Lavish a little luxury on Lottie the labrador when you take her with you to this inviting abode in Portcawl. Sleeping eight guests, the airy, four-bedroom house offers stylish accommodation together with a magnificent garden for your puppy pal to play in. Spend sunny days on beautiful South Wales beaches and enjoy long walks together through parks and nature reserves.

Wander inside this welcoming, three-storey, detached retreat with Lottie trotting behind. Head through to the large lounge, which has a beautiful bay window, to kick back and relax on one of the elegant sofas. As Lottie dozes at your feet, find a good film on the Smart TV. When tired feet and paws are rested, amble through to the lounge/kitchen/diner, a fabulous social space for both hounds and humans. Prepare tasty meals, feed people and pets and throw open the French windows to the lawned garden so Lottie can pad outside. There is also a useful WC downstairs. When tired eyes start to close, settle your contented canine for the night and head on up to the first and second floors. A king-size bedroom, with an en-suite bathroom, is on the first floor, together with the family bathroom and two doubles. A family room, with a king-size bed and a single, is on the floor above, along with another WC. Let Lottie race about the sizeable garden to her heart’s content. Light the BBQ and dine out in the fresh air. There is private parking here for four cars.

Walk along the dunes and watch Lottie splash in the shallows at the picturesque Kenfig National Nature Reserve, just 2 miles away. Newton Beach, also 2 miles away, also welcomes four-pawed pals. The Afan Forest Park, 12.5 miles from your base, features 14 trails for you and your chum to follow.

We did have a lovely stay at the house, unfortunately on arrival a cat had been accidentally locked in the games room at the end of the garden and there was quite a bit of mess (toilet) that needed cleaning up. The owners responded really quickly and the cleaners came round and cleaned the room, however it was incredibly hot while we were there anRead mored the room did still smell quite a bit which was a shame. The house is lovely though and in a great situation, we loved the beaches and the pubs in Nottage. Hide
