We spent a night here after touring Swansea for the day. Porthcawl was a pleasant surprise but Helen and Foam Edge were an absolute delight. Helen is a charming hostess and recommended an excellent local restaurant. You shouldn't leave without having her "special" breakfast (and a taste of her laverbread). Our spacious room had a breathtaking view overlooking Bristol Channel,... More

Have just returned from an Easter weekend break in Porthcawl.. Have stayed at Foam Edge many times and always warmly welcomed. Fantastic new bathroom with double shower. Views from enclosed balcony are amazing and so relaxing just to sit and watch the world go by. Looking forward to returning again in August.

My husband and I recently visited Porthcawl to visit relatives and to try out the new Coastal path as we love walking. We were delighted with the accommodation and welcome at Foam Edge. Our spacious room overlooked the sea and had spectacular views. The whole house is very tastefully and elegantly furnished throughout and our bathroom certainly had the wow... More

We cant complain about the cleanliness. The room looked nice and the view was glorious. But: we have spent two nights in winter there where there has been only a one kilowatt fire which was inappropriate for this room. When we explained that the next morning after a truly extreme cold night to the host, she first offered us an... More

Lovely rooms, great hosts and fab breakfast. Would not hesitate to recommend this B&B jewel to anyone and we will definitely return as and when looking to stay for a night or two in Porthcawl! Helen went out of her way to find a hangover cure, and the Foamedge special was really good.

Our host Helen was lovely and helpful. The location of the home was sensational. We had a wonderful ocean view. The room was beautifully decorated and well appointed. The bed was so cosy. One of the best B & B s we have stayed at!

We were very impressed with Foam Edge, situated on the seafront in Porthcawl with stunning views from our room which was named Tusker Rock. We had an excellent night sleep in the super kingsize bed, the room itself was very quiet and had many thoughtful little extras. The house is tastefully decorated throughout with attention to detail. There is plenty... More
