Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 16 - Ogmore-by-Sea, Vale of Glamorgan

Sweeping coastal views, characterful original features and nearby idyllic Welsh beaches will win you over while staying in this spacious and luxurious eight-bed farmhouse. With two lounges, a large garden and five en-suites, this property offers everything you could need for a group of up to 16 human guests and two canine companions. You'll be conveniently close to a couple of eateries, secluded beaches and historic castles.

Make memories in luxury while staying in this two-storey, renovated farmhouse with exposed stone walls, wooden beamed ceilings and elegant decor. Gather with your loved ones in the main lounge with a large, eye-catching fireplace with a crackling wood burner surrounded by plush velvet sofas and chic wooden furnishings. An archway leads to the open-plan kitchen/diner with a stylish blue and white kitchen boasting glossy surface tops and a breakfast bar.

Beside this is the tucked-away dining area with antique chairs. The second lounge has a more casual and contemporary feel, with a large corner sofa and tones of orange throughout. Eight bedrooms are spread across the two floors; the master bedroom boasts a four-poster super-king-size bed with an en-suite shower room.

Outside is a spacious garden on the farm grounds, containing a complex of three holiday properties. Soak up the sea views from the lawn and dine alfresco in the seating area. There is also an on-site coffee shop and bar.

From the walled garden, step through the gate straight onto the cliff-top heritage coastal trail. Take a night off from cooking and head to one of the local restaurants (0.5 miles). Explore the two beaches on either side of the property – go fossil hunting on Dunraven Bay (1 mile) or frolic along the shores of Ogmore By Sea Beach (2 miles), which is dog-friendly all year round.
