Guests say
Ewenny Cottage is a well-loved and homely property, praised for its warm and comfortable atmosphere. Guests appreciate the secure garden for dogs, the well-equipped kitchen, and the easy parking. Its proximity to beautiful beaches and local amenities, along with its suitability for groups, makes it a recommendable stay. Some minor maintenance issues were noted, but these did not detract from the overall positive experiences.
The cottage is generally clean, with guests finding it tidy upon arrival. However, one review mentioned the presence of dog hair on the living room carpet, suggesting room for improvement in vacuuming.
The location is highly regarded, with easy access from the M4 motorway and close proximity to Ogmore by Sea, Bridgend, and Porthcawl. The convenience of a well-stocked shop within walking distance is also appreciated.
Most guests found the cottage comfortable, especially noting the king size bed. However, there was a suggestion for mattress toppers on the twin beds to enhance comfort.
The facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and useful laundry appliances. Some guests suggested minor improvements, such as providing pegs for hanging laundry and addressing the long, wet grass in the garden.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews provided, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Joanne
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Couple of things that could do with some attention, but cosmetic only and did not impact our experience. Fantastic area, scenic but also well serviced with amenities etc. Cottage was spacious, very clean and very comfortable. We were a party of six adults and 1 dog, plenty of room for us all and very well laid out. Would highly recommend and certainly go back if we are in the area again.

It clean other than that we had to change the battery in the remote for the tv and we had a problem with the carbon monoxide monitor it started to go off on Friday morning and we found it on the floor at the back of the washing machine. We had everything we needed and we had a great time thank you.
