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.

It was a deceptive house from the front. Very roomy. Comfortable beds. Plenty of room to spread out. Fantastic views from the lounge and garden over the sea. Just be careful of the wooden stairs and the two rocking chairs as they tip easily. Would recommend the house and it's location.
