Stunning 16 century building with gorgeous stone cottages that actually look like the pictures online! Angelina at reception was fantastic and the restaurant was excellent. Just duck as you walk round and through the doorways as the Elizabethans were much shorter!
Gorgeous stone buildings built in 1588 but very nicely appointed inside.

This was our second stay at The Great House. Last time we had a room in the hotel building this time it was in the "annex". Very comfortable, large room. Staff were all really nice, very good breakfast on both days. Enjoyed the cocktails too. Thanks to all the team.

Interesting building but some communal areas scruffy and need to be decorated. We had room 8, good size, plenty of space for clothes, and spotless. Bathroom looks stylish but not practical - mirror over washbasin positioned for someone taller than 5ft 2in (my height) all I could see was my forehead!! Getting in and out of the bath to use the shower was risky - nothing to hold onto and no bath mat (how does that comply with Health & Safety?) Two of the windows were at the side of the building above the noisy air-conditioning unit, we had to keep the windows open all night due to hot weather. Breakfast both days ok but noticed other guests who ordered cooked food left most of it. Not enough staff for the number of overnight guests but they were pleasant and helpful.

A beautiful old (16th Century) building about 2 miles from Bridgend and close to Ogmore by Sea (visit highly recommended). We were lucky to visit on a sunny day and to take advantage of the garden while having a drink (cocktails very good!) and snack for lunch. We were very warmly welcomed at Reception and loved our large room. Very good value for money - to stay at a character property. There's a bus stop opposite which was really helpful as we were expecting to walk the 2 miles to a train station to go to Cardiff.A real unexpected bonus was how beautiful the nearby coastal area was.
