I truly hope to return again one day, to enjoy the peaceful nature scenes, and feel cozy in this beautiful home-away-from-home.

Kim & Paul are the best hosts I've come across. Really kind, hospitality second to none. Helped with our luggage, no questions asked.
The apartment itself was delightfully decorated and beautifully appointed. Everything was thought of. Great views across Southerndown. Bed super comfy and had a great night sleep.
Wouldn't hesitate to book again, lovely stay with lovely people 😊thoroughly enjoyed being there, felt just like home. Nothing Not to like....
- Katherine (10/5): Wonderful stay, hope to return - The apartment was beautifully furnished with everything you needed and spotlessly clean. The location was perfect, lots of lovely places to walk from the doorstep and plenty of places to eat nearby. Very friendly hosts.
- Stephen (10/5): If you want to escape for a few days or for that matter weeks, it's a pefect place to do so. - We loved everything about this apartment, the decor the level of finishes, the bathroom, bedroom and the lounge area, so well laid out. The place was spotless probably the cleanness place we have ever stayed in.
The property is run by Kim and Paul who have put their heart and soul into the house, and it shows.
We had sea and panoramic views across the coastline. Southerdown is a wonderful little place, and the accommodation is on the road to Dunraven Castle and is blessed to have a wonderful restaurant a few doors down the road and other pubs and restaurants nearby.
- Susan (10/5): Delightful in every way! - A beautiful and stylish apartment with stunning views, very close to the sea. It has everything you need but is simple and uncluttered. Spotlessly clean. A relaxing and delightful place to stay. There is nothing not to like!
- Maire (10/5): Late summer break with walking & swimming. Exceeded expectations!! - Fantastic location in walking distance of the beach. There is no shop in Southerndown but we had brought most things we required with us. The apartment is beautiful, scrupulously clean and stylishly furnished. Really comfy bed. Kim and Paul are excellent hosts, very welcoming and relaxed. We ate out in Frolics on our last night, a perfect end to a wonderful break. There was nothing not to like but just a suggestion…a laundry airer could be really useful for drying wetsuits and swimming stuff for guests that are brave enough to venture into the sea (as we did and it was gorgeous)
- Lucas (10/5): Stunning place with great view and friendly owners - First of all, Kim and Paul, the owners, were so kind and helpful. They really made everything possible for us to feel welcomed and cared for. The property itself was modernly equipped, large, comfortable and had all the needed ammenities. The view from the rooms (there is a kitchen, a bedroom, a living room and a bathroom) is gorgeous. One can definately spend there a long and good holiday while travelling the beautiful coastline. The property is on the third floor of an old home, which requires going up narrow stairs. For us it was no issue or problem though.
- Michael (10/5): A sunny and relaxing stay in Southerndown. - The owners could not have been more obliging and helpful. The flat was spotlessly clean, well equipped, beautifully and tastefully furnished with meticulous attention to detail providing a restful and comfortable experience. We couldn't find fault with anything about the accommodation.
- Lauren (10/5): The perfect relaxing weekend away. - The woodlands property was absolutely beautiful, with stunning decor in a fabulous location. The balcony was perfect to just sit and admire the gorgeous views and the beautiful beach was only a short walk down the road. Everything about our stay was perfect and we would love to return. Thank you again Paul and Kim for your hospitality,it was lovely meeting you both. There was absolutely nothing to dislike.
- Robert (10/5): Fabulous. We will definitely come back ( for a third time!) - Clean, modern, spacious and private. The parking was on the main road directly outside the house. Just a bit of a worry with a new car
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional -

Fantastic spacious apartment which has been renovated, furnished and decorated by Paul and Kim to a very high standard.

Felt very tranquil and restful as on the second floor and windows double glazed.
Wonderful views across countryside and towards the Glamorgan heritage coast. We particularly liked the glass fronted balcony and would enjoy sitting out there on a warm day
Many good places for walking locally.
Many good pubs and places to eat out or get a take away locally Lack of dedicated car park but parking on a side road was satisfactory
- Ralf (10/5): Exceptional - Would thoroughly recommend this property. Paul and Kim were superb hosts and the apartment is perfect for a 2 person stay.

When we arrived Kim met us and was so helpful and enthusiastic and offered us plenty of information about the local area. She showed us around the apartment and explained to us where everything was. I have to say that we were both absolutely blown away with the apartment. It was so beautifully presented and so well equipped that we both felt we wanted to move in and live there. The attention to detail in the presentation, furnishings and quality of equipment was exceptional. This really was a luxury apartment of the very highest standard. Every room was beautifuly furnished and equipped with everything you could want or need. We did not want for anything during our stay and we were so relaxed and able to enjoy our surroundings. Our stay at Woodlands was memorable and we will definately be back in the future. I would like to thank Paul and Kim for providing us with a truly magical few days and look forward to returning. We both wish you every success. Many thanks.
