Set on the cliff-top near two golden beaches, this luxurious farmhouse apartment offers a magical escape to the Glamorgan Heritage Coast. With breathtaking views over plunging cliffs and secluded coves, this dog-friendly apartment is ideal for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers. While away days birdwatching and fishing on the Ogmore river, exploring sandy coves and walking coastal trails. Then return here to rest and recharge while watching crashing waves from your sofa.

Enter the communal farmhouse building and climb the stairs to this first-floor abode. Step inside to find a light and bright space that seamlessly combines comfort and style. With its neutral decor and large windows overlooking the sea, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner forms the heart of this chic apartment. Styled with striking mosaic tiles and equipped with everything you need to prepare home-cooked treats, the kitchen is a delight to cook in. Then settle around the dining table to savour your creations over a bottle of wine. Get cosy on the large corner sofa, thoughtfully arranged so you can watch TV or simply gaze out at the view. When it’s time to rest your head, get comfy under the covers of the king-size or double bedroom, each with a convenient en-suite shower room. A snug with two adult-sized bunk beds provides additional sleeping space for larger groups.

While this apartment doesn’t have any private outdoor space, it’s set on a small complex of three properties, which share access to an onsite bar and cafe, and a garden with picnic tables. From here you can pick up the 14-mile heritage coast path stretching between Aberthaw and Porthcrawl, or venture north to the expansive golden sands and rock pools at Ogmore-by-Sea (1 mile). Observe wading birds where the river meets the sea, or see if you can catch your dinner at this popular angling spot. Ten miles inland, the market town of Cowbridge boasts a selection of independent shops and eateries.

Location and cleanliness were great but the overall standard fell well below what we expected for a property marketed and priced as luxury accommodation. Despite raising several issues during our stay, none were rectified, which was particularly disappointing given the cost. The third bedroom is just a cupboard with bunk beds in (with no safety rRead moreail, no door and nowhere to store clothes). On arrive there was only one coffee pod and no tea bags and no more were provided when requested. The kitchen is very small and not appropriately equipped - only 5 mugs for a 6person property, not enough dishwasher tablets, no cupboard space to store food and a broken fridge shelf in an already small fridge with tiny iced up freezer compartment. There were multiple maintenance faults broken bathroom sink plug, faulty skylight blind, broken fan cover (potentially unsafe), broken window catch, and a broken bedroom door latch. There was 1 game (which had a dice missing) and 1 jigsaw (which came with a note saying around 30 pieces were missing). Individually these might be minor, but together they created a sense of a property that isnt being properly maintained or checked between guests and even when these issues were raised, both during our stay and afterwards via email, there was no attempt to resolve them. For the premium price point, this was simply not acceptable.With better upkeep and attention to detail, Tusker could be excellent but based on our experience, it did not meet the standard advertised.

An amazing location overlooking the sea and the coastal path. There is a cafe underneath the apartment but this did not bother us and it did not stay open past about 5 at the latest - also very useful for breakfast! Would recommend the apartment but would note that the 'bunkroom' is bunk beds built into the wall on the landing and if you are not aRead more family, it's a bit awkward going into the other bedrooms to the bathroom as they are both ensuite.

Couldn't fault the location which allowed us to witness stunning sunsets and meant easy access to the walks along the coastline. Flat felt very homely and allowed us to relax and feel refreshed. Coffee shop underneath didnt impact on our stay despite being busy when open. Would definitely recommend for those wanting to unwind

We had a fabulous stay, we had everything we needed for 3 nights, the cafe downstairs was very handy. The walk to the castle ruins and beach was fabulous. I hope to return soon!

The apartment is directly above the cafe and the entrance to the apartment is along the rear cafe corridor where customer toilets and office are located. The apartment is very good and a great location for The Glamorgan Heritage Trail for walking.

Tusker is a lovely rustic yet contemporary flat that was perfect for our little family celebration. Stunning location on the cliff and easy to find. Beds and accommodation really comfortable. Very secure entry system and felt totally at ease.
