Very homely caravan with all the necessities for a relaxing holiday! It's about three min walk from the beach and 1 min from the amusement centre. The owner is lovely and easy to contact before and during the stay. There were towels and bathroom products available to use. The living room is massive and bright. WiFi was very good, we streamed films on our laptop with no issues. Very silent at night as well! I would definitely go back!

Newton Cottage was beautiful. Jane was out when we arrived, so Jonathan and their daughter Alexandra took great care of us. The helped us find a place to eat and arranged both the reservations for the restaurant and the taxi. My aunt stayed on the second floor and my husband and I had the third. We loved that we had a separate sitting room. Since he was an early-riser, he could get up and have a cup of coffee while I slept in just a little. The house and gardens are just beautiful (the wisteria was in bloom). It was so fun to walk around with Jonathan and hear about the history of the house.

    Excellent location on seafront at heart of Porthcawl. Entertainment provided. A good value hotel ideal for older clientele. Not to my taste but can see why it would be popular. Some mostly minor niggles in the what didn't you like, but overall no complaints that would prevent me using this hotel again. Room was small but comfortable and very clean.
