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

The accommodation was excellent and suited our party of four plus two dogs perfectly. It was in an excellent location close to good coastal walks but also to Bridgend and a very welcoming pub. Everything you could think of was supplied.
