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.

A perfect property in the Vale of Glamorgan

The property was beautiful with everything provided. The owner Jane had also left some basic groceries for us to make our stay easier. The views are lovely and there are lots of places to visit locally as well as being so close to Cardiff.

Beautiful Holiday Accommodation

Loved spending time with our family at "The Gallops", so much was provided we didn't need any thing more. We had a warm welcome of home-baked Welsh cakes and bread, milk etc.... (so thoughtful) a real home from home, the children loved the huge outdoors space and their dog too. The property was spotlessly clean and comfortable....we definitely recommend this fantastic place you won't be disappointed!!!

Holiday August 2018

Loved our stay in this beautifully restored barn. Jane has taken great care to make holidays here a joy. Lovely Welsh cake on arrival and Jane popped in to welcome us to the property. It is great for dogs, they could run in their own field, whilst we sat and enjoyed a coffee on the patio. It really is a home from home and a little piece of heaven on earth. We would have no hesitation in booking this property again. Thank you Jane for a wonderfully relaxing break.

Wonder Wales get away

Walking into this cottage and viewing the property brought tears to our eyes. Six tired American Travelers were overjoyed by the accommodations, the location, and our host. Whenever you book anything on line there is always a little doubt in the back of your mind, that vanished instantly. The cottage was remodeled beautifully. Everywhere you looked you could see a labor of love. Every room was welcoming and comfortable and then you walk out into the back and are awestruck by the beauty of the view. Jane the host and owner thought of everything you could need and even left us a welcome basket of essentials including freshly baked Welsh cakes a local favorite, which we really enjoyed. She went out of her way to ensure the safety of my adult children when they went out for the evening, caring for them as a parent would. We spent three night wishing it was longer and planning a return for a longer period.

Great stay

Everything about our break was great. Fab, quick communication with Jane prior to stay. Check in process easy and Jane very kindly allowed us to leave cars at the cottage before official check in time. Beautiful cottage with everything needed. Location was just excellent too. Wonderful countryside but a quick drive in to CardIff itself. Thanks Jane!

Beautiful Location

We loved the location of the little barn. The drive through the narrow hedge lined roads really added to the experience. The house itself was perfect for what we needed. Plenty of room and well equipped. The little welsh cakes that were left for us were delicious and very much appreciated. Jane was a wonderful host who responded quickly to any messages and was very accommodating.
