This impressive second-floor apartment in the award-winning ‘Links’ development in Rest Bay, Porthcawl, is an ideal destination for friends, couples, and families with up to two canine companions looking for an active holiday. Newton Beach (3.5 miles) and Pink Bay Beach (3 miles) allow four-legged visitors all year round, so these are the places to head for your water sports and sand castle competitions. Bring your bikes and enjoy trails, including a seafront cycle route taking in local attractions, including the Grand Pavillion, the harbour and the lighthouse.

A gorgeous property with a coastal-inspired theme and calming hues offers a relaxing space from the moment you step inside. Take the lift from the main entrance to this stylish, contemporary apartment, where your pups will find a sunny spot to sleep.

Cook a tasty meal in the sleek kitchen with all the necessary appliances to make meal preparation a cinch. There is a family bathroom and two bedrooms: one king-size (en-suite) with a Smart TV, and a lovely twin. Outside, you can admire the sea view from your balcony and watch the sunsets with a glass of your favourite tipple.

I am disabled and can only walk a few steps aided by another person so this apartment was perfect as there was only a small lip to enter the shower.

Lovely spot, Very well equipped, warm, clean and comfy. We arrived just at the same time as storm Amy and had wonderful, if windy, walks on the beach, over the headland and round to Kenfig. Some nice local proper pubs too, the Farmers Arms in Nottage up the road is well worth a visa or two and very welcoming and served delicious Italian food.

This is a lovely flat in a fantastic location. What more could you ask for, being able to walk to sea. We had a few niggles which we have highlighted directly to Holiday Cottages/Owner and have rated the accommodation, as we found it, accordingly. Hopefully our comments will help for the stay of future guests because it is certainly worthy of 5 staRead morers and we would definitely consider staying there again. Hide
