Garden with outdoor furniture and BBQ. 42-acre grounds. Hot tub for 4 (private). Private parking for 4 cars. No smoking.. Bay Cottage is set in the grounds of Coytrahen House, an 18th-century landscaped park with a Georgian country house. The park is mostly woodland and offers 42 acres to explore. Bay Cottage is detached and sits just behind the main country house. The cottage has a modern feel with a touch of country style and the luxury finish throughout makes for a comfortable and relaxing place to stay.
Accommodating up to four guests, there are two good-sized bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms. The open plan living accommodation boasts two living areas, a dining space and a fully equipped kitchen. The living areas have been set up to make the most of the property, one area to sit back relax in and enjoy views of the countryside, the other with a Smart TV to chill out to, perfect to enjoy a movie night after a day exploring. The dining area is central as you enter the cottage, a perfect space for getting together in to enjoy a meal, socialise, or play some board games. The country-style kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay, including full cooking facilities, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and coffee machine. Outside, the cottage sits on a 42-acre plot of mostly woodland; feel free to get out and explore this gorgeous countryside. Keep an eye out for the goats too – you may see them bouncing on their trampoline! What makes this property truly relaxing is the outdoor area, there is a patio area with BBQ, and outdoor seating as well as a four person hot tub.
The 42-acre plot is based in Coytrahen, Bridgend; you’ll find a local pub in the village, and more in neighbouring towns and villages around the borough. Bridgend County Borough has lots to explore, including historical sites, country parks and the heritage coast, a designer shopping outlet and some fantastic independent restaurants around the county. So whether you fancy a day at the beach, or want to indulge in some local history, or even a day of retail therapy followed by some quality dining, it’s all there to enjoy.
If you want to see more of South Wales Bay Cottage is a great base… road access for South Wales is good, with the M4 motorway a short drive away. Head west for Swansea and the famous Gower Peninsula Area Of National Beauty or Pembrokeshire coast. Or a short drive east will get you to Cardiff, Wales’ capital city. Cardiff is home to all kinds of events year round, including international sports, musical superstars, and much more! Within an hour’s drive you could also find yourself in the famous Welsh valleys, where you’ll find waterfall walks (where some famous movie scenes have been filmed), or the Brecon Beacons at the foot of the tallest peak in South Wales, Penyfan.
