Fab touches with sweets and cookies in room. Complimentry continental breakfast in the morning. Not far from the beach. I ran the Porthcawl Park run which was only round the corner. Will definitely be back. No parking but we found somewhere on the street outside the guesthouse which wasnt a problem.
- Ron (10/5): -
- Plant (10/5): -
- Kenneth (10/5): A very pleasant break. - A complimentary continental style breakfast was laid on so that was a nice touch. The room had an ample supply of beverages (something not so common these days), so that was nice too. There was even a supply of toffees and sweets. We've stayed in many places in Porthcawl. This was the best.

- Hilary (10/5): - The hostess, Ellie-May, was very friendly and welcoming. Butterfly Guest House is spotlessly clean! Has a very home from home feel. The room we had was very spacious and it even had a fridge. Beds were very comfy. Property is very close to the sea front. Not applicable!
- Elizabeth (10/5): Extremely well thought out to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Spotlessly clean. - Excellent location, centre of town and close
to the promenade.
- Valerie (10/5): Wonderful stay - From the time we arrived it was absolutely amazing Eelli the host greeted us and what beautiful lady she was the room was perfect from the decor and the cleanliness is absolutely fantastic the host should be very proud of the hotel it's the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in a big thank you for our stay Everything was perfect
- Wayne (9/5): -
- Francesca (8/5): Very nice - Room was lovely, very clean, owners left us to it. Loved the little touches like the 24/7 help yourself breakfast, and little treats in the room, bed was super comfy, location was great! You could hear guests very clearly in next rooms and throughout the house, take ear plugs if your a light sleeper, also the plumbing made noise too.
- Steve (10/5): -
- Ben (10/5): -
- rachel (9/5): Well priced friendly staff - Warm and cosy Na
- Lesley (9/5): - Well presented guest house with great host! We had a spacious and comfortable room, well stocked tea and coffee in the room. Guest house within 5min walk of Esplanade and town centre.
Would definitely recommend this guest house for a stay in Porthcawl! Nothing to dislike
- FIONA (10/5): An enjoyable stay with attention to detail, an excellent host, would recommend highly. - Even though Ellie had received excellent reviews, so the bar was set high, she didn't disappoint at all. Ellie upgraded our room. which was a real bonus, and the room itself was very well set out and beautifully decorated. As had been reviewed the breakfast was good. with a real coffee machine, and I appreciated being left to have breakfast in peace. We could also have taken it up to our room. The breakfast room was well laid out and everything was very clear.
Communication with Ellie was excellent. Although the room was well organised and well set out despite the restrictions of the space available, with useful hooks etc. I felt that the bathroom could have benefitted from a shelf to put my lotions and potions on. That's all!
- Averis (10/5): Relaxing night away - Everything.
Ellie couldn't do enough for us. Nothing

It was beautifully clean and tidy, the room had everything we needed and the bed was very comfortable. Communication with the owner was spot on and it was a couple of minutes' walk to all of the amenities in Porthcawl. For what we paid for the room we really couldn't have asked for more. If we visit again we will definitely stay here again. Nothing to add here. The place was excellent!

Just a small thing the traffic in the morning probably would have been a nuisance but as we were keen to get up and moving it wasn't a factor for us.

- Rosie (9/5): Perfect place to stay for a weekend at the rockabilly event in Hi Tide - Beautifully decorated, clean, everything you would want for a short stay thoughtfully provided by host On a bit of a noisy road, but that couldn’t be helped
- Camilla (8/5): Great guest house option in centre of Porthcawl - Host Ellie-may good communicator, guest house is in the centre so short walk to the restaurant & was lucky enough to get a street parking spot outside the guest house. I was kindly upgraded to a larger room (free) which was helpful as I had all my golf clubs with me.
- Pete (10/5): Fantastic - Great location for my trip
Near restaurants and beach
- david (9/5): Very comfortable accommodation, close to the beach. - Spotlessly clean. Nice persona touches in the room. Easy access to key. 2 minutes from promenade. Comfortable. I didn’t realise it is continental breakfast only. Not a big issue. Room 1 is fine for one person but would be tight for a couple staying a few nights.

- Donna (10/5): -
