Description

The Stables is a character reverse-level cottage resting in the rural spot of St Athan.

With exposed beams and bricks, The Stables is an attractive and homely spot for a family trip to this part of Wales, within easy reach of the popular seaside resort of Barry.

You are greeted to the property with private off-road parking and a private front patio with furniture so you can enjoy you morning coffee in the fresh air.

Stepping in the property, the ground-floor boasts an immaculate double bedroom with storage for guests to unpack, and a single bedroom with an ocean blue theme and a pull-out bed which is great for children.

The ground-floor also boasts a cupboard with the washing machine, and a stylish, white-tiled wet room so guests can get ready in style.

Climbing up the red-carpeted staircase, there is a spacious sitting room with high ceilings, exposed beams and plenty of seating to enjoy an evening of good television.

Whilst in the kitchen/diner, you can whip up an evening meal to enjoy round the dining table, as you toast to a wonderful holiday.

The stunning cottage is completed with a cloakroom for guests on the first-floor.

Take a short drive or walk down the country lane and into St Athan where there is a Post Office and two convenience stores so you can grab any essentials, or if you fancy a night out, there are two ideal pubs, The Roost and The Three Horseshoes, both of which serve yummy meals and local ales.

Nearby, you can enjoy a stroll along the pebbled beach at Llantwit Major, or walk along the surrounding cliffs to enjoy breathtaking views of the ocean.

Don't forget to enjoy a day in the town of Barry where you can find the interesting ruins of Barry Castle, as well as a sandy beach and a bustling dock yard with a lighthouse and views of Bendricks Rock.

Also in Barry you can take a thrill seeking adventure to Barry Island Pleasure Park, enjoy a range of eateries, take a ride on the Barry Tourist Railway, or visit the Stacey's home from the popular sit-com of Gavin and Stacey.

For a magnificent holiday to this part of Wales, choose The Stables as your homely base.

The Stables was of an exceptional standard.

It was extremely spacious in the kitchen/ dining area and also the lounge. Everything you needed was provided for. Its quiet location was in a lovely village with a Co op supermarket literally 5 minutes away. Barry Island was reached within 15 minutes. We saw John, the owner, a couple of times and who was very helpful with info of the surrounding area . Would thoroughly recommend The Stables.

A fabulous cottage.

The owners have obviously put a lot of thought into the design of the property and the layout of the furniture and fittings so that it really did feel like home from home after a day out exploring the area. Everything in the cottage was top quality and easy to use. Plenty to do in the area and we were blessed with superb weather so we're able to do a wide variety of things. Our thanks to Terri and Jon for a memorable stay.
