Home

I've never felt so much love and hospitality at a stay. Mrs. Ceri was an amazing host. Her home felt like home. We dreaded leaving and coming back to the States. I don't have enough words to describe how greatful we are to have had so much an amazing host. We can not wait to visit/ stay again. We are already missing are home away.

A real gem!

This is such a lovely property - we really enjoyed our time here. Beautifully kept, inside and out. Very comfortable and love the windows. Super convenient as it is a very short walk to the train platform. Also, a short drive to some amazing beaches. We would definitely stay again! Thanks for a great stay, wish we would've booked a longer time here!

Lovely lodge

A very pleasant and cozy lodge that's well equipped. Lovely couple that run the lodge who were very friendly. There's some fantastic countryside within a few minutes drive. The only downsides where that there's a working man's club next door which can be a little noisy. And the train line also runs at the bottom of the garden (the clue's in the name) but they don't run late and are running quite slowly as they go past.

Catching up with old friends

We were in the area for a for a friend’s birthday party but decided to stay for a long weekend making the most of the beaches at Porthcawl and Ogmore. The property is very well appointed and finished to a high standard and served as a great base for the weekend. It has it’s own private garden and was very peaceful. One big benefit is being close the the railway station from which it’s only a 30 minute trip into Cardiff.

Everything you need and more

Property brilliant. Well equipped and clean. Could get there on public transport as station 5 mins away. Pubs and foodie places a short walk into town and bigger franchises at the deigner outlet which is 3 miles away. The Mumbles and west Wales less than an hour in the car and Cardiff the same on the train. Very easy. Wonderful.

Gepflegte Oase zur Erkundung von Südwales

Station Lodge ist ein geräumiges, sauberes und zweckmässig eingerichtetes Ferienhaus wo alles funktioniert: Warmwasser, Dusche, Beleuchtung, Internet und genügend Steckdosen in jedem Raum. Man fühlt sich gleich wie zuhause. Ceri und John, sind sehr aufmerksam aber bewusst zurückhaltend, so dass man seine Privatsphäre ungestört geniessen kann. Dies nicht nur im Haus, sondern auch auf der Terrasse mit einem kleinen "walled garden" und oben auf dem Balkon des Schlafzimmers, wohin morgens die Sonne scheint. Ja, es hat einen Club nebenan und einen Zug, welcher ab und zu von der zu Fuss nur 2' entfernten Bahnstation hinter dem Haus vorbei fährt, aber das sind alltägliche Geräusche die zum Leben gehören und nicht stören. Zu 99% dominiert ohnehin das fröhliche Vogelgezwitscher den "Outdoor-Sound". Der extra reservierte Parkplatz direkt vor dem Hauseingang und der in nur 8' zu Fuss (2' mit dem Auto) erreichbare Lidl runden das ganze Paket hervorragend ab. Der Standort bietet somit eine hervorragende Basis, um abends nach Ausflügen von Swansea und Gower (45'), den Brecon Beacons (50') oder von Porthcawl (20') und natürlich von Cardiff (30' - mit dem Zug 45' zur Central Station) zu entspannen und den Tag Revue passieren zu lassen. Auch gibt es mit dem Auto nur ein paar Minuten entfernte Möglichkeiten zur Verpflegung in Restaurants und Pubs. Bridgend selber bietet auch alle grossen Superstores (ASDA, Tesco, Sainsbury's) und natürlich das nur 5' entfernte Outletcenter zum Shoppen an!

A wonderful short stay!

We booked a last-minute short stay at the lodge and only wished we'd booked for longer. From the start of the booking process to checking out communication from the host was excellent. The Lodge itself was cozy and clean and had everything we needed. The welcome pack was a nice touch and the boys enjoyed the welsh cakes as much as they enjoyed watching the trains from the balcony. Would definitely stay aging when we're next in the area.

Fabulous Holiday Cottage

We just loved our stay. Comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, and pretty private garden with covered patio and balcony. The welcoming touches, like fresh bread and Welsh cakes, were much appreciated. Very convenient to Bryngawr House, so perfect spot to stay if you’re attending a wedding and want to be close by. Hosts were helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

Station Lodge

What a find this was! Tucked away on the small road that leads to the railway station we had no idea what expect but boy - iit turned out to be a gem! Ceri and John were perfect hosts. The Lodge is even better than the photos but mind your head on the sloping ceiling in the bedrooms if you're tall! It's a lovely size, well equipped and toasty warm. The welcome tray was a nice touch and much appreciated and we loved the Christmas decorations. Although the lodge is right next door to the railway club and train track the double glazing kept out any noise and we enjoyed the odd occasion when we saw the train go past. Thanks for a great stay (10 days)

Autumnal Half Term Break at Station Lodge

Lovely, comfortable and clean property with everything we needed for our stay. Much appreciated welcome goodies on arrival. Perfect location for exploring Bridgend County and surrounding area and a very easy/stress free day trip by train to Cardiff. Helpful and friendly hosts. Even the weather was much better than forecast! Would highly recommend staying at Station Lodge.
