  • Cosy and welcoming accommodation for two surrounded by trees and nature
  • Pet-friendly cottage close to beaches and world-class golf courses
  • Former farm building restored to a high standard, within acres of private grounds

Property code: OC-94806

A lovingly restored farm building surrounded by sprawling 4.5 acres of lush woodland and perfectly placed for adventures along the South Wales Cost. This traditional hideaway is ideal for an outdoorsy couple or solo traveller and their tufty-pawed pal. In high season, scope out the dog-dedicated stretch of sand at Rest Bay Beach (3 miles) for hours of wave-crashing fun. Back at base, sip an al fresco brew in the south-facing courtyard while Fido dries his soggy paws.

This inviting property boasts a classic cottage interior with warm earthy tones, checked fabrics, and wooden design details. Towel off your sandy companion at the door before padding into the welcoming lounge. Recline on the sofa and crack open the chocolates or peruse the bookshelf and curl up for a read. After a day of adventuring, rustle up some refreshments in the stylish shaker kitchen and prepare a special holiday supper for your hungry hound. In the dining room, prop open the patio doors and feast with the gentle summer breeze drifting inside. Ascend the staircase to the peaceful king-size bedroom with crisp linens. Enjoy your morning coffee from the courtyard or grab the lead and venture through the private woodland and orchard with an abundance of fragrant wildflowers for your curious canines to sniff.

Stroll the bustling high street of Porthcawl (2 miles) and swing by the country pub welcoming furry patrons with open arms. Get tails wagging with a sandy scamper across the sprawling Merthyr Mawr (5 miles) or feel the wind in your fur with a scenic saunter along the Wales Coast Path boardwalk (within 2 miles).

The cottage was a good base for exploring the local area and cooking for ourselves. Despite some noise from the main road next to the property, we felt very private with our own courtyard to enjoy the sunshine on the outdoor seating. The sofas and bed were very comfortable.

A very comfortable cottage, with a lovely area to relax in. Large grounds in which to walk our dog. A main road is next to the property but it doesnt drown out the birdsong. The owner, Howard is very friendly. There are lots of dog friendly walks nearby in the dunes, there are dog friendly pubs a short walk away.
