Claire
The accomadation is well kept, comfortable and has everything we need. The location is amazing with the beach on your doorstep and plenty of lovely coastal walks. The town of Porthcawl is only a short walk and has a lovely harbour area and plenty of places to eat, drink and shop. Our 10 year old is also very glad of how close the house is to the arcades and fair

Great location close to beaches and shops. Clean and welcoming when we arrived with milk, bacon, bread, butter etc. provided and nice addition of bath robes and slippers. Secure garden for our dog who loved the beaches at Rest Bay and Newton which are dog friendly (although people were taking dogs on Sandy Beach and Trecco Bay we mainly stuck to the rules except on last day we tried the edge of Sandy Bay early in the day as was too hot to walk too far for the dog). Lovely garden furniture to sit outside both front and back. Was a damp smell in main bedroom which I think is caused by the above flat, as when they empty (I assume) the bath the water comes out all over the graveled area outside the patio doors not all down the drain leaving the area very wet. Also the flat above does cause a lot of noise as can hear footsteps all the time and their washing machine made the lights rattle in the living area.
