Embrace nature on a holiday in this charming lodge on the rugged south coast of Wales. The property sleeps four guests and suits couples and small families who enjoy coastal walks and days at the beach, accompanied by a canine chum. You’ll be just 1 mile from a paw-friendly beach, and the seaside resorts of Ogmore-by-Sea and Barry are within 15 miles. After a day at the beach, sip a sundowner on the terrace, taking in the tranquil surroundings.
Enter the holiday home into a bright, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This sociable space has a contemporary design and a colour palette to reflect the surrounding landscape. French doors frame a stunning countryside view and on a summer’s day you can throw them open to allow your four-pawed pal to potter in and out to the terrace. Alternatively, on a chilly evening, fire up the wood burner to create a snuggly spot for family mealtimes around the dining table and movie nights on the plush sofa. Two stylish, king-size bedrooms complete the accommodation, along with a sleek shower room. Outside, admire the far-reaching views from your private terrace. Below the terrace is a grassed area where the hound can stretch their legs.
A scenic, tree-lined track leads you for 1 mile to the wild and remote Monknash Beach. The beach, which welcomes woofers all year, is predominantly rocky (the perfect spot for rock pooling) and is also popular with fossil hunters. From here, you can pick up the Glamorgan Heritage Coast Trail, which leads east to the bustling town of Llantwit Major or west to Ogmore-by-Sea. This seaside resort boasts a sandy, paw-friendly beach, as well as a great choice of eateries. You and Fido can also climb the hill to explore the intriguing ruins of Ogmore Castle.
