“The Butterfly Guest House clearly excels at personalized hospitality, even offering rides to wedding ceremonies when taxis proved scarce. The meticulously clean rooms and thoughtful extras, like chocolates and well-stocked beverage stations, speak to a commitment to guest comfort; plus, upgrades to suites with claw-footed baths are a delightful possibility. It's a gem that elevates a Porthcawl visit.”
