The Old Barn Reviews

It was absolutely fantastic, the most beautifully decorated and spacious holiday cottage! We very equipped and thoughtfully laid out so as to accommodate a large group well. So close to the lovely beach Rest Bay and just next to the great pub The Rose and Crown. We will be back!!

Lovely house in a nice location.

There were 6 of us at the house - grandparents, parents, teenage and 10yo. We had the impression that the double room and en-suite accessed from the utility room would be downstairs. This didnâ??t matter to us but could be a problem if a guest couldnâ??t manage stairs. That said, the property is very spacious and comfortable, there are pubs, coffee shop and a general store almost on the doorstep and there are many places to visit within an hourâ??s drive. We had a great time there.

Lovely family cottage less than 15 mins walk from the coast. Great local pubs literally 1 minute away.

Enjoyed our stay but property needs attention as it looks and feels tired in places.

This is a fabulous cottage in a really great location. The cottage itself has four spacious bedrooms and all the equipment needed. The village shop is literally 30 seconds walk from the front door and the 3 village pubs are all within 5 mins walk max. Especially recommend the Italian food at The Farmers Arms. The village of Nottage is within an easy 20-30 mins walk (5 mins in car) from Porthcawl itself and close to some lovely beaches. There is no garden space but the courtyard is a lovely suntrap. With good parking, the courtyard can take two small cars with another allocated space just outside on the driveway.

Great property â?? beautifully decorated with a lovely layout and plenty of space for socialising or relaxing. The parking was convenient, and the location made for a fantastic break near the sea. Itâ??s ideal for families or smaller groups, with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Thank you so much â?? we had a great time!

Excellent barn conversion. Not ideal for families with children as no where for them to "kick a ball" or have a BBQ.

Fantastic property in a great location. We realised the boiler wasnâ??t working on our first morning there, plumber came out and fixed it really quickly.

We had a wonderful family get away. There were eight of us but the barn is so well laid out with different living areas it was perfect. It is very well equipped and comfortable. We all said we would love to return.

We loved The Barn and itâ??s the perfect location for visiting our Welsh family so we will be back for sure!

The Old Barn is in a really good location, close to the beach and to three welcoming pubs.

We enjoined our stay at this lovely holiday house. It has a very spacious living area and well equipped kitchen. The whole house has been tastefully put together. The bedrooms are a good size with comfortable beds and plenty of storage space. The house is in a good location for walking into Porthcawl. Good notes about what to put in which bins, but no information on when they should be put out for collection. The nespresso machine could not be used as it required the newer style pods which are not readily available in supermarkets. There is a tumble dryer at the house.

The cottage is in a perfect location. Comfort is exceptional. Very spacious rooms throughout. Beautiful authentic decor throughout with timber beams, well suited to the property. A well equipped kitchen with all the necessary items and more. With a large utility room. Cobbled seating area outside fully enclosed as expected. If I had the pennies I would buy this cottage if available. Highly recommend

Very spacious, welcoming barn. Homely & nicely decorated. Fully equipped with everything we needed. Beautiful location within easy walking distance to Porthcawl. Several pubs, serving meals, within 2min walk. Fantastic little coffee shop next door to bar & well stocked local shop opposite. Overall an excellent holiday location

A comfortable property with lots of space.

Beautifully decorated Barn - to a very high standard. Nice rooms, bathrooms and communal spaces comfortably seating us eight. We were a mixed group of adults and kids. My son enjoyed the quirky little stairway behind the chimney leading upstairs. Everything that we could think of was there. Including hair dryer, iron, washing machine and dryer. The TVs and lounges were great - with comfortable sofas. Kitchen was well equipped and also done to a high standard. A large 7 burner hob!!! Lots of little nice touches throughout with the lamps, candles etc. There is a nespresso machine! Would have been good to know before so i could have brought some pods. Good quality dishes - in short it's built and equipped for a family to live in - rather than just as a rental. Good location - close to the beach. The bathrooms were very nicely done, with nice bathtubs and spacious open showers. We had good internet connectivity. We really enjoyed the whole stay and the setup made it very magical.
