Located in Barry, Glamorgan, Wales, this property is a luxury guest room in a peaceful 9-acre country estate in the Vale of Glamorgan. The room, situated in the former dairy of the estate, features original 18th-century details such as a stone vaulted ceiling and a window that was once an old coal shoot. The atmosphere is enhanced by soft lighting, luxurious furniture, and a king-size bed with fine linens. The en-suite shower room includes a walk-in rainfall shower, and guests have access to a shared laundry room with a washing machine.
While there are no kitchen facilities, tea and coffee making facilities are provided, and guests can enjoy the estate's gardens and grounds for a quiet stroll or picnic. A key safe allows for self-check-in, and the communal grounds are available to guests of the manor house and all apartments and cottages on the site. Guests can offset carbon emissions for a small fee and have free access to an electric vehicle charger. Check-in is from 16:00 and check-out is by 10:00, with a non-refundable deposit required for bookings.
House rules include no smoking or parties, keeping noise to a minimum, and allowing up to one small dog for an additional fee. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times. The apartment is located in Saint Athan, a rural area near the beach, with activities such as the Church, College, and Lighthouses Walk, Brynhill Golf Club, and cycling and hiking trails to explore. Shopping options include Cardiff Market and Queen Arcade, while sports fans can attend events at Principality Stadium or Cardiff City Stadium.
