Description
Cobwebs Corner is a characterful, pet-friendly cottage immersed in the beautiful village of Newton, Porthcawl.
With original features retained throughout, you can be sure to find a warm and charming atmosphere from the moment you step inside Cobwebs Corner, whilst conveniently set just moments away from the beach and local amenities, making the abode an ideal hub for families.
Park up at the roadside, travelling through the cobweb-inspired gate, reaching the enclosed patio, a haven for alfresco dining whilst your furry friends play.
Step indoors to reach the kitchen/diner, fully-equipped for a self-catered stay, where you can gather as a four for mealtimes, whilst the sitting room oozes character, with original beams overhead, a delightful stone feature wall, and even the original coffin drop and smugglers cave, paying homage to the home’s origins.
Cosy up in front of the electric fire before travelling up the spiral staircase, firstly reaching a double bedroom, a single room, and the shower room.
The second floor houses the single bedroom, seperate to this you’ll also find a games room with a selection of scalextrics, board games and puzzles, perfect for taking advantage of on wetter days!

Porthcawl is well-known for its stunning sandy beach, so don’t forget to pack your bucket and spade when you leave the house!

What guests are saying
Lovely little cottage would stay there again.
Lovely little cottage with the owner Tony living next door who was very helpful and friendly, much smaller than expected from the photos, 3rd bedroom in a very low roof attic.
Kitchen needs some TLC but was clean and had everything we needed, stairs were a little awkward due to style. Dogs not allowed upstairs but nothing in place to keep dogs off the open spiral staircase, not enough seating in lounge for 4 adults. Area very nice with short walk to beach and local pubs. No off road parking available and due to busy area not always able to park near the property. We had a great week, will definitely return to porthcawl but we will need to find a slightly bigger cottage next time. 4 adults and 2 small german spitz
It feels such a shame that this lovely cottage feels so unloved - and seems to have adopted the “student house” vibe with tatty, unfinished internals and wiring strung around the walls like a bedsit.
Whilst I understand the property is old, I also live in a 300+ year property and know what is possible. There is simply no excuse for not having basic amenities such as a kettle (instead some weird old coffee machine that spits hot water occasionally) when they’re £5 from Tesco. I genuinely think 2 weeks of effort could transform this from weird, gothic/hippy student accommodation to beautiful holiday house. The owner was utterly delightful, so I assume it’s a disconnect between you as the property letting agency and him as to what is considered acceptable or normal. It felt like such a shame - novelty holiday house actually felt more like a weird set for a horror film. The entire place should have a freshen up, tidy up and deep clean. We shouldn’t feel obliged to clean dirt out of the fridge when we arrive, but we did. Door handles barely hanging on, and not able to be opened is basic maintenance and no excuse for it not being done- it takes minutes.
