About this property
Kenfig Farm is a secluded three-bedroomed holiday home forming part of a 17th century farmhouse (with 20th century extension) in Ton Kenfig, near Porthcawl, with charming interiors, off-road parking for up to four cars, and an enclosed grassed area enjoying scenic lake and countryside views. With unique views directly over Kenfig Pool and the Nature Reserve, and beyond to Swansea Bay and the Gower Peninsula, this property boasts an original inglenook fireplace with a wood-burner and several lime-washed walls. The beamed sitting room has a sofa, large dining table and Smart TV. Games are available for guests to use. A spacious study, just off the sitting room, provides a quiet area after a day on the beach, with a door leading to the outside flag-stoned patio area. The farmhouse also boasts a well-equipped kitchen and dining area. There is a downstairs shower room and toilet, while upstairs there is a bathroom and three good-sized bedrooms - one double, one twin and one single. The property is well placed for visits to a number of other popular attractions, including the surrounding National Nature Reserve, Margam Park, the ruins of the ancient monastery and Abbey Church are of historic interest, as is the Margam Stones Museum which has a collection of early Christian crosses. Wiggleys Fun Farm offers an all-weather fun experience for children. Towards Cardiff, St Fagans National Museum of History has a collection of historic Welsh buildings from all over Wales relocated in beautiful parkland. The beautiful Glamorgan Heritage Coast between Ogmore by Sea and Llantwit Major offers breathtaking cliff walks; the nearby Ogmore Castle and stepping stones are also worth a visit. Visit Kenfig for a wonderful stay in Wales.
North Cornelly is one half of Cornelly, bisected by the A48 and M4, creating North and South Cornelly villages, offering a variety of shops, pubs and eating places. North Cornelly is perfectly situated to enjoy the nearby Nature Reserve with its sand dunes concealing the historic walled town of Kenfig, close to the Glamorgan Heritage Coast, the beautiful Gower Peninsula and even the Brecon Beacons. The days out in this region can be so varied, with a short drive or train ride to the Welsh capital city of Cardiff for the shopaholics, sport enthusiasts or theatre buffs, walks and cycle rides from the doorstep or a trip to the seaside resort of Porthcawl with its promenade and funfair. A great location all year round.

The farmhouse was very clean and all you needed. Just myself and my dog went and he loved the garden. Wish we could have stayed longer. The beaches are so wonderful. The log burner at night. Next time I will bring my family

Neville was very helpful on the phone with directions. The farm itself is perfect with everything you could need. Plenty of instructions so that working out the heating, oven etc was easy! Comfortable beds, nice facilities and plenty of crockery/glasses and space. Thank you for a great stay and we will book again I'm sure.
