An ideal site with views over countryside. Easy access to Barry and east, west and north if you want to go further afield. A delightful local pub Cwm Talwg was walkable distance across the playing fields and footpaths of a neighbouring estate.

Tranquil location. Countryside views. Well equipped cottages. The hosts provide lots of essential.. ie.. Hand-wash. Washing up liquid and cloths. Towel. Bedding. Kitchen. Towel. Tin foil. Clingfilm. There was a welcome pack of Welsh Cakes and Crisps and a carton of milk in the fridge.. Couldn't fault the hospitality. There are lots of placeRead mores to visit in south Wales Dyffryn Gardens is a must!! Fagans Castle is a day out too. Waterfalls Country for a lovely waterfall walk.. Mumbles is a pretty seaside town about a hours drive through the hills and lovely scenery on the way..it has a newly built walkway with some lovely cafes and bars. Quaint little shops too.. We didn't find many places around where we could have a Evening meal as most stopped serving at 3pm. So we ate most days when we were out and about. Evening can be spent on the balcony overlooking Barry with a glass of wine and if the sky is clear you can see the sun set. If you are a TV or Games lover that entertain is provided too. All in all A Wonderful home from home. Hide

I felt peaceful and safe staying alone at Y Golomen, with the friendly and helpful owners nearby. It's on the northern edge of Barry, close to all the benefits of this seaside town, including the supermarket just up the road, but is also very quiet and has beautiful countryside views of the Vale of Glamorgan.
