  Not clearly signed where the cottage was so was driving around trying to find it.

  Once arrived the owner never realised we had arrived. After owner saw us she gave us a guided tour. Once we where all in, the kids saw soo many spider webs and big spiders. Firstly we had to move them but everywhere we turned there was another spider and another web. Whether it be in the sealing corners or floor corners. Behind bedside tables ontop of wardrobes...everywhere. There where also woodlice inside the property. Ants outside the front entrance and all over the recycling bags. There was lots of dust ontop of the books with webs, on the bathroom heater and behind the sink taps. Had to ask for WiFi password. Having 4 young kids not doing as they where told. Trying to pack and sort house put to how it was, we got late by 30 minutes and the owner was not happy. What she said was 'did you forget the departure time was 10am' to which I replied 'no but having 4 kids it was difficult'. The house was empty all we had to do was put the bags in the car. Not once did she ask how our stay was? or say have a safe journey home or did you enjoy your stay? They could have started one end instead of being abit grumpy!

  We are a family of 4 with two small children (4&2) and came to enjoy South Wales with some friends.

  We had a wonderful time on holiday here. The cottage is lovely and had everything we needed, it is conveniently located with the nearby town of Llantwit Major offering practical amenities and plenty of woods, beaches and castles in the area to explore. The family that operate the cottage are on site and are all lovely and helpful, great with the kids and gave us some great recommendations of places to visit all thew while ensuring our stay was going well (even offering one of the paddocks for me to set up my telescope, unfortunate I never had a clear enough sky for it). Some things we did if you are after ideas, in no particular order: Ogmore Beach, Ogmore Castlem Porthcawl beach and arcades, Forrest Fawr, Southerndown Beach and Dunraven bay/castle. Some of the other stuff we wanted to do was closed due to Covid but there was more than enough to exhaust the kids on a daily basis. We look forward to returning to enjoy more of this wonderful slice of the country and we'd certainly stay here again when we do return. Thank you for a great stay!

  Second time at this property.

  Lively house so very clean and everything is there for your home from home stay. I do not have anything negative to say about TÅ· Glas. You are welcomed with a small bottle of fresh milk in the fridge in a reusable glass bottle, welsh cakes and a nice bottle of drink waiting for you in the kitchen. Beds made up and the most wonderful towels waiting for every person. Tea coffee and sugar all supplied. In the cupboards are an array of cupboard essentials. Treats, poop bags and towel, throws for the lounge. Games and books to use at your pleasure. Dog friendly places to eat close by and just a short drive away plenty more to find. The garden centre at Ewenny do a lively breakfast also dig friendly. No doubt I shall return for a 3rd time. You can not go wrong staying here. It is one of those places if the weather has a bad day you will be comfortable just staying in. Bonus is the hot tub if you are into that sort of thing.

  We arrived at the property after travelling over 7 hours.

  Deeply disappointed with the location and state of the property. Lots of items not working dirty and poorly maintained and grubby. Contacted the owner when first having issues…. No reply. However did reply immediately when I text the following morning stating we had left the morning after arriving. Having had to book alternative accommodation. Yes it was that bad! Beds were very uncomfortable, springs totally shot, shower dirty with mould and not working. Properly on a very busy road with single glazed windows in disrepair, a graveyard as a back garden. Got no more than 2 hours sleep that night. Best thing about this property was the new kettle and toaster. Have made a formal complaint to Sykes over a week ago and yet to have any response. I have used Sykes many times before but have to say I will not be using them again. Deeply disappointed ☹️

  We shared our holiday week in October with some old friends and we all had a wonderful week at the cottage.

  Kitchen is very well equipped but just to warn you fridge is down a step in room next door. Used washing machine and tumble dryer which was a big bonus. Could have hung out on line but no pegs so that would be very useful. Our king size bed was extremely comfortable but our friends had twin beds and they felt they needed toppers to make more comfortable. The weather was warm and so spent some time in the garden. The grass was extremely long and wet underfoot so dogs got wet and clearing up was harder! Small issues but we still loved our week at Ewenny. It’s so close to beautiful beeches and places to visit. We didn’t need to use the fire but it’s all there for you to take advantage of if you want to. The cottage is not ultra modern but it’s a wonderful and welcoming place to stay and would definitely recommend it.
