The house and view were beautiful and it had everything that you might need there
Janet
We particularly enjoyed the view from the hot tub watching the sun set over the sea. Ogmore by sea is a lovely quiet relaxing spot with an excellent walk along the coast path to Southerndown. We also really enjoyed walking our dogs by the Ogmore river that flows into the estuary. We hope to return .
Sheena
The house has everything you could need. Emma is just the friendliest of owners, she popped along to check the hot tub and she's just lovely. Really helpful guide book in the house helping you find places to eat and things to do locally. We will 100% be back as the house is a perfect location to go out and explore. Lovely neighbours also
