Porthcawl is a coastal resort and commuter town 25 miles west of Cardiff. It is conveniently located approximately 3.5 miles south of the M4 motorway being a drive of only circa 6 minutes.  The town has a resident population of 16,000 but benefits from over 1 million people living within a 45-minute drive.

The allocated hotel / leisure development site, which we have been instructed to market by Bridgend County Borough Council, has been earmarked within the Porthcawl Placemaking Strategy as providing an opportunity to deliver a high-quality hotel and is situated at the southern end of the Salt Lake ownership with views over the nearby beach.  It is close to completed and current regeneration projects including The Jennings, Cosy Corner, Porthcawl Marina and The Grand Pavilion.

The allocated site comprises 2.1 acres / 0.8 hectares and the Council’s intention is to dispose of the site by way of a long leasehold interest, the details of which will be subject to specific negotiations.

Given the Council’s wider ownership in the area, consideration will also be given a wider mixed use scheme including residential provided the hotel content was delivered as a priority first phase.
