The Granary Reviews

The cottage was lovely, clean and had everything we needed for a week away, a real home from home. Everyone we met on the farm was really friendly. The cottage is located within easy access to the coastal path and I found this invaluable for accessing some of the less visited beaches.

Natasha

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Granary. Such a perfect, cosy, well equipped holiday home for exploring all the lovely places the local area has to offer. So many fantastic walks with the dogs close by, the garden area was also great for them! Everything exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be looking at coming back

The Granary was a wonderful place to stay. Beautiful building, comfortable and dog friendly. Clean and well maintained. Lovely area for dog walking. Host was also lovely and so helpful. The perfect place for our first holiday with our baby.

A lovely location and beautiful property,enhanced by the glorious weather. We did not want to leave it all behind.

Michael

We were extremely impressed by the standard of decor and facilities. The location is ideal for exploring the area and local landmarks. Our two dogs were welcome and well provided for. We would thoroughly recommend Sealands Farm cottages.

Amazing! Everything was so lovely and the attention to detail is spot on! Would definitely come back! Thank you x

Jennifer

The cottage was spotless and incredibly comfortable for us, our 2 year old and 2 dogs. We had a wonderful week and will definitely return.

Fantastic stay Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location plenty of beaches lovely walks and great for kite flying.

Charlotte

We had the best week at The Granary. Every detail has been thought about by the wonderful hosts Emma and David, making our stay comfortable and easy. The hot tub is super, with an enclosed and private garden, and a lovely view. Many an evening sat out in the garden enjoying the peace and quiet! Lovely location with lots of lovely places to eat including coffee and cake. Lots to do for our teenage girls, and the dog had a super holiday too. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed! We will be back!

The granary is outstanding, we had the best time whilst staying there. Emma the owner went above and beyond and nothing was too much trouble. We didnt want to come home and will definitely stay again.

Owners are extremely helpful if needed, site & cottage are beautiful, perfect for a relaxing laid back stay

Helena

We had a lovely stay. The Granary was extremely well stocked and we wanted for nothing. Lovely location and great walk down to the coastal path. We would definitely return. A downstairs toilet would be the only thing we would add to make it perfect and an extra couple of dishwasher tablets

Nicola

Lovely, comfortable and wellequipped cottage. Perfect for exploring a beautiful part of the Welsh coast.

It was absolutely amazing so relaxing every little detail thought of beautiful week away.

Luxury, excellent fixtures and fittings, peaceful location, close to beaches, fully enclosed gardens excellent for small children and dogs. Private hot tub which is not overlooked. We really enjoyed our stay, David and Emma were available if needed.

Rachel

We loved staying at The Granary. It was in a lovely locaton where a walk across a few fields to the coast path brings you to a view of the sea and access to great walks. The owners had thought of every little detail for us and our dog, with lovely welcome packs for us all. The hottub was a real treat, and the towelling robes made it easy to enjoy a dip even when the weather was a bit nippy. The beds were comfortable and the location is very quiet at night so we slept well. We would definitely recommend staying here, and will return in future. Thank you!

Yildiray

This property was clean and well equipped. Location was brilliant

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. It was very comfortable, well equipped and had everything we needed. The owners had thought of everything! We enjoyed exploring the area and walking the nearby footpaths. There was plenty to see and do! Hopefully well be back!

Very happy with my stay! Hosts very responsive and the house was beautiful the area was so nice! Despite having internet issues the owners were on top of everything ensuring to keep in contact to resolve the issue

Wow wow wow wow wow! ! Sealands Farm Cottages are absolutely beautiful. From the moment you turn down the drive and pull up outside your own holiday cottage your vacation begins. The cottages are absolutely beautiful and so cosy. Everything has been so well thought out and considered. We stayed for a week and didnt want to leave. We stayed in the Byre and it was stunning. Gorgeous furnishings and super comfy beds and a hot tub with plenty of room to stretch out. We loved the welcome pack of Prosecco Mince pies and treats for the dogs. These cottages are a gem. Emma and David have really gone all out and it shows. I want to tell all of my friends to stay but I dont want it to be booked up so I cant go lol. Honestly if you are looking for an amazing dog friendly cottage then this is the place for you. You will not be disappointed if you book here you will only be looking to book your next stay while you are here its that nice. Thank you so much for all of your hospitality and kindness. We cant wait to come back.

Shirley

The Granery is stunning. Always warm, with under floor heating and log burner. Hot Tub is lovely as was the outdoor seating, just needed covers for the seat pads when it rainded. Beds were firm but perfect. Location amazing with cliff top walks with dog friendly beaches not far either. It would be difficult to find a better dog friendly property in the UK.

The Granary was a great location, very clean and comfortable, owners David and Emma were great and on hand if needed quick to sort out queries. Lots to do in the area . Would 100 recommend the cottages and will definitely return.

The Granary has everything you could need in a holiday cottage. The owners live close by and are very helpful and friendly, but not intrusive. We had truly awful weather for midSeptember, but The Granary was warm and cosy. The garden would be completely dogproof for any size of dog. The owners are very dogfriendly. It was my first time in a hot tub and I decided it was good! It's an easy drive to various places for walks along the coast path. We also enjoyed a visit to Dyffryn Gardens NT.

A really lively and convenient place to stay

We were blown away with all the extra things they provided that we didn't expect. Even for the dogs. There attention to detail to make our stay extra special was appreciated. From the bed linen, comfort, cleanliness was all 5 star. The accommodation is perfectly situated for amazing walks and trips to the beach.

What a gem this cottage is, clean and well equipped, my dogs absolutely loved the cottage and the ability to use a kennel when it wasnt best to take them with us was fantastic. Set in a farm setting surrounded by lovely walks and spectacular coastal towns just a short drive away it was a wonderful location to unwind from the stresses of life. Will be returning asap thanks Emma for making the stay perfect

Hannah

This cottage is outstanding ! !! Beautiful location, stunning decor, spotlessly clean and perfect for dogs as fully enclosed with high fences. The owners are amazing, very friendly and polite. The cottage is fully equipped with every small detail you can think of. Examples include a dog tag, saying Im on holiday, with the cottages address, dog gate to prevent dogs going upstairs. The setting is remote, however Bridgend is only 10 mins away. We had the most amazing holiday, accompanied by hot weather. Lots of recommendations for things to do see week commencing 9th June 2023 in the guest book. To name a few local milkshake vending machines Designer outlet lots of beaches The star Inn, burger night was so reasonable with delicious food. Cowbridge Farm track coastal walk to Dunraven Castle and beach Whocult coffee and donuts Ogmore by sea Lots of retail parks close by Couldnt recommend the Granary enough, nothing was done cheaply all lovely furnishing and good quality makes of utensils and accessories.

Just got back from an amazing long weekend staying at The Granary. What a fabulous stay it was. The area is idyllic lovely beaches for us and the dogs, great walks on the doorstep and loads of river walks for the dogs to swim! The cottage is beautiful. Very comfortable and well fitted out with everything we needed. We were also fortunate to have beautiful sunshine for our entire stay. Because of this, we did need to purchase some beach parasols to give us some shade in the afternoon but they will be useful anyway. The garden is shaded in the morning but has sun all afternoon so it is such a delight to sit out there in the evenings. The hot tub is an added bonus and was well used!!! Emma and David are very welcoming and helpful, nothing is too much bother. We felt very much at home and the dogs loved it. We will definitely be returning!! I wished we had booked a longer stay! I didnt want to leave! If youre thinking of booking here, dont hesitate. It really is a lovely cottage to visit.

Douglas

The cottage was lovely and clean. Well equipped with cutlery and dishes. Well catered for dogs and extra bonus for the doggie box and the dog ID tags. Cant say enough about this property definitely will come back again.

Oliver

We loved our week at Sealands farm! Had a lovely warm welcome, and the Granary was a beautiful spacious well renovated cottage. Dog friendly and toddler safe, love the enclosed garden and hot tub. Thanks for having us, we miss it already!
