Fantastic Stay Again

This was my second stay in this lovely guest house this year. As before, the room was clean and quiet with everything I needed (and more!). There was a fantastic choice of breakfast items and the host was extremely welcoming and helpful.

This was a last minute trip, we wanted guest house that was near hotel, not far to walk into centre. A quiet location, street parking but seemed safe, just look out for permit parking signs(guest house did give us plenty of information) a good breakfast, so quite a good stay. There was just a couple of things that hadn't been done, mirror in bathroom still had marks on it and there was used and empty complementary toiletries still in the shower, it wasn't a problem but just wasn't nice to see. A good guest house for a visit to Barry Island

Good place to stay as a base

I have stayed here twice before. The welcome from Lyndon is great. The breakfast is freshly cooked and plenty of it. Beds are comfortable and the bathroom was clean. However the wardrobe was in need of repair and the fridge had old food in it. The bedside cabinets had a layer of dust but I base my review on comfort and hospitality

Lovely guest house, would recommend.

We had a lovely stay at Gails. I received a phonecall earlier in the day from Lucy to say that the boiler was not working and they were unable to get anyone to fix it so they would be refunding us half of the cost back which was very nice of them as this was not their fault and these things happen. Checking in was easy, parking was fine, the room was lovely, comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was included and was very nice. If i'm ever in Barry again I would definitely stay at Gail's again. Thank you for a lovely stay :)

Pleasant but work needed

No greeting on arrival, just a few notes regarding door keys, breakfast order a drawn diagram showing limited parking choices. Bed was comfortable. Could probably do with a lampshade over bare bulb in the bedroom. Breakfast not great… the cooking was performed in the kitchen which was part of the dining area ( food boxes stored under the serving table) low quality ingredients, shame. The guest house frontage including the dining area/ kitchen needs some updating.

Lovely little guest house with the convenience of a little shop few doors down. It was close to the train station with the fun fair and beachfront over the road( so everything within short walks) lovely and clean, great breakfast choices! Very friendly staff and added bonus of a mini fridge and fan. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return and recommend.
