The hosts are friendly and helpful, without being intrusive, and clearly care about the experience they are providing. The location is perfect for coastal walking, the local pub was also great and the new hot tub all added to a brilliant break.

Warm and cosy. Supplied with everything we needed. Nice location, with the pub very handy.and a short journey into Bridgend for supermarket shopping. The owners were very helpful and thoughtful, but not intrusive. The dog had a wonderful time too...We did intend to try the coffee shop on site which looked very inviting but never quite made it. Next time maybe..
