This is a lovely cottage that is quite central, a Coop foodstore is 5 mins away on foot and a couple of pubs 10 mins away, plus easy access to buses to Bridgend, Cardiff and Porthcawl. About a 20 min walk to the beach.. The owner is very helpful and the cottage had everything we needed for a short stay away.

Old Newton cottage is probably the best holiday cottage I have ever stayed in. The cottage is very well equipped,with everything provided to ensure a comfortable stay. It is immaculately clean,very warm and cozy and the beds are extremely comfortable. The cottage is very well situated in the charming village of Newton. There are three pubs,numeroRead moreus shops and a glorious beach all within 5 or 10 minutes walk. There are also bus stops within yards of the property,for those without transport.From there buses operate,regularly to Porthcawl and Bridgend,with their many shops and restaurants. I would recommend Beales in Pprthcawl for excellent fish and chips. Ray is a most gracious host and the fresh flowers,milk and [very good] welsh cakes were a wonderful touch and very much appreciated. I would not hesitate to recommend the cottage to anyone looking for a holiday in this wonderful part of South Wales and we will definitely be returning. Hide

Ray was incredibly accommodating to a last minute booking, the property was immaculate and has everything we need to be comfortable. It's in a fantastic position near to the beach but also an easy walk into town. The little shop round the corner has all the essentials and is good value. The area is quiet and safe, and despite no off road parking weRead more were able to park our two cars really close by every day. This is the second time we've stayed and is our first choice property when visiting family in Porthcawl Hide

Wow! what a beautiful property. The owner was very helpful and showed he cared not just about the property but about his guests. We were blown away at how beautiful the cottage was and particularly blown away on how much thought had gone into not only the restoration of the cottage in the first place but about every individual item that was perfeRead morectly placed to make it a traditional welsh cottage. Everything was clean. The bed was comfy and the bedroom well set up. The bathroom was lovely with everything you want. Garden was beautiful and just right to sit out in the mornings and watch the birds. Will definately visit again when we next decide to go to South Wales. Hide
