Set within acres of private grounds, this character-filled cottage provides a peaceful bolthole for two people and their four-pawed pal. Fully adapted for additional accessibility, the single-storey property features a light-filled living room, flexible sleeping options and a large wet room.
You’ll feel at home the moment you step into the spacious lounge here, where comfortable seating and a TV suggest quiet nights in, and a sofa bed adds sleep-time versatility. French doors open from here onto the garden – a feature that’s repeated in the neighbouring kitchen/diner which has all the essentials for an effortless self-catering stay. Close by is a master bedroom with a king-size bed and a large wet room, each with enough floor space for a wheelchair to turn. All the accommodation here is on one level, and that consideration extends to the south-facing garden, where there’s a flat patio area and a choice of outdoor furniture. Guests are encouraged to enjoy the entire 4.5-acre grounds, which include an orchard and mature woodland – benches dotted throughout offer plenty of resting places for you and your pet.
The village of Newton, where this property is located, has welcoming shops and pubs and is home to a stunning sandy beach. Fido will love sniffing out the 3 miles of sand and rock here, while the nearby Merthyr Mawr Nature Reserve, 1 mile from your doorstep, leads to the mouth of the River Ogmore. For old-fashioned seaside fun, head to the resort of Porthcawl (2 miles) where an abundance of independent cafes, bars and shops line the esplanade and you can take in spectacular views across the Bristol Channel to the North Devon coast.
