  We stayed for 1 week over the may half term.

  Cobweb corner is a cute little cottage full of character and charm! Tony who owns it lives in the larger adjoining cottage door with his lovely dog Otto. Tony was so friendly and accommodating and was so good (as was otto) with our daughter. He is full of local knowledge, places to visit, pubs to eat at etc. Our daughter loved the attic play room and having a quiet hide away space to chill out in. Beds were comfy and we slept so well after long days on the beach. Full digital TV package to catch up on programmes or chill out with a film night. Never ran out of hot water with us all showering every night to get rid of the sand. There's no oven but a clean and easy to use air fryer, electric touch hob and microwave was fine to cook a variety of meals! A shop next door (expensive) but very useful for grabbing essentials or a bottle of wine and only a 10 minute stroll to the local beach which is beautiful. If there's anything you need just ask Tony and he'll help or point you in the right direction! We have previously stayed at Trecco bay caravan site (round the corner) but much preferred Cob Webb corner for a more chilled out and relaxed holiday away from the hustle and bustle of it all!!

  Beautifully decorated Barn - to a very high standard. Nice rooms, bathrooms and communal spaces comfortably seating us eight. We were a mixed group of adults and kids. My son enjoyed the quirky little stairway behind the chimney leading upstairs. Everything that we could think of was there. Including hair dryer, iron, washing machine and dryer. The TVs and lounges were great - with comfortable sofas. Kitchen was well equipped and also done to a high standard. A large 7 burner hob!!! Lots of little nice touches throughout with the lamps, candles etc. There is a nespresso machine! Would have been good to know before so i could have brought some pods. Good quality dishes - in short it's built and equipped for a family to live in - rather than just as a rental. Good location - close to the beach. The bathrooms were very nicely done, with nice bathtubs and spacious open showers. We had good internet connectivity. We really enjoyed the whole stay and the setup made it very magical.

  Cobweb Corner – a great name for a really great little holiday cottage!

  ! Nestled right in the heart of Newton village we spent 5 lovely days in this warm cosy cottage that was full of character and ‘olde-worlde’ charm. Tony made us feel really welcome when we arrived, gave us all the information we needed, showed us round, and was on hand just next door if we wanted anything. The bed was really comfy, nice bathroom, cosy lounge, seating indoors and out, and very tidy, just what we wanted. Location is incredible, only 2 minutes’ walk to the village green, church, pub, and places of interest, and 5 minutes from the wonderful beach. Tony shared all his local knowledge, gave fantastic insights into the 400-year history of the cottage, and added some thoughtful little touches to our stay. Great holiday, thanks Tony From Paul, Jackie & Cokie the pug.

  Old Norton Cottage was cosy, well equipped with an excellent, modern bathroom and comfortable bed. Although the enclosed garden was not guaranteed dog-proof we found it was fine for a small dog to be loose there under supervision which is always very helpful when travelling with pets. The cottage was also cool inside during the hotter days with the option of sitting outside in the lovely garden when we wanted to sit in the sunshine. The cottage is tucked away in the quiet village which is ideal for relaxing at the end of a busy day. But we also enjoyed being within walking distance to amenities such as shops and pubs as well as the town of Porthcawl. Having the coastal path within easy reach on foot for morning walks was a real treat.

  Wow! what a beautiful property. The owner was very helpful and showed he cared not just about the property but about his guests. We were blown away at how beautiful the cottage was and particularly blown away on how much thought had gone into not only the restoration of the cottage in the first place but about every individual item that was perfectly placed to make it a traditional welsh cottage. Everything was clean. The bed was comfy and the bedroom well set up. The bathroom was lovely with everything you want. Garden was beautiful and just right to sit out in the mornings and watch the birds. Will definately visit again when we next decide to go to South Wales.
