Property code: OC-93652

This luxurious second-floor apartment, located in the award winning ‘Links’ development in Rest Bay, Porthcawl, is a great destination for solo travellers, golf-enthusiasts, couples and small families who love to get active outdoors. Get wet and wild at the beach with surfing lessons (surf boards and kayak hire available from the local Porthcawl surf school). Bring your bikes and enjoy trails, including a seafront cycle route taking in local attractions – Grand Pavilion, Trecco Bay funfair, the harbour and the lighthouse. The beautiful sand dunes of Kenfig Nature Reserve (4 miles) are home to Glamorgan’s largest natural lake and offer spectacular views across Swansea Bay. Practise your swing at the Royal Porthcawl Golf Club located right next door.

Enjoy the experience of a luxury holiday from the moment you pull up to the electric gates. Enter into the central courtyard for the main entrance to the building. Take the lift to this stylish, contemporary apartment styled with colours inspired by the sea. Step inside the hallway, slipping off your coat and shoes to benefit from the cosy underfloor heating beneath your feet, as you step through into the main open-plan living area. The lounge/kitchen/diner has a bright and spacious feel and is a lovely spot to relax after a day of adventures. Curl up on the sofa or the love seat to enjoy a movie on the Smart TV; soak up the sea air with a good book; or choose from a few board games. Cook a tasty meal in the sleek kitchen and enjoy it together at the dining table. Back through into the hall, you will find plenty of storage for your beach things, as well as a washer-dryer. The twin and the master bedrooms are fitted with wardrobes and offer courtyard views and a tranquil environment to recharge your batteries. The master bedroom also benefits from a Smart TV and en-suite shower room. The family bathroom with bathtub and overhead shower completes the property’s interior.

Outside, you can admire the sea-view or the Grade II-listed building, while relaxing on your private balcony with a fresh brew from the coffee machine or a glass of your favourite tipple. The central courtyard has a bike shelter and a path where you can take the kids and dogs directly on to the beach or access the golf course and the Wales Coast Path. Rest Bay Cafe is also a stone’s throw away from the development.

I am disabled and can only walk a few steps aided by another person so this apartment was perfect as there was only a small lip to enter the shower.

Lovely spot, Very well equipped, warm, clean and comfy. We arrived just at the same time as storm Amy and had wonderful, if windy, walks on the beach, over the headland and round to Kenfig. Some nice local proper pubs too, the Farmers Arms in Nottage up the road is well worth a visa or two and very welcoming and served delicious Italian food.

This is a lovely flat in a fantastic location. What more could you ask for, being able to walk to sea. We had a few niggles which we have highlighted directly to Holiday Cottages/Owner and have rated the accommodation, as we found it, accordingly. Hopefully our comments will help for the stay of future guests because it is certainly worthy of 5 staRead morers and we would definitely consider staying there again. Hide
