I needed a hotel but as it was a six nations weekend this was one of the few with vacancies. Owner was so lovely and entertaining
This large Victorian building has character. 40 minutes from Cardiff city center and 20 minutes from Cardiff International Airport, and less than 2 miles from the beach.
A 10-minute walk from the beach, Gail’s Guest House in Barry Island offers well-appointed rooms.

Room was very comfortable. Lyndon the owner couldn't do enough and always at hand to help out, nothing was ever to much. The breakfast was lovely. The guest house was very quiet and you never get disturbed.
In the rolling green countryside of Moulton just 5 minutes’ drive from Cardiff, The 3 Horseshoes Inn offers accommodations, a restaurant, and a children’s play park.

Barry Island Beachfront Apartment - Stunning Bay Views and Private Parking is located in Barry, just 8.1 miles from Cardiff Bay and 9.4 miles from Motorpoint Arena Cardiff.
Interesting to see the new and the old. Massive amount of regeneration going on, but still parts that won't have changed in my life time. It's worth a walk round the whole of the "island" not just the promenade. Barry town centre is a bit run down but efforts being made to improve things.

Stayed in Barry as the hotel was A LOT cheaper than Cardiff...
Stayed in Barry as the hotel was A LOT cheaper than Cardiff for the bank holiday/Bruce Springsteen gig. 2 mins away from train station, pubs and chip shop. Ideal for what we needed the weekend.
Barry itself is OK and nearby is Barry Island fair and the beach. Not too far from the airport and half hr to cardiff on the train for £6.

Barry is my husbands home town. It is always good to visit.
Barry is my husbands home town. It is always good to visit. We usually stay in the Vale but this time we thought we would go for a cheaper option on the coast.
We were shocked at how disinterested our hosts were in our plight of arriving late at night due to 2 aircraft malfunctions. We had to stay elsewhere for the first night because they would not allow us entry to the flat despite them taking payment in full from our credit card.
Their main concern was whether we would dispose of the rubbish. There was no broom to sweep the floor. The plastic floor was beginning to peel and there were way too many pots of plastic cactus left lying about the place. Why?
There was a frying pan full of smelly fat left in the oven. the bed was way too small for two people and full of dips from previous occupants. For the first time in 42 years of being together we slept separately, My partner taking one of the single beds. The kitchen taps looked like someone had taken out their frustrations with a hammer.
On the plus side parking was good as was the location.

I stayed in Barry for 3 nights.
I stayed in Barry for 3 nights. I was visiting Wales for the Six Nations at Principality Stadium in Cardiff. There are plenty of hotels in Cardiff, but the prices were all excessive because of the Rugby event. Barry is nearby, a short, 4 quid train ride away from Cardiff Central which is pretty much the center of action, to include a short walk to the stadium.
Barry itself was a nice, quiet detour away from the Capitol city. I enjoyed a few restaurants and bars while staying in this small town.
I did not rent a car. Walked everywhere I needed within Barry.

Having grown up around the area I always love coming back...
Having grown up around the area I always love coming back and seeing the changes that have happened and I'm glad to say , all for the better.
There are some lovely coastal walks and the goodsheds are amazing , it's also nice that you can walk around the waterfront .
it was handy with the 304 outside with the bus going it to barry we stayed and done the gavin and stacey tour, Mike the bike is an amazing member of staff and a credit to your company made our stay alot better really nice to talk to have have a laugh with ( even if he is a little crazy) , all the staff was nice we stayed 2 nights and had our bedding changed on Sunday also the cooked breakfast was one of the best I have had at a hotel, the TV in the room was great with having freeview play and having access to all catch up tv
Very modern property like a home from home.
So spacious and clean.
Enoch the landlord was fantastic.
Nothing was to much trouble.
He also gave us a parking permit for our stay.
The house had some lovely touches. Like the bed tv and massive free standing bath.
Location was brilliant walking distance to gavin and Stacey house. Barry island just a short walk. Shops restaurants also local.
Once we got into the hotel the staff was helpful and friendly. We had checked in early as we were going to a festival near by and they let us put our bags in one of the rooms until the rest were ready.Our rooms where clean and a good size aswell as the bathroom. We went into the bar in the night and the locals were friendly and made us welcome.
The breakfast room is accessible at all hours with all the supplies you need when you arrive for a snack or if leaving early morning. That was great. A quick taxi ride to Cardiff Airport for early morning flights. The room was clean and nicely decorated. The owner and her family who live on the premises were very welcoming when we arrived.
Our stay here was very short as we had to catch a flight at 3am and transport to the airport. Since we were missing breakfast the hotel put together a bag full of food for us to take along. The rooms and restaurant were very good and we were glad we did not have to leave the hotel to find a place to eat.
Breakfast was well-cooked with plenty of options but I would have liked to see fresh fruit or other healthy alternatives available. Plenty of on-road parking available and hotel is within easy walking distance of Barry’s innovative shops and the seafront.
Location was great walk in distance to the train that can take you to Barry island or Cardiff. Trains were running regular.
Good shower and spacious bath.
Staff very accommodating. Had a few issues with our room and they did swap us rooms quite quickly.
Great location for exploring Barry Island (short Drive into Barry) and other local Towns. Spacious apartment, bigger than expected. Near local supermarkets and places to eat, we drove to them within 5 /10 mins. Lovely and peaceful stay.
The breakfast was really tasty and presented hot and timely. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The location was good as it was far enough away from noise and close to train station. We were able to visit Cardiff easily.
great layout for an apartment, plenty of room for 2 people and 1 dog, little outdoor space, good for visiting Cardiff Bay and Barry Island, my daughter and I really enjoyed staying here!
Clean, modern accomodation with parking for two cars. 3 rooms ideal for friends and small families.Good location for accessing Cardiff, Barry, Coastal path and South Wales.
A fantastic location for Barry Island beach and resort. Meryl Was a fantastic host. Taking time out to tell us about the surrounding area and local interests.
