This former barn, a luxury getaway for a family or two couples, is situated on the northern edge of the handsome seaside town of Barry and close to the stunning Glamorgan Heritage Coast. The town of Barry itself is just 2.5 miles away, with plenty of places to eat, drink and shop, a pleasure park, tourist railway and, of course, the lovely sandy beach of Whitmore Bay. The property is only 9 miles from Cardiff and, with great road, bus and train links (Barry station is just 1.6 miles from the cottage), it is an ideal place to stay while attending a sporting event in the Millennium Stadium or elsewhere in the city. As well as its huge selection of shops and restaurants, Cardiff offers many all-weather activities, including an indoor water park and Olympic pool, and the International White Water Centre.
The property is one a pair of adjoining holiday cottages that won an award when they were converted in 2015. All on one raised level, it has high ceilings, beautiful original beams and stone floors. The open-plan lounge/dining area has comfortable leather sofas and fully glazed bifold doors that lead to the balcony – so you can throw them open and enjoy the feeling of space and fresh air. The kitchen at the far end of the room is fully equipped with cupboards, worktop space and utensils – perfect for preparing a snack or a family meal. The pretty double bedroom with its en-suite shower room is beyond the kitchen, while the king-size bedroom and en-suite bathroom is just off the lounge.
Outside the cottage a large, lawned space (adjoining the neighbouring property) gets the sun all day. There is a BBQ on site, a secure bike shed and storage space for sporting equipment. Directly off the lounge is a private, decked balcony with superb views over the Vale of Glamorgan and the Dyffryn Country Estate.
