Seaside bungalow overlooking dunes

A homely bungalow overlooking Merthyr Mawr sand dunes in South Wales. It is in a beautiful and quiet location with great views across the Bristol Channel. The beach is a 15 minute amble through a nature reserve, where you will find a gorgeous beach with sand, rock pools and not many people. Great for families, the bungalow has a lovely retro feel that puts you at ease. Sleeps 5. It is 10 minutes drive from Porthcawl and 30 minutes from Cardiff.

Rural getaway
This property can allow you to have a break away from all the modern electronics that we have today. It gave me a feeling of being back in the 70’s, but it is a comfortable bungalow with an excellent view. The countryside provides for some excellent walking amongst sand dunes and along the seashore. The local natives are very friendly

Peace and quiet, just what we wanted.
We stayed here the year before last and it was just as quiet. The weather was vile which was no suprise but the cottage was warm and very comfortable. The picture window in the sitting room lets you see what the elements are throwing at the Welsh coast whilst snug as a bug. The cottage is not luxurious but every thing we needed was there and all works. For the price we love it. My only problem is that to get from the car to the property you have to walk up a grass frontage, not a drama in nice weather, but it has been tipping down for i would guess, weeks and the grass was very treacherous and any one who has mobility issues would be advised to think about renting. Shame. Over all very happy with our stay. Thank you for having us.

Lovely break
The accommodation has everything you need. It could be seen as little outdated in areas, but for us it was charming and a tad retro. The weather wasn't very good during our stay, but the house was clean, warm and cosy and we felt very comfortable. The view from the living room is beautiful, there was even a stag outside the house one afternoon! The location is great and just a 10 minute walk to the most beautiful beach.

Wonderful New Year retreat
We stayed for 5 nights over New Year’s Eve and the property was super cosy and warm! Stunning view from the lounge, kitchen and master bedroom and we managed to see one sunrise on the beach which was spectacular. Also saw 3 deer in the massive dunes at Merthyr Mawr. Our kids, 12 & 13 and us really loved lounging on the plush sofas watching the great dvd collection and tv channels as well as gazing out of the huge window to watch the kitesurfers with the binoculars. Return to London super relaxed. Many thanks for everything.

Fabulous views quirky cottage
We loved our stay here. The fabulous location and views more than make up for the little bits that need repairing or updating. We will return again and again hopefully. The drains need looking at though due to bad smell when taps run. Curtains need rehooking, bathroom hot tap dripping. Outside light broken, and is needs repairing as no street lights after dark. Could do with knowing there is no back garden though,as we had our dogs with us. Did message owner on arrival over something, but never received a reply but pre arriving, comms were very good. Fantastic views and quirky,basic facilities, but our favourite welsh holiday ever .

Scenery and surroundings
We had a great stay. The walk to the beach was through paths of greenery and sand dunes. Walked the beaches every day, had the experience of walking through the estuary in shallow water to Ogmore-in-sea, which is a fantastic place for walkers. Porthcawl was good for entertainment and shopping

Breathtaking views
We knew from other reviews that we were going to stay in a bungalow that offered comfort not mod cons. I like to use the word ‘vintage’ we loved our little home for the week. Anyone with mobility issues this isn’t for you. The bungalow is at the end of a road full of potholes up a hill. Once there the view really is amazing. We were visited by deer and a peacock that wandered about from the woods behind us. To get to the beach, you head down the path for a couple of minutes and on the right is a sign, pathway. Head down there, it forks off, left jump down into a Sandy path or right follow the path through the woods, both take you to the sand dunes, walk a bit further and you are on the beach. Fantastic for dogs and just getting away from it all! We went surfing school in Porthcawl, get lunch there too! We went to Barrie island ( very commercial) and took our paddle boards. we went to Brecon and did the four waterfall trail. We also went to do the zip wire in Brecon. Absolutely amazing week away, we also were lucky enough to have hot weather! Steve is a great host, was really helpful! His neighbor called Warren was also very nice. Would I go back again? DEFINITELY! We absolutely had a fab week away. Thanks so much Steve, will be back soon!

Great quiet break.
Mr Williams was very helpful with directions and other information. The bungalow is extremely comfortable. We have stayed at many a lovely property all over the U.K only to be let down by nice looking but uncomfortable furniture. Not in this destination. We were very pleased with the size of the accommodation and the splendid views. Where we were most happy was after a nice long walk on the beech the warm living room with big picture window and huge seating unit gave us the perfect place to relax. We have stayed at more luxurious (and expensive) accommodation but can find no fault with what is on offer; and would holiday there again in a heartbeat. Thank you.
