The property has been perfect for our stay, we literally used it as a base after long days out and about. Comfortable, clean and had all the amenities we needed. 4 generations making memories!
10/10 place and location.6 lads stayed here for a golf trip and loved the place! Charming, spacious and had everything you need! The photos honestly don’t do this place justice! Fun local pubs, lovely coastal walks.Huw was particularly very helpful with absolutely everything. Highly recommend!
We found the cottage very cozy but had plenty of room for two couples. The area is quiet and the people we met were very friendly snd helpful. It worked well as a home base for us as we did a day trip each day.
We had a great 3 days in Wick, walking the coast trail and exploring nearby towns. Our best meal by far was at the Farmers Arms in St Brides Major. Great Turkish food! The house was perfect and the outdoor table much appreciated.
The cottage met our needs perfectly. Having 3 toilets and 2 showers available also helped with having 5 adults staying together. The rooms are spacious making it very comfortable. The information package was invaluable and additional instructions for certain items helped a lot. Highly recommend!
We loved the comfortable house and its big kitchen and dining table. The courtyard was nice.The bedrooms were spacious and the facilities were all useful. We loved the quiet town and the walks by the sea. Great memories of a beautiful place!
The cottage is superbly equipped and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in an excellent location to enjoy the coastline and local villages and towns. Huw responded quickly to any request we made and was very informative. A cottage we will return to.
Fabulous property. Well presented, accurate listing. Very warm property!
Great location - so much to see within 30 minute drive.
Good clear communication with owners.
The house was just right for our family reunion. It is large, clean, well equipped and convient to get to the center of Cardiff. We enjoyed our stay that was made all the easier for the excellent communication with the owner and the easy and simple check in. Diolch yn Fawr!
This house is cute and cozy. Lots of room for my family of 8. Best part was the washer and dryer. The other nice aspect was the patio parking space was large enough for our van. Definitely recommend!
The house was as good as the written description and better than the photos. Plenty of space - two lounges, big kitchen diner, more than decent bedrooms. Had all that we needed as a base. Thanks very much!
My family had a wonderful time here. Plenty of room for us to spread out…and after a nine hour plane trip, we definitely needed it. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood but close to larger cities and beautiful beaches, this was a great jumping off point for our adventures.
Huw also thoughtfully gave us directions to beautiful walks and a spectacular walled garden…local gems that can’t be found in any guide books. I highly recommend this property for your next adventure in South Wales.

I’m so glad we were able to contribute to your UK adventure. Thank you especially for taking such great care of the property; it is much appreciated!
Overall it's great. There are a few tired bits of decor that detract a bit from the appearance and the cleaning before we arrived could have been a little better, but it's a great house for a group, with comfortable beds, a good-sized lounge and a nice outdoor area for sitting around when it's warm.

Thank you Carl for taking the time to write a review. We don’t normally have negative comments about the cleaning standard; in fact, quite the opposite, if you read the other reviews. I’m sorry that the cleaner left cleaning cloths in the en-suite bathroom. Thank you for your suggestion about putting plastic bin liners in all bins. On reflection, and ever aware of plastic pollution, we have decided to remain only putting liners in the kitchen bins. In terms of decor: agreed that a few ares are due a lick of paint. We have a programme of replacement and updating, which we manage whilst keeping charges down, ensuring good value for money. I’m glad the (unusually) good weather allowed you to enjoy the BBQ and outside space.
Ha, It's a lovely welcoming house, with plenty of space and facilities in a perfect location for exploring the wonderful local beaches. It's has good transport links to drop into the local town and Cardiff.
Not the first time, and keep coming back. The property manager is rather excellent with regular communcation
Thankyou for letting us stay in an absolutely fantastic location. The beach at Ogmore is not far away, the great food at the local pub, the walks to the cliffs and the park for my three year old son to play in.
We will be back next year.
Thankyou
