Ty Gwyn

Portscatho's beaches are the main draw here. Tatum's is a minute's walk away, and Porthcurnick—with its generous stretch of sand—takes about ten minutes on foot. The village square, lined with cafés and shops, is equally close. Ty Gwyn sits among this, a renovated stone cottage that works well for families or groups wanting direct access to coastal life without the fuss of a longer drive.

Inside, the kitchen has two ovens and a hob, so cooking for six is manageable. The living room and separate snug both have wood burners and views toward the sea. Three bedrooms sleep six: a double and two singles upstairs, plus another single room, with a second shower room to ease the morning queue. Downstairs there's a courtyard facing south with space for the barbecue and outdoor furniture. Parking is on-site, and one dog can come along at no extra cost. Wi-Fi, heating and linen are all included.

The cottage takes six people and operates on a self-catering basis. No smoking inside. Check-in is after 4pm, checkout before 10am.
