Heritage Retreat Reviews

Richard
We had a fantastic stay at this location. The hosts were friendly and helpful, making sure we enjoyed our stay. Short walks a plenty and some beautiful scenery on your door step. Would highly recommend a stay here.
The property was extremely clean, comfortable and warm. 5 at its best. Very friendly and helpful hosts. The local pub was great, highly recommend the meals especially the Sunday roast. A very welcome break.
What a lovely lodge, every detail has been thought about to ensure you have a fantastic stay. The hot tub was a bonus only in place for a week so a luxury we didnt expect when booking. The owners were lovely met us on arrival but did not intrude, there if we needed them for anything. Our dog loved her stay too and was not happy about leaving. Would highly recommend this lodge, excellent value and brilliantly placed to explore the Vale of Glamorgan.
Charlotte
This is an exceptional property, beautifully and thoughtfully furnished. The hosts are friendly and helpful, without being intrusive, and clearly care about the experience they are providing. The location is perfect for coastal walking, the local pub was also great and the new hot tub all added to a brilliant break.

Hosts were very friendly and helpful. The property was fantastic. We had a very enjoyable holiday.
A lovely comfortable lodge. Warm and cosy. Supplied with everything we needed. Nice location, with the pub very handy.and a short journey into Bridgend for supermarket shopping. The owners were very helpful and thoughtful, but not intrusive. The dog had a wonderful time too...We did intend to try the coffee shop on site which looked very inviting but never quite made it. Next time maybe..

Wow, what a gem! We had the most incredible stay. Every little detail of the Lodge has been considered, from the fantastic beds, bedding, towels to the blackout, beautiful curtains and blinds, and furniture. We wouldnt change anything! Thanks so much, Philippa and Glen!
Beautifully presented, comfortable place to stay. Highly recommend.
