Welcoming, comfortable, great location and breakfast.
Great location, handily situated for Barry and Barry Island. Very friendly owners. Great breakfast with both ContinentaL and Full English options. Room basic, but clean, with a very handy fridge. Huge TV set.
The outside of the property isn't necessarily the most welcoming and doesn't reflect the welcoming comfortable accommodation provided.

Lovely owner and friendly staff
Loved the way the owner made you feel so welcome and trustworthy and went out of his way to make sure we were happy with our stay, and he cooked whatever you wanted for breakfast even though it was a pre order the night before he was very accomodating, thank you x
Sadly the stairs and the sloping ceiling, but that is an age thing not the owners fault, the top floor is not suitable for my needs that is why I put no in the expectation box, I found it difficult climbing the narrow stairs. but we had altered our booking a few weeks earlier so we must have getting a room change then.

Wouldn't go back
The location
The room was clean on the surface, but if you inspected it closely it could have been cleaner. The bed was uncomfortable, it was so soft that you couldn’t get a good night's sleep. On the left hand side it dipped terribly so that you could fall off if you rolled over. The shower tray did not drain away very well, so half way through showering it felt you were standing in a paddling pool, with the worry that it would flood through the doors and on to the floor, so we couldn’t take a long luxurious shower.
We didn’t really have much communication with the owners but they seemed pleasant.
However, we only had breakfast on the first day. We ordered up front as requested, there was only 1 of each item on the plate (i.e. 1 sausage, 1 bacon, 1 egg, 1 slice of toast), maybe we could have asked for more when ordering but that wasn’t specified on the form. The sausage was just about cooked, the bacon was rock hard and the mushrooms were salty (I’m guessing they were tinned). The continental wasn’t anything to write home about, 1 tub with cornflakes in, a couple of croissants, bananas that were going black.
We didn’t go back for our paid for breakfast on the second day because of the following. When we had finished our breakfast I was facing the kitchen and they were cooking the next couples breakfast. They got the bacon out of the microwave, he touched it with bare hand and told the lady to put it back in the microwave for a few more seconds, then he put his finger in his ear to scratch it, and immediately after this he was plating up their food with tongues in one hand but was re-arranging the food with the bare hand that he had just scratched his ear with. Then, he was showing the lady something on his phone, leaning over a counter, and was scratching his head while doing this. She then proceeded to put clean plates on this counter without wiping it over first.
If we were to go back to Barry Island I’m afraid we would not be staying here.

It's the only bnb in the area. We would stay there again.
Location was great to the water, hikes, and restaurants. Bus stop was very close. Owner was nice. We liked staying there and it was appropriately priced.
Very low lighting. Difficult to put on makeup. The beds not very comfortable. Some cleaning issues. We went to turn on a fan and dust blew all over. They said there was parking spaces, but street parking only--which was not difficult

OK location with a basic breakfast, but the smell would put me off.
OK location for getting to Barry Island, and they serve a basic breakfast. Check-in was simple with the key left in an envelope.
Heavy dog smell hits you as soon as you enter. The street feels a bit run down. Parking is pot luck around the corner. Room had very low ceilings — easy to bump your head. The place overall feels tired and in need of updating. They have ring cameras everywhere.

Ripped off.
As far as booking.com is concerned, which is a platform i use regularly, this is the worst place that i have ever stayed.
£108, is not acceptable for this place for the night, this would be overpriced at £35 per night.
Shocking, shocking, shocking.
Everything. Absolute disgrace.

Everything. Was really bad. I don't know how it's getting all these good reviews, I can only assume they are fake. The area is awful, very uninviting. Parking a confusing nightmare. Hostel or something opposite of which the occupants had a screaming and shouting argument for HOURS! Finally stopped at 1am. Racing noisy cars and bikes all night long. Room disgustingly dirty and in disrepair. Uncomfortable lumpy bed, got zero sleep with that, the noise outside and a loud vibrating hum that sounded like we were literally inside a fridge. Low beams by the bed, hit my head 3 times and I'm only 5ft 3. Dining room a very odd greasy spoon style cafe, just odd and unpleasant. Whole building needs TLC. I could go on and on. Just avoid. Worth at most £50 a night not £119 that we paid. Awful
