    We loved the homely feel of the place, the decor, all you need in a cottage, and the wonderful outdoor seating area and bath. The lovely welcome from the owners, with fresh cooked bread, marmalade, eggs and tea and coffee. The array of farm animals that walked into the field surrounding us. So peaceful and calming

  • "Highly recommend staying here!"

    The cottage was absolutely beautiful and spotlessly clean! The bath was just the best plus a lovely shower! The patio was beautiful with cute little lights for the evening to allow you to sit outside & overlook the fields! The cottage has also the essentials & good WiFi. The owners went above & beyond letting us feed the animals checking we were happy etc! Many places to visit within a short drive including kenfig nature reserve, monknash & Merthyr Mawr! Beautiful sandy beaches near by. Great for dog walks & seeing lovely scenery I never realised this part of wales had so much to see (there is also a dog friendly shopping centre about ten minutes away) ! We will definitely be coming back here! Cannot explain enough how lovely this place is! Thank you!!!! Basically just grab your doggy and take them for a lovely adventure they deserve it! Feel truely relaxed after staying here!

    A perfect peaceful setting. Catherine and Ciaran could not have been more welcoming, kind and helpful. Welcome pack of warm, fresh, homemade bread, marmalade, milk and dog treats. They had even lit the logburner! All very much appreciated after a long drive.
