  • Beautifully converted stable and blacksmith's forge on the beautiful Glamorgan Heritage Coast
  • Hot tub and garden that enjoys spectacular sea views over Southerndown Beach (Dunraven Bay)
  • Superb family-friendly holiday accommodation with nautical outdoor play equipment and garden games
Property code: 85376

This contemporary, sea view, barn conversion on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast offers a fire pit and hot tub for adults and wooden play apparatus for the kids.

Ticking a variety of boxes for man and dog alike, this characterful South Wales property is the perfect place to stay for your next getaway. Whether you’re intending to relax indoors, spend time in the gardens or enjoy every waking hour sniffing out adventure along the coast and in the countryside, this charming accommodation offers you an instant home from home. Dog lovers, you’ll be pleased to find that one canine companion is welcome to join you on this retreat, with plenty of outdoor space and a washing machine and tumble dryer on-hand for those sandy dog towels.

 

Truly unique with a converted barn interior and bright pops of colour, the old stable has been thoughtfully updated with your family in mind. Your pup will adore having its entire pack together in the open-plan living area on the first floor, no doubt dragging their dog bed to a prize position by the wood burner. Everyone can enjoy the cosy feel of the place on an evening, whether that’s in the lounge or in the adjacent snug with an arm chair. Two bedrooms are on the ground floor, the first is a twin with a double bed and one single and the second is a versatile family bedroom accessible from the garden. The enclosed garden itself is a pleasant space for your pet to explore, complete with a hot tub and fire pit for the humans in the pack!

 

Southerndown Beach (with seasonal dog restrictions) sits just 0.5 miles away, and you only have to venture a little further to find the entirely dog-friendly shores of Temple Bay (1 mile). Let Rover play fetch in the sand and splash in the sea before following the dramatic coastline along a scenic route. Jump in the car to discover much more to write home about, including the tree-lined walkies routes at Afan Forest Park (20 miles).
