Roadside Cottage is located in the pretty village of St Brides Major, in the Vale of Glamorgan. A two minute walk brings you to a shop, post office and the Fox and Hounds pub. Slightly further on is the Farmer's Arms overlooking the village pond. Both pubs serve good food and real ales.
Walkers will relish the area, not only for the 14 mile Heritage Coast path, but also for the numerous walks from the cottage across fields and open countryside. The sandy beach at Southerndown is only 1.5 miles by foot, 2 miles by car.
There are a wealth of activities available locally - golf, horse-riding, sea fishing and surfing to name but a few! For mountain bikers, the Afan Forest Park offers a variety of fantastic trails (about 45 mins away).
The traditional resorts of Porthcawl, Barry and Penarth are only a short drive away. Cardiff lies 20 miles to the east of Roadside Cottage, with its exciting waterfront bay development, international rugby stadium and superb shopping. To the west you can explore Swansea, the Mumbles and the Gower - an area of outstanding natural beauty.
