Cottage holiday rentals in Porthcawl

We all had a truly wonderful stay at The Dairy in South Wales. The cottage is charming, beautifully kept, and perfectly nestled among rolling hills and countryside walks — an ideal spot to switch off and unwind from the demands of everyday life. The surroundings are peaceful and scenic, with plenty of walking trails right on the doorstep perfect for our 2 dogs what where with us!Whether you're after a gentle stroll or something more adventurous, the area is a dream for nature lovers. Our hosts were absolutely fantastic — warm, welcoming, and always on hand if needed, without being intrusive. You can tell they really care about making guests feel at home. Even giving us milk that we forgot to bring with us-! Lifesavers! If you're looking for a peaceful escape with stunning views, fresh air, and a real sense of calm, I can't recommend The Dairy enough. I left feeling rested, recharged, and already planning a return visit! Thank you so much guys, see you soon!

If you're considering booking this property, then do it! We have had the best week staying here and I cannot rate it highly enough. The host was great at communicating before the trip and whilst we were there. Whenever we had a question, nothing was too much trouble. She contacted us to let us know we could check in a little bit earlier as the property was ready, and this was much appreciated. One of the biggest things we look for in an airbnb is cleanliness, and I have to say, the property was spotless. The kitchen had all the amenities you could want, and the house had lovely little touches for our toddler; toys, highchair, stair gate and bed guard. Whilst the weather wasn't great, there was a lovely sized garden, and our toddler was able to visit the horses behind the garden and feed them carrots. Everything was a very short drive away, and location was great. We enjoyed a dinner in the pub garden of the Ancient Briton. Thank you for making our stay so wonderful!

A wonderful warm welcome awaits in this picturesque corner of wales. Beautiful rolling countryside and utter peaceful surroundings. A lovely break away from it all where nothing is too much trouble for the host to ensure you have a great stay!

Really clean place, easy check in and overall amazing stay. Definitely recommend

We’ve just returned from the most delightful short break in a beautiful college cottage tucked away in the heart of Wales. The cottage itself was a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern comfort — tastefully furnished, spotlessly clean, and full of character. Surrounded by rolling hills and the peaceful sounds of nature, it felt like a true escape from the everyday. This little haven gave us the peace and quiet we craved, along with the warmth and welcome of a truly special place. We left feeling rested, inspired, and already dreaming of our return xx

Just returned after two nights in Mabel cottage. We had such a wonderful time and would highly recommend. Debbie was very helpful and the grounds and accommodation felt very special. Such a peaceful place to rest and recharge. Perfect pitstop for our hiking trip. Thank you both.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the house was very clean and tidy and Clare went above and beyond with complimentary cake and fizz on arrival. Clare was very responsive when we had questions about the area. The house felt like a home, and it was great to be able to make the most of the spa pool after a day out. We would definitely book again.

We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful cottage. Well presented with well thought out amenities left for us. Plenty of space for the three of us and the hot tub was a delightful treat after we had explored for 11k. Dinner at butterflies was stunning, for three people who talk a lot, we were eating in silence because we were so happy 🥰 Will happily recommend to friends and family visiting the area. Thank you so much to Dayne and Curtis x

Great place to stay. Lovely cottage, beautiful surroundings, not too far from villages & towns. Isobel was perfect host. Would highly recommend

Beautiful, really well kept, inviting, clean and cosy. Bridie was very welcoming and friendly. I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay. Porlock had fantastic scenary and was well located. There was an array of restaurants and tea rooms, although lots were not open when we stayed! (End of May Bank Hol week). Both Ship pubs were great, with lovely food and service. All in all, a fantastic time was had by all!

Lois’s Airbnb was a truly wonderful place for my friends and me to reconnect and spend a few relaxing days together. From the moment we arrived, Lois was incredibly helpful, responsive, and genuinely welcoming. She was an absolute pleasure to speak with and made us feel right at home. The cottage itself is beautiful—nestled in serene natural surroundings, with friendly cats and cheerful chickens roaming around, adding a charming and heartwarming touch to the experience. I wholeheartedly recommend staying at Lois’s cottages if you’re visiting Wales. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the peaceful countryside!

Very quirky accommodation on the edge of Glynneath. Cosy, warm, well equipped and welcoming. Easy to find, and very easy to gain access to the Four Waterfalls trail

We had a very comfortable stay at Hydaway Cottage. It is a great location to enjoy everything that Mumbles has to offer, because everything is walkable. Ben is a great communicator who provided useful advice and guidance from start to finish.

Lovely warm welcome from Joan together with some locally made Welsh cakes and Jam were an unexpected extra. The house is a great base for exploring the beautiful Gower Coast and was exactly as described in the details. A real home from home and spotlessly clean.

We had a wonderful stay! The location is very peaceful and perfect for relaxing. The host was extremely kind and attentive, making us feel very welcome. The terrace and garden were beautiful – ideal for enjoying the sun and the lovely view of nature. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped with everything we needed. Highly recommended – we would definitely love to come back!

My stay was just a quick overnight visiting family. I have previously stayed at another property within the Pencerrig collection, there is a consistent aesthetic, the houses are beautifully decorated. The bed was very comfortable and both bathrooms were great. I didn’t use the kitchen but it seemed to be well stocked. I stayed alone this time but I can imagine having a lot of fun in the outdoor spaces with company. A real gem in a great outdoorsy area with 2 pubs within crawling distance.

lovely cottage exactly what we'd hoped for perfect for me and my daughter and it was as we expected immaculately clean and well maintained, small but nice outside area and the added bonus of the lovely shop next door i had a great pasty and bottle of wine from the shop. staff were friendly we would highly recommend Peacock Cottage.

What a fantastic stay. Beautiful property with a comfy bed and sofa bed and a little nook for the kids to sleep in. The house was very clean and had everything you would need. Amazing area, close to the beach and coastal path and we went for lovely walks with beautiful views. Hot tub was fab, we could watch the sunset from it. Sam was very helpful and responsive. We have booked to return for later in the year. Thanks so much.

This is our third stay at the Malthouse and it never disappoints. Love the location and the ease of getting to the beaches. The house is always clean and Jane is very proactive if there is any issue at all. We’ll be back..

We travelled as a family of three with obligations in Bridgend for a week, and Liz's cottage was the perfect home away from home! It is beautiful and spacious - "cozy" in the description is misleading. It's beside a farm with horses - a real treat for our son! And it's got to be one of the most sparkling clean Airbnbs I've ever stayed in! Liz is an exceptional host and was very kind to let us check in a few hours earlier - thank you! She was highly responsive both before and during our stay and was attentive to anything we needed. Highly recommended cottage and host! Will stay here again!

Glenn was so kind and helpful! Really enjoyed my stay😊.

Sweet little cottage but lacking nothing! Immaculately clean and a very comfy bed. Very much appreciated the crumpets, butter and jam near a modern toaster, all ready for our arrival! Communication and getting in via the lockbox was straightforward. We had a lovely weekend here, thanks xxx

I had a lovely time at Ty Cwtch,, it had everything i needed for my 4 night stay and was comfortable and well presented,, it was spotlessly clean.. the property is gated so its safe to let my dog out,, Debra also supplied dog bowls, towels, blanket, and treats for my dog which is extremely helpful.. The bed is so comfortable i slept like a baby.. i went for my 60th birthday and Debra kindly left me a card and some birthday treats which was so kind and thoughtful.. ty cwtch is situated perfectly between the beach and the beautiful wilderness lake and is a short walk to pubs and the town.. Debra is responsive and helpful and willing to help with any suggestions if needed.. i will definitely go back to ty cwtch as i love it there and the cosy comforting atmosphere it gives...

If I could give this place 6 stars I would! A stunning place, with everything you’d need and more for a super homely, comfortable stay. Gareth left us some fresh milk, bread and cookies and had a fridge and kitchen full of essentials. The beds were so comfortable. What a luxurious stay! Parking was easy and communication with Gareth was great.
