der Strand ist hundefreundlich und die Nachbarschaft liebenswert... Der Vermieter Steve ist absolut zuvorkommend und mit Rat und Tat zur Stelle! Wirklich ein perfekter Urlaub!
