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.

Everything about this accommodation and property is exceptional.
The Old Barn offers accommodations in Barry, 12 miles from Cardiff Bay and 13 miles from Cardiff Castle. This bed and breakfast features free private parking, a shared kitchen, and free Wifi.
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 .
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.
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.
The location was great, a very warm welcome and beautiful rooms, very clean and comfortable.
We only stayed one night but would 100% recommend and will be returning.
Location is great for Barry Island and all the Gavin and stacey fans with Gwens House being walking distance.
It is a must to book.
A very nice, clean and well equipped apartment.
Both the bed and the sofa are very comfortable.
Wide bath.
Smart locks/no keys.
Close to shops, bars and takeaways.
5min walk to train station.
4min train journey to Barry Island.
Guests are required to keep noise levels down after ten.
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.
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.
Nice quiet location. Easy parking. Comfortable bed. Every convenience in the flat you have at home and then some. Spotless clean and the host checked to see if you were happy. It didn’t hurt that everyone in Barry was so friendly as well.
The hotel was quaint and comfy. The room was very large and well-lit. The restaurant was welcoming and served a delicious dinner. The staff was polite, very helpful, and made us feel very welcome.
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.
