In a restful setting, this recently renovated 17th-century country house is close to the centre of a historic village and the Glamorgan Heritage Coast. It has a peaceful bar and lounge, enlivened with the occasional antique, vintage typewriter, old portrait – good for a leisurely afternoon tea. The pristine bedrooms, some compact, have a comfortable bed and a breezy palette; dog-friendly rooms are provided with a towel, a dog bed, ‘lovely doggie treats’, and have hardwood flooring and easy access to the walled garden. All-day light bites and British classics (including good vegan and vegetarian options, perhaps oyster mushroom and champagne risotto, blue cheese) are served in the atmospheric restaurant; on fine days, the action moves out to the courtyard.
