Located around 9 miles from Cardiff and near to the Glamorgan Heritage Coast, it appeals to those seeking both adventure and relaxion.

These cottages have a captivating interior where high ceilings adorned with original wooden beams meet the warmth of stone floors, creating an atmosphere of rustic elegance. Each cottage has an open-plan lounge with plush sofas, which flow seamlessly into a dining area and onto an L-shaped, fitted kitchen, which is well equipped for feeding a crowd. Floor-to-ceiling patio doors in the lounge open to a private, decked balcony, inviting the outside in and offering panoramic views over the Vale of Glamorgan. Sleeping arrangements comprise a king-size and a double bedroom in both cottages, each with an en-suite bath or shower room. The exterior is equally impressive with a sun-kissed lawn for daytime relaxation, alongside a BBQ area, secure bike shed and ample storage for sports equipment.

One of the most popular destinations in the Vale of Glamorgan, Barry and Barry Island combine to form a fascinating seaside town.

Head to Cardiff for city shops and restaurants, events at the Millennium Stadium, and all-weather activities including an indoor water park and international white water rafting centre. In the other direction, the Glamorgan Heritage Coast boasts 14 miles of unspoilt coastline and spectacular wildlife-watching opportunities.
