About this property

This delightful detached cottage, set in the heart of the pretty Vale of Glamorgan village of Llantwit Major is built on the site of the village bakery. A spacious two-bedroom cottage, The Old Bakehouse is ideally situated for those wanting a base within walking distance of shops, pubs, restaurants and even the beach, which is just one mile away. There are two airy bedrooms, the master with a king-size bed and the other a family room with three singles. The bright family bathroom is conveniently situated between the between the two bedrooms and features a full-size bath, perfect for soaking any aches away after a wonderful day of walking or cycling the stunning surrounding area. Downstairs, the open plan living area has plenty of comfy seating for relaxing after the day’s activities and a large table where you can enjoy family meals whilst discussing adventures for the rest of the week. Step through the dining area to the well-equipped kitchen, where a door gives access to the walled courtyard, ideal for alfresco meals, a barbecue or just relaxing with a drink. Only 200 yards away are two picturesque pubs, along with the shops of this charming, ancient village, whilst just a mile away is the dramatic Glamorgan Heritage Coastline, so why not leave your car parked up and explore the local area on foot? Venture further afield and you can visit stunning sandy beaches such as Southerndown, Ogmore-by-Sea or Merthyr Mawr near Porthcawl, with its famous sand dunes, and also the nearby beach holiday resort of Barry Island. Those seeking retail therapy are well catered for in nearby Cowbridge or perhaps Cardiff, Swansea or the designer outlet village at Bridgend. There’s also plenty of local history to discover with the nearby romantic ruins of Ogmore Castle and stately homes and grounds of Tredegar House and Dyffryn Gardens. Set in a convenient village location for a quiet holiday, yet close to an array of activities, The Old Bakehouse is just perfect for everyone to explore South Wales.

Ancient buildings are everywhere in Llantwit Major, one of the Vale of Glamorgan’s most beautiful villages – the first church was recorded in the settlement more than 1,500 years ago, and lush countryside, caves and sandy beaches make for glorious surroundings.

    As long as people remember that this property is pet friendly they should enjoy there stay immensely as all the tools are there to keep this lovely home clean and comfortable, as it doesn’t clean itself. No trouble parking our cars again for the fourth year of staying here, just don’t park in riverside walk, they have a lookout I do believe that signals the printer in charge to leave an A4 paper on your windscreen with what they believe is a sarcastic promo on outside people, they offer you a vurooka check or a special car wash, I just decided not to park there anymore, problem solved, strangely enough, the neighbours are really friendly, lovely people.Great walks, lovely town, great bus and train service to Cardiff or Bridgend,great takeaways great kitchen for home cooking,, superb local butcher, and as for good ale , it’s got the lot within two minutes walk, wonderful atmosphere and hospitality in the inns, great food, home to a nice warm comfy bed, what more do you want! Thanks Debbie for your lovely home, wyn David,

    Just what we needed and allowed dogs which was perfect for us.

    The area is lovely and we saw some nice places. The village has everything you need with plenty of amenities. The only disappointing thing was the cottage. It had all the things you needed but it needed a really deep clean. The pots and pans needed to be washed before I could use them and the cupboards were very dirty. The whole cottage looked like it could do with a repaint, the bathroom needs a new shower head and a new toilet seat. With these things updated we would consider booking this property again. All the information sent was also very helpful.
