About the property

Carnation Cottage combines eight luxury, self-contained properties into one quirky and flexible accommodation solution for up to 22 guests. Five (Hollyhock, Mimosa, Muscari, Sunflower and Lotus Cottages) are apartment-style cottages housed within the estate's original stable block. The other three (Camassia and Fritillaria Cottages) are housed within the sensitively restored bakery and dairy and vault where features include the original 18th-century cheese press. Meanwhile, the grounds of the estate invite you to walk in the gardens, admire the sea views in the distance or visit the resident alpacas. Great days out include delightful beaches, the Wales Coastal Path and the charming town of Cowbridge.
