Outstanding property, fresh, light, clean and beautifully appointed. We enjoyed a lovely breakfast and appreciated the friendly, helpful hosts advice on places to visit in Cornwall. There is off road parking and only a short walk to restaurants. Highly recommended, great value.

A lovely clean, modern guest house, comfortable room, good breakfast and the hosts were so friendly. It is close to the beach front and not far off the motorway. I enjoyed my stay there so much that I will be back.

Another guest house which was full recommended Protea Guest House and we weren't disappointed. A tastefully decorated pleasant house with everything in our cosy home from home room that we needed including a hair dryer and towels but most importantly a tea tray! Only about 30 metres from the sea front and even less to The Royal Pavillion if you... More

Nothing negative to say about this guest house. A warm welcome; clean, modern and comfortable rooms. Good breakfast that set us up nicely for the day. Parking is on the road but plenty of space. Would definitely stay here again.

A delightful cosy Guest House in the very heart of Porthcawl with fairly easy parking close by. Top class well appointed rooms and very friendly hosts - highly recommended. I personally will not be seeking other accommodation if returning.

Derek & Elaine welcomed us and our 18-month old daughter like family for our 2-night stay in Porthcawl - our travel cot fitted perfectly into the spotless, comfortable and tastefully-decorated twin room with space to spare and they whisked out a high-chair for us in the morning along with a delicious home-cooked breakfast. The town centre and seafront are just... More
