We picked Olivia House as it was close to our friends who were having a surprise party and we would certainly stay their again. The room was lovely with the most comfortable bed we've ever slept in!

We recently visited Porthcawl for a wedding. Olivia House was recommended to us by the bride and it certainly didn't disappoint! Annette welcomed us warmly when we arrived and that hospitality did not stop, nothing was too much trouble. The room was comfortable, breakfast was well cooked and there was plenty of it even for the biggest appetite. All in... More

Great location just off the sea front. The Olivia bed and breakfast is a very individual with it unusual decor. Breakfast was good, Annette is very friendly would recommed it to others and would stay here again. Several good pubs near and places to eat.
