The chip shop is a must and proximity to the beach is great. We really enjoyed the property and the town, thanks Tim, I suspect we'll be back. ##### michael o. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Miranda S. Jul 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay! Clean and comfortable home with everything you need to have an enjoyable stay. Tim is super responsive and an all around great guy. There is an Aldie in town for groceries and should you need anything else there is a small convenience store close by. As Americans, we appreciated having a coffee maker as well. We had a car, but enjoyed walking along the water to and from town, the beach and the golf course. We visited in July and found this to be a quiet location during our visit. Thanks for a great stay! ##### Miranda S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave J.

The house is really tastefully finished, very comfortable and in a quiet area, close to Porthcawl. Would highly recommend and would definitely re book. ##### Dave J.
