The lodge benefits from a superb view over countryside to the sea which can be enjoyed from the property and also whilst relaxing in the hot tub! The surrounding area is beautiful with many nearby beaches to enjoy. Glyn and Philippa were friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend.

The hot tub was a bonus only in place for a week so a luxury we didnât expect when booking. The owners were lovely met us on arrival but did not intrude, there if we needed them for anything. Our dog loved her stay too and was not happy about leaving. Would highly recommend this lodge, excellent value and brilliantly placed to explore the Vale of Glamorgan.
