Tucked away between the orchards and forests just outside Porthcawl, this peaceful detached cottage sleeps two people in one bedroom, making it the ideal accommodation option for a romantic couple in search of a tranquil retreat to call home while they explore the beautiful south Wales coastline. Spend wonderful days strolling the sublime sand dunes at Merthyr Mawr, and contented evenings sipping wine and watching the stars come out in the cottage’s pretty garden.
Sitting within its own grounds and next door to the owner’s property, this inviting cottage is the perfect place to relax and unwind with your loved one. Step inside and take a moment to make yourself at home in the welcoming lounge. When it’s time for dinner, cook up a romantic meal for two in the stylish kitchen and share an intimate meal at the dining table. After dinner, head out to the garden and crack open a bottle of something cool and crisp, or make your way to the lounge to snuggle up in front of the Smart TV. When the day is done, there’s a cosy, country-style bedroom to retire to.
Pack up a picnic and treat yourself to a romantic alfresco lunch at Rest Bay Beach (2.5 miles). If you’re feeling energetic, this is also a great spot for surfing, canoeing and kite-surfing. Newton beach is close by with its year round dog friendly beach. Alternatively, shop to your heart’s content for big-name brands at the designer outlet in Bridgend (7 miles). Afterwards, check out the artwork at the town’s Carnegie House Arts Centre or explore its Norman Coity Castle. Or grab your hiking boots and take a stroll along the pretty River Garw at Bryngarw Country Park (8.5 miles).
