Family-friendly vacation rentals in Bridgend County Borough

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

What a lovely little country retreat, peaceful and restful yet with plenty to do on your doorstep. The walk to the country pub, through the village was a highlight. The kids loved the horses, rope swing and of course jacuzzi. We will definitely stay again.

It was an idyllic getaway in a lovely cottage surrounded by the beautiful Welsh countryside. It was lovely to meet one of the owners Rachel but it was a very private friendly accommodation.

lovely little get away with friends. house has everything you needed including tea coffee etc.. would definitely go back. Brian also very friendly and communication was fab. thank you Brian!

We have just arrived home from our beautiful stay at beili glas cottage. An absolutely stunning location and service, peter and lydia communicated extremely well and even got a slightly earlier check in. Very peaceful and couldn't have asked for more. Looking forward to our next stay.

We had a fabulous stay at Deerview Lodge. In a stunning countryside location with views over the fields. It is peaceful, the hot tub is lovely. A very comfortable, well maintained and spotless property. The owner is friendly and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We had the most wonderful stay! We went for a walk up Pen Pych which had incredible views and was minutes away from the house. The house itself is gorgeous- loads of space. We had great weather so ate lunch in the garden and thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. Plenty of parking, everything you could need available. Host was responsive and gave some great recommendations. I would advise that the top beds are very close to the ceiling so we opted for the sofa beds but there were plenty of comfortable options and the rooms are very spacious. Loved the quirky vibe- you can tell it was a labour of love. Would definitely visit again!!!

We had a lovely time at the cottage we had the most peaceful and relaxing time here! We definetly enjoyed the coziness, the beautiful surroundings and the charming touch aroud the cottage made our stay truly Special. We very much enjoyed exploring around the farm it is a place we will remember fondly. We will definetly return for more honey and butter!!! Thank you 🤗

We are a group of 12 from Canada . This was an absolutely lovely home to stay in. Frankie met us when we arrived and showed us around. The home was complete with everything we could possibly need to feel at home, including all supplies in every room and a few extras that Frankie added. There were books and games for all ages, ample dishes for cooking and eating, loads of towels, cozy bed linens, comfortable pillows, and a whole lot more. Frankie started us off with some food stuff and even laundry detergent. Frankie was easy to communicate with and responded to any questions as needed. Our favourite home by far. We will always try to book here first when we return. Thank you Frankie!

We had a fantastic stay at Niamh’s place. Lovely walks in surrounding area. Beautiful garden to relax in. Plenty of space. Could not fault it at all!

Wonderful stay - would highly recommend. I had a fantastic time staying here. The place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The location was perfect, and Michelle was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout my stay. Check-in was smooth, and the little touches (like the guide to the local area and warm welcome) made it feel like a home away from home. I’d definitely book again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Railway Cottage was lovely and easily met our needs. Easy to travel into Cardiff or up to any of the South Wales valleys or to and from the M4. The garden was a particular attraction for our dog who loved to mooch. Yes, Robs Welsh cakes were lovely but no match for his lovely view of Y Garth from the cosy lounge and the garden. Robs advice on local pubs & eateries was especially helpful and the food and atmosphere over the river at The Gwaelod y Garth Inn was so memorable. A comfortable, cosy stay with all the amenities anyone could want! Diolch yn fawr iawn Rob, oddi wrth Steve 😃

My son and my friend stayed the weekend absolutely loved the stay at Pete's hes a really great person to get with very helpful, Was always on hand should you need anything his home is really cozy and worm very clean beds lovely and soft had a great nights sleep, I would have no problem recommending staying at Pete's id say 6 stars as the packed over all is superb at a very fear price, We just cancelled are next visit of another Airbnb and have rebooked with Pete's lost have the money we had paid due to cancelling it put we feel Pete's home was the better option, Hospitality second to none it will now be are go to from now on, I strongly recommended Pete's home you will not regret staying in his lovey home, Cart wait for are next visit towards end of June

Leah was very responsive showed us around her place which was beautiful. The decor was homely full of wonderful books. Everything was perfect, she went the extra mile to make us feel at home from Welsh cakes to Lavendar bath salts. Thank you so much :)

Such a lovely place to stay. John and Sian were very friendly and helpful. The cottage is cosy and the location is a short drive away from the coast and lots of beautiful walks in the surroundings. Highly recommend.

Mini B is exceptionally clean, tidy and well equipped. Perfect as a base for biking Afan and sightseeing in the local area. It's amazing to visit somewhere which provides secure lock-up storage for our bikes, and facilities to wash the bikes too. The hosts are friendly, and accommodating, the welcome pack of information they provide is incredibly helpful too. Hopefully we will be back!

This is now the 2nd time that I’ve stayed at Phillips’s place, both this time and the first I’ve found the the location to be great, the property to be clean and comfortable and Phillip is a great host, no issues with communication leading up to it during the stay. The property is located in a wonderful rural location, if you’re into cycling or long walks it is ideal, however still on a very short drive away from the local amenities or even Swansea. I would 100% recommend, and I will certainly stay again. Thanks

The cottage is very well restored and decorated with some great history. Can see that the host Phil has put in a lot of effort in getting it to where it is today along with making strides in sustainability. The host is also very friendly, approachable and very responsive. Will definitely visit Phil again and also recommend it.

clean comfortable quiet near the sea and local amenities

Very clean, very friendly, very responsive, very happy!

Lovely Cottage, quaint and lovely and clean, nice location, about a 30 minute walk into Porthcawl town centre

Just had a lovely week at John & Liz’s Granary, lovely and responsive hosts with the property being local to many great places. A big and clean space to stay which is very well equipped. Liz greeted us on arrival and departure, very friendly and helpful with extremely smooth check in/out. Will stay again in the future when in the area, thank you both 🙂
