"Lovely, friendly staff who will go out of their way to help you. Nice, clean beds and rooms. Everything you need. Would be nice to have a hairdryer in the room instead of having to ask for one, but this is only a minor inconvenience. We didn't use the bar or have breakfast there as we were visiting relatives near by. Excellent stay."

"The Gallops was lovely, comfortable and clean as well as being dog friendly, this has not always been my experience of holiday accommodation. The host, Jane, was great and visited us on the evening of arrival to check we had everything we needed. The barn itself is beautiful and situated well for exploring the Vale of Glamorgan, as well as being equipped with every convenience. The grounds feel secure and are very peaceful, we had fabulous weather and made the most of sitting in the garden. I would highly recommend and will definitely return."
