"A lovely holiday property which was very well equipped, clean and tidy."
Everything you need for a relaxing break. The view from the living area is great. A nice cafe in the adjacent car park and great walking locally.

Close to the Beach and Costal Path.

"This is the second time we have stayed at 21 The Rest and we have already booked for next year and that sums it up!"
The apartment is beautiful with the most wonderful views of the bay. It is well equipped with comfy beds and plenty of space.
We love Rest Bay and have visited it many many times and it is an absolute delight to enjoy the bay and the surrounding countryside from such a beautiful apartment. Thankyou very much.

Well done to the owners for providing that extra touch of quality with all of the fittings and utensils.

"21 The Rest, Porthcawl certainly lived up to the 5* rating."
Such a comfortable and beautifully presented apartment.
The sea views from the property along with having the beach and coast on the doorstep just made the holiday experience perfect.
We look forward to visiting again.

"21 the rest exceeded our expectations."
Yes, it’s a bit of a hike up all the stairs but it’s well worth it. The flat was clean and well designed. The views were just lush!
We loved Porthcawl for our short break and enjoyed food in the cafe next door and had a delicious pizza delivered from weird doh.

"Rest Bay in a heat wave, what's not to like!"
That coupled with a beautiful apartment overlooking the bay it was a joy.
The information provided prior to our arrival was accurate and therefore the beautiful flights of stairs leading to the apartment came as no surprise.
This apartment is one of the best I have stayed in, beautifully presented with everything we needed and an abundance of the essentials . We loved the welcoming coffee and the milk frother ( my husband has subsequently bought one!)
I suppose the best way to show how much we rated our stay is to say that half way through our holiday we booked for 2 weeks next year!!! Thankyou

"This apartment is beautifully appointed and a real home from home."
The owners have thought of everything and are very generous with everyday essentials. The situation is fantastic and with superb views and easy access to the coastal path. The surfers cafe is a boon to have so close for a breakfast or lunchtime treat. We have already booked another visit.

"Thoroughly enjoyed staying at the apartment, the stairs are a little weary but it was advertised saying there were a lot of stairs."
I'd like to have a extra bedding to put on the bed when it was cold. Also a small television in the bedroom when you can't sleep but don't want to get back up.
These are more observations not complaints.
The views from the windows were breathtaking, well equipped kitchen. The lounge was comfortable and both bathrooms were top class. Would like to return again in the future. Thank you.

"The Property."
..was very nice....We loved the Location and Views.The bedrooms were cold...We used the blankets.There are 45 steps to climb and with heavy suitcases..it was impossible given we are over 70 however a resident carried our 3 suitcases up the stairs...With out him we would have had to abandon trip.We thought there was a lift...however also you could,nt have 2 showers going at the same time,as the water would run cold.Also the power of the water just stopped or ran cold...But it is a very nice apartment.......

"This is an incredible apartment!"
The sea views from the lounge and main bedroom are so beautiful - watching the surfers and the tides changing was a real treat. The pictures of the place really don't do it justice. Rest Bay is a stunning beach which has a surf school and hire shop with a cafe. The beds are really comfy and there is everything you could need and more in the kitchen (with some lovely extras which really added a touch of luxury). There is plenty of room for all the family with all the facilities you could need. With three flights of stairs, you need to be fairly agile though. Overall, we would thoroughly recommend this apartment.

"The apartment was the perfect place to be during a heatwave."
The apartment and location is fantastic. We loved being so close to the beach; swimming during the day and walks at night. Really good to have allocated parking. There is no lift in the building and this could be an issue for some people. The lack of lift did not bother us as it's not every day we can stay in a Grade 2 listed building. We highly recommend 21 The Rest and would love to stay again.

"We left it late to book a holiday in South Wales this summer and at first, the photos made us think that it wouldn't be all that spacious for the price - we were just glad to have secured a place."
But as soon as we walked into the property, we were really impressed and could see the photos don't really do it justice. It's a fantastic, modern spacious and airy apartment with everything you could want and more. Sea views, clean modern decor and facilities, lovely bathrooms. The kitchen is really well equipped with lots of workspace and the breakfast bar makes it a very sociable space. The beds are super comfy which is really important for a week's stay. As a family of three adults and two children, we never felt on top of each other, and had a lovely week pottering on the beach, taking Lucie the Land Train into town, and visiting St Fagans and Margam Country Park. We just need to come back to explore the coastal path now!
