About this property

Self Catering holiday let 3 Bedroom Bungalow Close to the Beach, all Amenities.

3 bed bungalow 500 yards from the beach.

Secure rear yard with laneway access. Ideal for pets.

Walkers and Cyclists are all welcome.

And if you are an avid cook, try out the Fully Fitted modern Kitchen installed 2025.

Situated just off the M4 in south WALES between Swansea and Cardiff it is the ideal location to explore the south Wales valleys. It has a coastline of approx 5 miles with beautiful sandy beaches and a rocky beach at Southerndown.

Its beaches are famous for surfing, wind surfing and skateboarding. The beach at Porthcawl retains traditional seaside charms such as donkey rides and a funfair whist the promenade hosts many ice-cream parlors and coffee shops. Porthcawl is steeped in local history and the Museum and Historical Society has many fascinating exhibitions and information on the area. It’s located on JOHN STREET, the main throughfair of Porthcawl.

Porthcawl is home to the Annual Elvis and Rockabilly festivals.

There are many beautiful walks about the area, not least the WELLS WALK. Well worth the effort. Golfers will love the area with many courses to choose from, not least the ROYAL PORTHCAWL. Surfers can be seen on the beach at Porthcawl and on the famous REST BAY at the opposite end of the promenade from the house. Porthcawl has a lot to offer, far more than I can include here so I draw your attention to the excellent description on the BRIDGEND BOROUGH COUNCIL web site and the TOURIST INFORMATION SITE

Family holiday

It was our second year at this property and it didn't disappoint. It's proximity to Coney Beach and the Fair and Arcade is perfect for the family. With a fully furnished and equipped property with off street parking it's a great place to stay in South Wales.

So close to the beach

I think it is fair to say that the property could do with a bit of TLC to update it a bit, but it had everything we needed. My 5 yr old and 7 yr old boys loved it and we were lucky enough to spend every day at the beach. It was a perfect location for us and once we had parked up we didn't need to use the car again as town and the park is such a short walk.

Nice beach adjacent alternative to a caravan

While this bungalow is a bit rough around the edges and by no means a high end rental, it does represent good value for its size and proximity to the fair/beach. More ideally suited as a base rather than somewhere to spend all your time at but it was perfect for us as we were coming 'back home' to visit family. With a bit of effort from the owners the back yard could be somewhere really nice to while away the evenings but currently it looks a bit depressing and unwelcoming.

Porthcawl

The location of this property was perfect for us. We parked on the drive and only used the car a few times. We walked from the property to the local Aldi and to the town centre. At the end of the road is a beautiful sandy beach, the best we found actually, there were lifeguards at the time of our visit. It was perfect for playing or surfing. The bungalow itself was clean and spacious for us, it had everything you would need including a washing machine and dryer. Some of the exterior steps are uneven and it is quite a climb up the ramp at the front, so probably not good for anyone with mobility issues. Coney beach is almost opposite and i found the music quite soothing, it was nice to have the background noise in the garden, it was very quiet otherwise! We all slept well. Malcolm was on call if we needed him and Dave was only an email away. I would definitely visit again, fantastic location for my family

Great location.

We were greeted warmly by Malcom who looks after the property. He was very friendly snd really helpful as was the actual host Dave by email before snd during our stay. The property is in a Grady location just a couple of minutes walk to the beach. It is right next to the fair so you can hear the music but once inside would not know it was there. All the neighbours were also friendly and made us feel very welcome. We used it as a base as we were visiting with my dad who was born in Porthcawl. The location is perfect walking distance to several beaches, the town and easy drive to Newton and Nottage. Great also for exploring further a field. The bungalow was clean and well supplied with all we needed including a washing machine which is essential when you have children and are at the beach. A great place to stay, we would definitely return.

Close to Beach

Although some refurbishment would help, overall we found the property good for taking children to. It is close to the beach and is fairly well equipped. The steps to the property are quite steep, so it is a bungalow but it would not be suitable for anyone with poor mobility. There is a washing machine and separate tumble drier and thoughtful things like a windbreak, buckets and spade were available to use.

Bungalow very practical being close to beach and amenities - especially fun fair-and had quite adequate accommodation. Downside was low standard of cleanliness and under developed space at back. We understand that work will be done in Autumn 2021.

Stay in Porthcawl

Property was clean and had all the facilities that we needed for our stay. Outside space was limited but the beach was only meters away. I grew up in Porthcawl so was there to visit family and this was a good base to do that. As always the surfing and surf school in rest bay were great.

Good base to explore Porthcawl & Gower

This property is adequate for a family of 4 with teenagers, with sufficient essentials and reasonable living space. In need of some TLC & updating in parts (especially Back yard). Close proximity to beachfront, arcades and funfair - short walk to quieter end & would recommend exploring further round coast: Great sunset point on way to lovely Rest Bay: A good 8mile walk to Ogmore-by-sea. We ventured out daily & recommend going to beautiful scenery and beaches at Rhosili,Oxwich, Mumbles, Swansea bay & further to the Blue Lagoon.

Pleasant bungalow

Well equipped bungalow with plenty of space. Location perfect but a little noisy from the funfair opposite, however this closed at a reasonable hour so not too bad.

Very nice bungalow in Porthcawl.

The property is very well equipped for a family, plenty of linen, crockery etc. Managing agent very helpful, awaiting our arrival & if any problems throughout the holiday, was a phone call away. Situated 5 minutes walk from beautiful beach ideal for bucket & spade holidays. Porthcawl itself just 20 minutes stroll, plenty of fooderies & pubs. Elvis weekend was quite an experience,enjoyed every moment.

Really nice property, Deceptively large inside. within 5 mins of a stunning beach and a fair right outside but the double glazing keeps the property nice and quite. Owner was really welcoming and showed us round and how all things worked. Great weekend and will be booking again.
