    The owners have thought of everything to make your holiday seamless. The hot tub is an added bonus and those sea views!! We loved our time in this house. We will definitely come back.

  • "What a beautiful house with the most stunning views of the sea The hot tub was amazing and a real added bonus The house was exceptionally clean with everything on hand We will definitely look at booking this house again."

    We loved it and so did our dog Rufus. Slight hiccup with the boiler not working so we had to delay our stay by one day but it was soon resolved. We were offered alternative accommodation but we wanted this house for the view. We didn't mind losing one day because we loved the house.

    Hi Ceri, thank you so much for your kind review. We are so happy that you all (including lovely Rufus!) enjoyed your stay at Ty Glas and our wonderful scenery. Thank you for choosing our property for your break. Warmest wishes, The Sealands Team. Property Owner

  • "Ty Glas is well equipped, clean and comfortable."

    We particularly enjoyed the view from the hot tub watching the sun set over the sea. Ogmore by sea is a lovely quiet relaxing spot with an excellent walk along the coast path to Southerndown. We also really enjoyed walking our dogs by the Ogmore river that flows into the estuary. We hope to return .

    Thanks so much for your great review Janet! So pleased that you had chance to enjoy the view. We hope to see you again soon! Property Owner

  • "Second time at this property."

    Lively house so very clean and everything is there for your home from home stay. I do not have anything negative to say about Tŷ Glas. You are welcomed with a small bottle of fresh milk in the fridge in a reusable glass bottle, welsh cakes and a nice bottle of drink waiting for you in the kitchen. Beds made up and the most wonderful towels waiting for every person. Tea coffee and sugar all supplied. In the cupboards are an array of cupboard essentials. Treats, poop bags and towel, throws for the lounge. Games and books to use at your pleasure. Dog friendly places to eat close by and just a short drive away plenty more to find. The garden centre at Ewenny do a lively breakfast also dig friendly. No doubt I shall return for a 3rd time. You can not go wrong staying here. It is one of those places if the weather has a bad day you will be comfortable just staying in. Bonus is the hot tub if you are into that sort of thing.

  • "We stayed with my two adult-sized children, my parents and my dog."

    Even with full occupancy we had just enough room, although the beds were a little short for my son who is over 6 ft! The location is perfect - an enjoyable walk down to the beach, and plenty of dog walking opportunities. We found plenty of lovely places to eat within a short drive and I was perfectly located for catching up with family and old friends. I'm sure we could have made this a much more active and exciting holiday if we had wished, but we were here to see friends and relax. The kids enjoyed the hot tub, which was well maintained and deliciously warm. Overall a great stay. Thank you!

    This time we had our 11 month old puppy with us and the house and garden were ideal for her. We were able to tuck her create into the kitchen broom cupboard so she could see what was going on but be snug at the same time. The garden was safe & secure for her and being able to walk to the beach in under 10 minutes was great. Thoroughly enjoyed the little extra touches for us and for Cleo

    Louise - thank you for your lovely comment. We love having our guests back to stay, especially when they have a 4 legged addition. We are glad to hear you had another happy stay and you are all welcome back anytime xx Property Owner

    It was extremely clean very homeley, comfortable and everything you need for the perfect home away from home. The beds are so comfortable and of the highest quality. The view from the back bedroom window is to die for. The towels were so thick and soft and of the best qualit. I can not say anything bad about the place. It was the best place I have ever stayed. Food bowls for the dog plenty of throws for the dog to sleep on, treats and poop bags. Every little thing thought about to make your holiday great. Close to pubs, shops and beaches. I would not hesitate in going again. Loved it.
