Ivy Cottage At Margam Country Park Reviews

Anna

Highly recommend staying here. The quaint cottage had everthing we needed and more. It was amazing. Set in a beautiful country park with your own secret doorway to access the park grounds. It was truly wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much!

Stephen

Lovely cottage in a great location, private access to Margam Park is a real bonus as you can go when others aren't around and see the deer.

Tony

Absolutely loved the cottage and location. Really well thought out. Everything provided that was needed. We liked being able to walk around the grounds from the cottage via the private door. A real gem. Would highly recommend.

Simon

A bit pricey but location is a bit special. Nicely fitted out.

Catherine

Ivy Cottage is superbly located on the perimeter of the beautiful Margam Park. The cottage is charming, spacious and well-equipped. The decor is tasteful throughout and definitely has a Welsh feel to it- I loved the use of local materials eg slate and Welsh tapestry. The kids were really excited by the regular visits of a peacock to our garden! The communication with the property's owners was efficient and friendly. Thanks for the welcome goodies!

Michael

Absolutely brilliant location with Porthcawl and Aberavon only minutes away. The secret gate to the Park was a big plus as we liked walking around the park after it was closed to the public. Plenty of walks available. The Cottage was very spacious and was like a home from home. Having a bathroom on both floors was a plus too! Nice size bedrooms and comfy beds. Sunroom was a lovely room to sit and relax. We used the Washing Machine twice (very handy). Already missing the place! We will return!

Margaret

The cottage is well equipped for 5 guests. It was clean and sparkling when we arrived. The small welcome pack of teas, coffees and biscuits was very welcome and our dog appreciated his version. The location was perfect for us with plenty of walking on the estate and close to good beaches. We had no problems with food delivery to the cottage, groceries and take aways. Peter, one of the Friends of Margam, was particularly helpful with offers of guided tours and walks and sharing local knowledge.

Kieran

Lovely cottage in a nice quiet location, perfect for walks with your dog in the Park and grounds and also very convenient for local beaches for the family and your dog.

Alan

Beautiful cottage in a stunning location, it is well equipped, beds are super comfy, very clean and very cosy, fourth time staying here to explore what beautiful Wales has to offer.

Karen

This cottage is a true escape from reality - and still close to many facilities. Total relaxation in a beautiful setting. Cleanliness is amazing - and cottage is equipped with everything you are likely to need for your trip. Owners are so responsive and helpful. I just wish I never had to leave.

Mary

The cottage is very nice and as mentioned the position and historical setting are what makes it special. I would recommend if you are attending a wedding in the Orangery, can stay a whole week and can afford the high price.

Janette

We had a wonderful time, cottage was comfortable and very well equipped. Margam Country Park was amazing, we loved the secret door and access to the park at all times. Especially Bat watching at dusk by the pond.

Julie

An absolute gem of a place, not just for us, but for our dogs too. 2 enclosed garden areas, welcome packs for the dogs and us, plus a very comfortable cottage to stay in and enjoy the park and local area. We had everything we needed and more. The green gate giving access to Margam Park really gave us the best holiday experience. Itââ?¬â?¢s amazing how you see things differently going through the green gate rather than the usual main entrance. Thank you for letting us stay - weââ?¬â?¢ve booked again.

Maria

Large property plenty of room for the family, quiet and private most of the time. Good location for country walks and site seeing.
