The Great House Hotel a beautiful grade II* listed building is a luxury 3 star hotel in Bridgend and wedding venue. Originating from around 1550, the hotel is believed to have been a gift from HRH Queen Elizabeth 1 to Robert Stanley, Earl of Leicester who used it as a hunting lodge. The hotel is located in the pretty conservation village of Laleston, Bridgend, and is now one of the leading hotels in Bridgend.
Situated on the Heritage Coast with panoramic views over the Bristol Channel and with probably one of the best views in Porthcawl, this very popular and proud Hotel has recently undergone further extensive refurbishment with the addition of a new Orangery. The Fairways is now one of the most up-to-date hotels in the area ideal for a base for business, pleasure or a golfing weekend.
The Coed-Y-Mwstwr Hotel near Bridgend in South Wales is a beautiful, privately-owned 4 star country house hotel justifiably proud of its fine reputation. Few settings are more tranquil than that of the aptly named Coed-y-Mwstwr or "Whispering Trees". Perched on a Welsh hillside and surrounded by over 17 acres of woodland, this Victorian mansion provides a cosy and secluded hideaway overlooking the picturesque Vale of Glamorgan.
We always make a massive effort on special dates like Halloween, Xmas, New Years Eve and on local festivals such as the Porthcawl Jazz Festiival and the Elvis festival. We are known to be at the heart of the Elvis festival since we host a large part of the festival.
The building itself is around 100 years old and is known to regulars and residents as ' The Lorelei'. During the 1st World War, the building was originally two separate buildings, with one half believed to be used as a hospice for the injured and dying soldiers. Many years later, during the 60's, the two buildings were bought by a man named Ted James, an ex pilot who decided to name the pub after the rock headland on the River Rhine, where he first met his German wife.
