What our customers say about their holidays

  The house is very well equipped and is large and airy. We visited during the hottest week of the year so far but the downstairs remained cool and we could sit comfortably in the lounge with the door to the garden open. Our puppy was free to pop in and out whenever she wanted as the lovely garden is fully enclosed. Upstairs again was large and airy and the king size bed very comfy. The fan provided was reasonably quiet and in conjunction with some open windows managed to keep the temperature down at night. Self-catering was easily achieved at the house with a very good range of kitchen equipment available, the local Aldi was excellent and provided all the groceries we needed. The location was superb being only a few minutes walk from the beach at Rest Bay. We spent most days walking in the dunes at Kenfig Nature Reserve, a ten minute drive away, or at Merthyr Mawr Nature Reserve which can be accessed from Newton Beach car park from the west or the reserve car park, a 20 minute drive to the east. Dog-friendly beaches can be reached easily from both reserves and the wildlife and flora at both are incredible. We thought the village of Nottage was lovely with three very nice pubs. Overall, it was a fabulous stay and we look forward to coming back to explore more of the area.

  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!!

  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.

  We have just come back from a wonderful holiday staying in this amazing house. The house was really big and spacious. My 2 teenagers loved their rooms and Sheila, the owner was so thoughtful with all the extra bits eg. a box with forgotten items, plus milk and Welsh cakes along with 2 folders of useful information and leaflets on the local area. The house is set in a lovely area with a very short walk to the lovely Rest Bay beach, where we did paddle boarding, surfing and body boarding. Plus we hired out bikes and went for lovely coastal walks. The other end of town - all walking distance - has amusements, rides and pubs with really great singers, plus another sandy beach. There's also various pubs to walk to for meals out etc. Plenty of things to do and visit in the area also.

  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.
