Undisturbed and truly peaceful, this rural Welsh cottage offers the perfect spot to get away from it all and spend some quality time together. Benefiting from far-reaching sea views and countryside vistas, this reverse-level accommodation for six offers delectable scenery that will ‘wow’ you each and every day. Despite its rural location, the holiday home has a nearby pub and beach, and offers an equidistant drive between the bustling cities of Cardiff (24 miles) and Swansea (25 miles) – ideal for those who want to enjoy a bit of both city and country throughout the duration of their stay.

Step inside this pretty property to instantly find yourselves in the accommodation's sleeping quarters. Offering two cosy doubles and one pleasant twin, these rooms are on hand to offer an unbeatable night's sleep for all. Follow on through to the first floor to find the remainder of the property's offering. Set beneath skylights and generous windows, the open-plan living space offers a calming spot to spend an afternoon or evening. Stoke a fire in the wood burner on cooler nights and sink into comfortable seating. Here you can switch on the Smart TV and enjoy a Blu-ray DVD, or perhaps fill the room with music from the CD player as you get cooking.

Along with a small, enclosed lawn where your pets or children can play, the outdoor offering of this location truly knows no bounds. Venture down to the beach (0.5 miles) for swimming or water sports. From here you can wander up to the majestic Dunraven Castle and capture the view from the clifftop of Witches Point (1 mile). Visit the family-friendly South Wales Aviation Museum, the historic Old Beaupre Castle and the seaside resort of Barry (all within 18 miles) offering a fantastic day out for groups of all ages.

The cottage was on a very good location and we were provided with all the general kitchen supplies we needed. having extra towels was a bonus. Having multiple waste bins clearly explained was a simple but really helpful addition. We enjoyed the excellent local beaches, cobbles restaurant and fish and chip venue. The ice cream from crafts by the seaRead more was outstanding. Having a Tesco extra locally was really useful but we also wish we had discovered the delights of Cowbridge earlier. Hide

Very nice cottage close to the coastal path and some lovely beaches. Great for walking to Ogmore by Sea and Dunraven and further afield. Open plan room upstairs is great for socialising with kitchen, dining table and lounge area. Bedrooms are quite small and storage minimal and be aware there's only one proper shower which our group of six adults hRead moread to share. Outside space is nice but small if you have dogs. Good pub two minutes walk away that also has a pizza concession outside (in summer). Overall would recommend. Hide

This is a lovely cottage in a great position either to walk the coast path and beach or to visit other places. The Vale of Glamorgan is really beautiful and a short drive to Cardiff as well. The kitchen is very well equipped and the house is nicely furnished. Considering we were six adults and two dogs, it felt very spacious.

We had a wonderful family holiday in this property. It was comfortable and had fantastic views. There was a special play area for small children which was welcome. We enjoyed the beaches, Ogmore's stepping stones and castle, and Cardiff on a wet day.

A great place to stay. A good location for the beach and visiting other local attractions. There is a good pub within a few minutes walk and the food is fine. Also nearby is a restaurant - Frolics, excellent food for a special night out and warm friendly service. The cottage itself is clean spacious upstairs and well kept. The bedrooms are on the sRead moremall side with little storage space in two of the rooms but comfortable. As a family we would certainly recommend Dancing Stones Hide
