Fantastic short stay

Really lovely guest house in a quiet location but just a short walk from the railway station and centre of town. The room was very comfortable, the breakfast excellent and the host extremely welcoming.

Excellent Value for Money. We booked for just the one night as visiting family in the area and just needed somewhere to rest overnight. Gail's Guest House provided everything we needed. My wife and I had the twin en-suite on the second floor; you need to be ok with stairs as no lift, but the beds were comfortable, the room and en-suite very clean and lovely and quiet at night. We had no trouble finding free on-street parking just around the back of the Guest House and had our own key for easy access at any time. Cooked English breakfast items were pre-ordered by 9pm the previous evening with options for a 30-minute time slot to suit. Lyndon and Claudine were in the open-style kitchen / dining room the next morning to cook / deliver our cooked breakfast as ordered. Other self-serve buffet style tea, coffee, juices, cereals, fruits, yogurts etc. were also available as required. Lyndon and Claudine were on hand for any little extras and couldn't have been more cheerful and polite. All-in-all, a clean, well run, comfortable family guest house at amazing value for what you get. Thank you.

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

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.

Perfect for barry island and cardiff.

We stayed to go to the rugby at the principality stadium.perfect location as it was 5min from the train station. The staff/owners were so friendly and the bed was really comfy! The room was clean and spot on for what we wanted and the breakfast was fab!. Next time we are down this way we will definitely be re-booking!

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

We arrived before check-in but were told our room was ready and we could go straight up. The room was light and airy and clean and modern. Lucy our host was friendly and very welcoming. We chose our breakfast for the next day but changed our minds at last minute. Lucy was very accommodating and met our wishes without fuss. I would highly recommend a stay if you want somewhere on Barry Island close to the beach literally 10 minutes walk.

Room was comfortable but needed a really good deep clean - dust everywhere - the fan could not be used as it was so clogged up. Owner did replace it with another fan which was also dusty! Net curtains were ripped and needed a jolly good wash. Breakfast was delicious.

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.

Misleading free parking!

Quite an old building with maybe 8 rooms spread over 3 floors with steep stairs. Generally happy but I feel the parking claim is very misleading hence my lower rating. "Free' parking is just street parking and there is not that much of it, so you could be unlucky, though we came back early so we were ok.

Arrived late was our Fault, but didn’t realize, missed orders for breakfast until went to Dining room next morning. We were told no cooked breakfast for us , because need to arrange before the day. Ready? Just frying bacon , eggs …nothing complicated. Just gave us toast and coffee. If you are booking there, make sure arrived early , if you’re the breakfast person!

Very convenient for the beach and Pleasure Park. Clean and tidy rooms modern decor. The TV didn’t work and Lyndon couldn’t get it working. Maybe a problem with the aerial? Radiator was hot when we got there after 4pm despite it being 23 degrees outside. Breakfast okay, nothing special. Better quality sausage would have been nice and more, thinner, brown toast.
