Tucked away in rolling countryside, this is a delightful, relaxed place to stay. The guest house is immaculate and my (twin) room was very comfortable and restfully decorated with an ensuite with shower. The grounds and surrounding views are lovely and you are a short distance from the main A48 with a couple of inns within reasonable walking distance and a short drive takes you to Cowbridge in one direction and a 24hr Tesco/petrol in the other.
I was welcomed, shown a room and left to my own devices although if I needed anything it was easy to get it. Breakfast in the little dining room was very lovely, and I enjoyed sitting outside in the well maintained grounds. The shower was small but absolutely fine, and they have wifi and a computer for guest's use.
I would definitely recommend this for a quiet stay for anyone wanting to get away from it all or as a base to explore the area.

Sunny and welcoming sitting area with free computer and internet. Spacious rooms with peaceful outlook. Friendly and knowledgeable owner. Good breakfast. Nice atmosphere.

As a business man in the process of relocation the Great Barn provides an excellent and most flexible alternative to mainstream hotels. The location is ideal - within 10 miles of the office yet located in a most relaxing rural setting complemented by superb friendly service at all times. Plenty of hot water, individually decorated rooms with a true sense of home and wifi internet access make this is perfect option.

My wife, two children (ages four and seven) and I spent three wonderful days at the Great Barn. We stayed in the family room on the first floor of the Inn. The room was generously large, with a very nice bathroom and an excellent shower. The breakfasts were delicious and the service was beyond conventional expectations. Mrs. Parker and her husband were unfailingly accommodating and helpful.

The Great Barn is a nice change from the hustle and bustle of Cardiff and Barry, offering a very pleasant and quiet change from more urban bed and breakfast establishments. We will definitely recommend the Great Barn to our family and friends traveling in the Cardiff area.
