Foam Edge is situated on the seafront at Porthcawl with breathtaking views across the Bristol Channel, North Devon, Somerset and Swansea Bay. Established in 2000, Foam Edge is elegantly furnished and decorated throughout , you can expect high levels of comfort and hospitality. Midway between Cardiff and Swansea, approximately 30 minutes from both and easily accessible from j37 M4. just 10 minutes drive. Foam Edge can be found at the quieter end of the seafront, but within a few minutes walk to the hustle and bustle of Porthcawl town centre. shops and restaurants. Check in is strictly by arrangement.
Im married with two grown up daughters and a quiet Jack Russell called Poppy. I love to cook, read, go to the gym and walk as much as I can. I enjoy decorating, sewing and generally updating the house. As a family, we like to travel, we have a house in Poitou Charentes, France. I love French style interiors, which is reflected in the decor at Foam Edge. My husband and I own a dental practice locally. I have worked at the practice for 30 plus years and now Im taking more time out, concentrating on the day to day running of Foam Edge. I enjoy meeting and welcoming guests from all over the world.
Porthcawl has been a holiday destination for many years, the Welsh coastal path is on our doorstep. We have award winning beaches and stunning scenery. You will always find photographers on the seafront waiting to capture the most dramatic images of monster waves or our beautiful sunsets. There are many shops, restaurants, cafés, water sports and golf on offer in Porthcawl and the surrounding area.
