West Farm Southerndown Coastal Retreat

West Farm Southerndown Coastal Retreat, formally The Barn at West Farm, is set to open in June 2021. All set within the converted barn which sits on the cliff tops between Dunraven Bay and Ogmore-by-Sea, the venue will include a café that will be open all year round, offering light lunches, snacks and cakes made from local ingredients. The retreat will also feature three luxury self-catering properties, including a renovated farmhouse and two high-end apartments, all set on the cliff-top next to some of the best beaches in Wales.

“West Farm sits in one of the most enviable locations in South Wales,” says Katie Phillips, the project director. “It’s on one of the most popular routes for walkers and cyclists, a short walk to some of the best beaches in Wales and has some incredible views over the sea. Everyone in the area knows and loves the property, so we wanted to create something that Southerndown could be proud of and rely on, including a great quality local café where everyone feels welcome from cyclists and dog walkers to local families and tourists visiting our beautiful coast. As restrictions lift in Wales, we also hope to hold lots of exciting events at West Farm, including live music, art exhibitions and family events. We are proud to be breathing new life into this local treasure and supporting the region’s economy wherever we can. We know that there are so many couples who would love to have a beautiful coastal wedding here. However, until we can offer our couples the very best experience, without strict restrictions, for now, we will only be taking names to be added to our waiting list for next year.”
