Overview
Property code: 87141

This quirky beach house with lots of character in the lovely village of Ogmore-by-Sea is a great place for families and groups to get together and enjoy the beach life.

Perched on a hill in the lovely village of Ogmore-by-Sea, this quirky beach house offers sea views and an abundance of charm. Staggered down the hillside, this split-level property provides ample accommodation for up to eight guests and welcomes three beloved pups. After relaxing days exploring the golden beach, ancient castle and picturesque walking routes on your doorstep, this cottage makes the perfect coastal base for families and groups of friends.

Deceptively spacious from the front, this multi-level property has been thoughtfully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. With two kitchens on different floors, the layout is perfect should you wish to cook and dine together or spread out and enjoy a little quiet time. The colourful top kitchen offers mesmerising sea views along with a breakfast bar and a family dining table, while the lower kitchen is ideal for preparing al fresco meals to be enjoyed on the patio in the back garden. There’s plenty of room to socialise or relax in comfort, with a lounge on the lower ground floor along with a bright summer room and a selection of seating in the large garden. A fire pit and BBQ invite warm evenings outside, while the children and dogs play safely on the lawn. Three double bedrooms and a room with adult-sized bunk beds spread across the property ensure a tranquil night’s sleep, while three bathrooms mean that everybody can refresh with ease.

A true gem of the Glamorgan Heritage Coast, Ogmore-by-Sea has a sweeping golden beach with fertile rock pools to discover. Go fossil hunting on the beach amid craggy rocks, or wander amongst the sand dunes to explore the haunted ruins of a Norman castle. The area is rich in wildlife, with coastal walking routes designed to highlight its unique geology.

Location is excellent. House is as shown in photos however important note, the stairs on this property are open, both treads and on bannisters plus bare wood. I felt that they were extremely dangerous, especially for dogs and small children. The cleanliness of the property could be better, on the surface good, but not deep cleaned!

Excellent accommodation (we were three generations so the accommodation being spread over three levels meant that children's play and TV watching could be separated from parents' (and esp grandparents') R&R.

Our family all loved this property. The brochure description was accurate but the spaciousness of the accommodation and parking, and the amount of sea view, far exceeded expectation. The house has a lovely atmosphere. The location is excellent for the beach, the shop and P.O and the two cafes. We would most definitely stay again.

This is a great place to stay to chill out by the beach and take long walks with the dogs. It is a spacious comfortable cottage which is well-equipped. Only a few minutes down the hill & you are on the coastal path and beach. There is a handy local shop & a fish & chip restaurant only 2 minutes walk away too.

Fantastic property in a brilliant location! The split levels was great for getting space when needed an the lower level was great for movie nights. If you have a dog, the enclosed garden is big enough for them to burn off energy with a game. Though walking down the cliffs to the beach should burn a lot of that energy!

Thoroughly enjoyable holiday. This was our annual three friends holiday so we had a bedroom and bathroom each. Fabulous! The upstairs kitchen was better equipped than mine at home.

A very well equipped and comfortable property within walking distance of the seafront and beaches. A small but well stocked local shop and a cafe serving a range of meals throughout the day are also close by. In high season, the off road parking is likely to be essential. Walks along the coastal path easily accessible.
