Amazing property
Very spacious property, very close to town, 5 mins walk to the beach front. Only down side is parking but you can. Unload and load at the property, if you hold a blue badge you’re ok to park.

Comfortable stay in good location
Overall we were pleased with this rental. The location is excellent for accessing restaurants and other services in Porthcawl … an easy walk down to the shoreline and beyond. The unit was very clean and reasonably spacious. There are a lot of stairs, no problem for us but if anyone had a mobility issue this might be a challenge. We used two of the four bedrooms, other bedrooms were locked so would not have been good if we had needed a third bedroom in the event someone was unwell. We found the recycling/garbage directions a bit confusing or unclear. Further, the unit advertised having a laundry machine, but we never found it and the owner did not respond to my inquiry. There are two good bathrooms, both side-by-side on the main level but not close to the upstairs bedrooms, again a small inconvenience. Parking is available on all the adjacent streets, but sometimes involved a bit of circling the area to find a spot, but that would be the same for most rentals in the inner core. Beds were reasonably good and living room furniture was comfortable. All in all an acceptable rental.

The place was clean and had beautiful decor. It was exactly as it was described. It was in a very convenient place for the beachfront, restaurants and grocery store. It was great value for the money.

Beautiful apartment
Since we used this apartment last year, it has been redecorated, even though it was lovely the first time! Alexlouise provided a good travel cot and suitable toys and games for the children. She has also modernised the lighting. Would definitely book again. Highly recommended.

Great place
The photographs do not do this place the justice it deserves. It kept very clean and to a high standard. The cupboards have pretty much everything you need. There were milk, biscuits, tea, coffee sugar and a cupboard full of condiments. There is a large co-op about 2 minutes away on foot. There is plenty of on street parking available all day and evening. Lovely warm house what more can you ask for.

Perfect place and location
The accommodation and location was perfect. There were only 2 of us but could see how the flat would easily accommodate more people. Pictures didn’t do the place justice, the flat was gorgeous and super comfortable. Communication with host was spot on, and they were super responsive. Would recommend without hesitation and will stay again

Highly recommend. Spotlessly clean. Brilliantly situated for all amenities and beach. Great communication with owner. Many little touches i.e. flowers, chocolates and biscuits were left for us on arrival. Extremely roomy. Very comfortable beds.

Super find, perfect flat
We were a group of friends looking for somewhere comfortable while we cycled around South Wales. The flat was perfect for us - spacious, nicely decorated, clean, well equipped. Check in and access was super easy and the neighbours were friendly! Hope to be back.

Well located, clean, spacious
Very nice accommodation split over 2 floors. All rooms a good size and clean. Handy location so can walk to most things in town and the beach (would drive to Rest Bay). Supermarket just around the corner. Street parking. Perfect for our 4 night stay.

Perfect place for exploring Porthcawl
We stayed here over Christmas and found the apartment to be very welcoming. The furnishings and decor made it really comfortable and it had all the amenities we needed. All rooms were spotlessly clean and well maintained and communication with the owner was very easy. The property is very close to Porthcawl town centre and a very short and easy walk to the seafront. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday here and hope to visit again in 2019.

Porthcawl holiday
Set on two upper levels accessed via a side entrance, the property is spacious and well laid out, two modern bathrooms and a great kitchen area, a good size double bedroom and comfortable living room on the first floor while two more good size bedrooms are available up a second flight of stairs. Shops are within a few minutes walk as are bars and the sea front made for an enjoyable week, the only snag is parking nearby, not a huge issue but I guess that it is to be expected in a popular area of the town, would certainly recommend to friends and family as we had a great week of weather to enjoy our time here.

Fantastic, homely and very clean
Lovely place to stay and owners very approachable and reply very quick. Rooms are very clean and nicely decorated. No faults at all but if I had to say something it would be that I was expecting parking on the street, outside the house. We had to park two streets away. It was a superb place though. Coop a couple of mins walk away, can walk to the beach. I would thoroughly recommend this place with no hesitation.
