Phyllis

The Cwtch was lovely. Clean comfortable and cosy. We had a lovely week staying there. We highly recommend it.

Beverley

The Cwtch was a fantastic base for our holiday, comfortable, clean and friendly. The hot tub was fantastic. My husband and I have never been in one and found it lovely at the end of the day to spend time relaxing together. I loved the booklet with the restoration work and a bit of history and my dog loved seeing the pigs every evening. All in all a wonderful holiday. We will be back x

Sarah-jane

Can't fault the property owners everything was superb we will definitely be booking again for next year. Thank you for a wondering relaxing stay

Lesley

We had a fabulous time at Sealands Farm, such a peaceful and chilled break. The accommodation had everything we needed and the hot tub is a definite bonus. Extremely dog friendly too.

Lovely cottage. High level of comfort and attention to detail. Excellent location and ideal for a chilled and relaxed stay with plenty of scope for breathtaking walks along the coastline with furry friends.

Maureen

Very clean and comfortable, definitely recommend. The l exterior could be improved with shrubs and flowers.

Louisa

A cosy stylish super clean cottage which has been well finished. They have thought of everything, even to making sure your pooch has a perfect stay as well and is kept safe which a holiday dog take. Thank you for an amazing holiday

Another great week at The Cwtch. Everything was great. The owners and managers of the property were super responsive and acted promptly when we needed them. What a great cottage. We love it there

Lovely cottage in a great location for coastal walk. Modern & well equipped, even had bits for the dog. Even though we didn't use them Loved the private secure garden for the dog. Which enabled us to use the hot tub without worrying. My only negetive was there was no where to hang a wet coat separate to the hanging rail in the bedroom where are clothes were. Maybe something on the inside door of the boiler cupboard?? We did have some stormy weather to be fair though. A relaxed cosy stay. Friendly hosts & loved how the pigs ran across the field to say hello.

From the moment we arrived, we were impressed with the Cwtch. It was spotlessly clean and tidy and the bed was so big and comfortable, with plenty of drawer space for our. The kitchen was well equipped, everything we needed was there. The garden was a perfect size for our dog, Clemmy. It was properly enclosed with no chance of escape and the hot tub was an added bonus. The dog extras were a brilliant idea, particularly the holiday id tag and the mitten dog towel was perfect for a dog with a beard. Weve bought one for home.

Rebecca

Lovely property, so comfortable and clean. Secure for the dog and lovely facilities! Area was beautiful and our pup loved the piggies

Sharon

Cosy cottage in excellent location. Well equipped and beautiful. Hot tub was a welcome treat after long coastal beach walks. Lovely secure garden for the dog. Only suggestion would be to add some voile curtains at the main entrance for more privacy as it faces out into the courtyard for all 3 cottages. Were already thinking about returning next year

Evelyn

Fab property, really well equipped and very private garden with hot tub, very secure for dogs. Very clean cottage, welcome basket was lovely. Had a great stay!

Phyllis

Beautiful place. Comfortable,clean and very well furnished. We really enjoyed our stay

Richard

A very nice cottage in lovely position, owners so helpful and friendly, we enjoyed our stay and the Vale of Glamorgan is so pleasant.

The Cwtch is a fantastic place stay and we cant recommend it highly enough. Everything provided was of the highest possible quality. The welcome packs for dogs and us humans were lovely and the garden was 100 secure so we could sit in the hot tub and not worry about the dogs escaping! We met Emma and Hannah who were both really helpful and there are lovely walks from the farm. We will definitely be going back.

Cavina

The cottage was lovely it was peaceful and relaxing, however the only disappointing parts was on arrival me and my partner was pulled across in the layby before going down the lane to the cottage and there was a gator with a man and 2 young lads in it and they beeped at us, flicked stones up at our car whilst skidding out of the lane laughing at us, and this didnt give us a very good impression, unfortunately the hot tub turned my partners shorts orange due to the amount of chlorine in the water, despite this the cottage was lovely.

Jennie

Could find no fault would definitely recommend

The cottage is cosy with all you could want from your holiday accommodation. It would have been nice to have a view out of the back.

Beautiful little getaway. Can't wait to return

We were very happy with our stay at The Cwtch. The property is finished to a high standard & was very well equipped & comfortable. We would highly recommend & would go again ourselves but not sure if age & health will allow!

Simona-margot

From our first step inside the cottage we have been amazed by the welcome feeling we've got cleanliness, spotless, attention to all little details, best quality all over the place. Very tranquil place although it is on a working farm. Cottage location is close to a lot of walking paths, places to visit, pubs and restaurants and shops. We are going to book again and enjoy.
