Woodpecker Barn

We were made most welcome by our hosts.

In a lovely location with good amenities provided.

Friendly owner, quiet location, comfy beds, spacious, clean - highly recommended.

Lovely barn that was very clean and spacious.

The beds were so comfortable, we had the best nights sleep for a long time!

Accommodation was wonderful, clean and tidy and we felt instantly at home Owners were lovely and on hand to answer any questions We would highly recommend staying here and will happily book again

Really enjoyed our stay at Woodpecker Barn.

Actually saw the woodpecker on two occasions. Our stay was to attend a concert in Cardiff on the Saturday evening. Excellent location, would definitely stay again. Denise and Chris Burke Nottingham

Very Spacious, Clean and Comfortable Cottage.

Super modern kitchen and dining area, comfortable beds, nice area to sit outside. A couple of little niggles, the TV remote is worn out (instructions provided on how to switch on without using the remote) making it very difficult to control, also, although WiFi signal was strong its internet connection kept dropping out.

Woodpecker Barn is perfect in every way.

It far surpasses anywhere else we have stayed! Tim and Sally are very kind and accommodating and helpful. Super week there!

We always stay at Woodpecker Barn when we visit our son.

It is a real home from home, we wouldn’t stay anywhere else. It is always exceptionally clean and is very well equipped. Tim and Sally are excellent hosts and always leave a very thoughtful welcome gift. Thank you for another wonderful stay, we will be back soon.

This is our 3rd consecutive year of staying at Woodpecker Barn, and it Is always a pleasure walking in the front door to see a spotlessly clean Holiday home.

The owners Tim & Sally are a lovely friendly couple who will be on hand if needed but leave you alone to enjoy your stay. Lots of great places to visit without travelling miles, we were out everyday all day and still lots left to do for our 4th visit next year. Pat (Hampshire)

Excellent stay.

Lovely cottage, beautiful setting. I would love to stay again. Thank you.

This was our second visit to Tim & Sally’s farm and it was such a lovely stay again, they are excellent hosts.

Woodpecker barn has everything that you need for a lovely relaxing holiday. I love watching the birds in the back garden. Very dog friendly with nice secure garden for them to enjoy. We will definitely be back for another stay in the future. Deanna,Mark & Alfie.

We had a wonderful weekend at Woodpecker Barn.

The accommodation was spotlessly clean and well equipped. We were able to cook several meals with ease. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of storage space and hangers! We enjoyed being surrounded by countryside and were able to take advantage of the outside space. The hosts were very friendly and we enjoyed meeting them. We wouldn’t hesitate in returning and highly recommend a stay.

We had an enjoyable stay in this lovely barn conversion.

The outdoor space was also enjoyed in the beautiful weather we had, and it was great that it was fully enclosed so our dog could enjoy it too. We will return if we’re planning a stay in the area in the future.

Beautiful barn, great location and lovely hosts.

Very refreshing to have such an honest description of a property.

No nasty surprises. One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in. Excellent location for visiting the coast, the countryside and the cities. All this and a lovely couple. We will return.

Woodpecker Barn was superb and perfect for our stay.

A really lovely find !

This is one of the best cottages we’ve stayed at and we will be going back again.

There is only one very very small request. It would be useful if you could provide a small towel in the kitchen not just a tea towel. As I said this is something very small and certainly wouldn’t stop us coming back another year.

Lovely comfortable and very clean cottage.

Great location for visiting South Wales. Nice views and added interest from the visiting birds on the feeders including the regular Great Spotted Woodpecker. Thoroughly recommended.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Woodpecker barn, Tim and Sally wonderful hosts!

The barn had everything required for a lovely stay. Lots to do and see in the area and only a 10 minute train ride into Cardiff from pontuclun.Will definitely be booking again !

Woodpecker Barn was delightful.

It's in a beautiful location, yet convenient for the motorway. It's a lovely conversion and has everything one needs for a wonderful break.

We had a fantastic stay at Woodpecker Barn.

This is our second time of visiting and hopefully it will not be our last. Sally & Tim are lovely friendly hosts, and tell you of nice places to visit. The barn was exceptionally clean, and well equipped with everything you need for a lovely stay. Hope to visit again soon.

Woodpecker Barn is ideal family accommodation in a wonderful location where you are made very welcome by Tim & Sally.

The barn conversation has been beautifully completed to a very high standard and contains all the facilities you would require. An added bonus is the lovely garden area, where you can relax just watching a large variety of birds feeding including Woodpeckers ! Would definitely recommend Woodpecker Barn for a family stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Woodpecker Barn.

The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. The secure garden was a bonus, we loved sitting on the patio watching the birds every day and not having to worry about our dog escaping was lovely. The Barn although in a rural setting is perfect for exploring South Wales, we did lots of day trips and enjoyed the, all. The barn is well equipped, very clean and the fittings are of a high standard. We would definitely stay again and will recommend to others. Thank you for a lovely relaxing break.

Very lovely barn in very nice location.

Thank you we couldn’t ask for more. I highly recommend this cottage.

Super cottage, beautifully furnished, loads of kitchen equipment, toys for children, dog bowls almost everything you need, fantastic

Excellent very well equipped in a quite location watching the birds was lovely we have never seen a woodpecker or nuthatch before.

Shops & eateries easy to get to by car.

A beautiful barn conversion.

Comfortable and cosy with the added views. Hosts are warm and welcoming. Great place to stay for a relaxing break or to simply discovering the area .

A really wonderful place.

Fantastic amenities, all the comforts of home and lovely hosts. Would definitely recommend

Thank you for our lovely stay.

We were more than happy with the cottage! It was clean, cosy and had everything we needed whilst travelling with 2 small children. We really appreciated the little personal touches from our hosts (Christmas decorations!!) who were also friendly and helpful during our stay. We wouldn't hesitate going back for our next trip to South Wales!

My very positive feedback can be found in the host's Guest Book.

It is an extremely well-appointed and comfortable property (an excellent barn conversion). Great location - well placed for the varied attractions that the Vale of Glamorgan has to offer.

One of the best holiday cottages we have stayed at, and the only one we are returning to next May.

It’s in a lovely quiet location, with lots of places nearby to visit. Hosts were very friendly and on hand if needed. Our last holiday here was only 4 days but next years will be 7 days as there are other places we did not get time to see. The cottage was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you would need.

Very clean and well-equipped cottage.

Thank you very much.

A fabulous property - roomy, comfortable, very well equipped and in a good location to access the attractions of the South Wales area.

Good secure area of lawn and patio to keep the dog happy, as well.

Absolutely wonderful cottage.

Immaculately clean - which is rare for a lot of dog friendly cottages. The farm is wonderful and peaceful. It was lovely watching the Woodpeckers on the bird feeder. The weather wasn’t kind to us but the spacious cottage made sure we were comfortable being inside all day. We brought our 8 month old baby with us and the main bedroom had so much space that it made it so much easier to navigate bath times, bedtime etc. The cot was a brilliant size and our daughter was super comfy every night. Tim and Sally are wonderful hosts and we will definitely be rebooking!

Fabulous property, wonderful location and super friendly hosts.

A fabulous welcome, thank you!

The property is beautiful, clean, light and spacious. Very comfortable bed! A brilliant nights sleep. Loved the carpet on the top floor too, so thick and lovely to walk on haha A beautiful location on the farm, great views of the woodpeckers on the bird table outside. Lovely walks around the countryside yet still so close to the M4. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Woodpecker barn was very comfortable and homely.

Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Spacious and in a lovely rural setting. Very peaceful and quiet. Host were friendly and helpful, gave good recommendations for where to go and for restaurants. When the fridge was not working properly it was replaced instantly. We had a great fortnight and can highly recommend Woodpecker Barn

We had a lovely week in Woodpecker cottage.

Tim and Lucy were very helpful and were always available and happy to let us know where to go in the surrounding area. The cottage was immaculate and very comfortable

Perfect location for us, ideally located close to places of interest let and good places to eat close by.

Very quiet and the owners are helpful and available when needed but not intrusive. We hope to return, this was our second visit and just as wonderful as the first.

What a lovely property woodpecker barn very clean beautiful furniture.

Owners very helpful and friendly. In a very lovely area , a lot to do and see in the area. Easy reach to shops and restaurants. Garden very safe for my dogs. Will go back.

Thank you for lovely stay for the week, friendly welcome by Tim & Sally.

Great location with Pontyclun down the road, and short drives over to Barry Island & Porthcawl. Talbot Green nearby for local amenities too. Woodpecker Barn was as described and everything thought of with everything you needed. Had lovely rest during our stay. Once again thank you for pleasant stay. Les,Stuart, Charlotte & Jazz(Dog)

Fantastic property, would highly recommend and hope to return soon

We loved our stay in the woodpecker barn.

Tim and Sally greeted us on arrival and spoke with us whenever we passed in the yard. They made sure we had everything we needed and the barn was well stocked with everything. Special thanks for the prosecco. It went down well when our friends came over for dinner. A special treat was the woodpecker being a regular visitor to the bird feeder in the garden. Well placed accommodation for what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect holiday property with everything that we needed and more.

Excellent location, close to everything and everywhere that we wanted to visit, but also very quiet to give us the peace that we needed as well.

We had a lovely stay in Woodpecker Barn, Tim and Sally looked after us like we were old friends!

The Barn was spotless and cleaned and maintained to a high standard, we had everything we needed, the countryside was beautiful, even though it was winter and frosty, the underfloor heating kept it warm, we would have no hesitation in coming back! Our dog loved it too! Thanks Tim and Sally

Woodpecker Barn is a wonderful place to stay.

It is in a quiet area and the quality of the conversion is excellent. We have felt really at home here. Tim is an excellent host and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be coming back here when we next come to the Cardiff area.

Lovely converted barn.

Extremely comfortable and owners very helpful. Good location for walking, access to Cardiff, coast and mountains. Would definitely recommend.

Great place to enjoy a relaxing holiday loads of places to shop eat and sightseeing,the barn itself was a luxury loved every minute of our stay and we were looked after by tim who is a lovely man with lots of information about where to go if we needed to,I think the holiday would be great for any age group

Well located for Cardiff, countryside & the coast.

Spacious, well equipped & spotlessly maintained. Extra bonus for dog owners is having access to empty, securely fenced fields straight from the door, as well as local walks. What really makes the difference is how friendly and helpful Sally & Tim are - even driving our son & his partner to the local train station when needed. They invite suggestions for improvement in the visitors book but we struggled to come up with any!

The cottage is in an ideal location to explore coast, country and city.

It was so charming and relaxing. Meeting the owners was a pleasure as they were so friendly. As our first holiday with our new puppy we were so pleased to have chosen this cottage as Lucy had a great time.

Sally and TIm were the perfect hosts in a lovely property.

Woodpecker Barn was the perfect basasm 5

Very pleasant and comfortable.

Friendly hosts. Please add a butter knife to the inventory.

Barn.

Conversion done to a high standard was very clean and spacious. Our hosts were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Very quiet spot but within walking distance of the shops and some very good pubs/ restaurants. Cardiff and beaches only half an hour away. Would definitely recommend.

Great cottage and very easy to find, just off the M4.

Cottage was immaculate and well maintained, owners helpful and nothing was too much trouble. 1 bit of feedback maybe a lamp in the upstairs hallway so when you wanted to use the bathroom you would not have to switch all the hallway lights on. Overall an excellent cottage..

Really great cottage and lovely owners.

Everything was well thought through, with all the amenities you could need. We really enjoyed our staff and would definitely recommend.

Great stay.

Very sunny property with big patio doors and beautiful views. Loved hearing and seeing all the birds and squirrels. Really warm and welcoming hosts. They left a bottle of drink and chocolate and thought of all those little touches that make your holiday homely. Very tastefully decorated. Open plan space and gorgeous farmhouse/ country kitchen with everything you could need. They even had a dishwasher there. Brilliant hosts, the underfloor heating was a real treat and the location was pretty countryside but very easy trips into Cardiff etc. Both bathrooms clean and warm and had some very cosy baths. Peaceful setting and you instantly feel relaxed and on holiday. We will be back again!

Everything about the property was excellent.

Thank you Tim and Sally.

We had a wonderfull time during our stay at Woodpecker barn the owner's Tim and Sally were brilliant and very helpfull the area was good for places to visit especially St Fagans near Cardiff where you could easily spend a full day,we do intend to return next year.

A beautiful and well maintained cottage.

Tim & Sally were on hand but never intrusive. Really lovely couple, cottage and location. We will definitely be back!

The owners were lovely and helpful, the welcome pack was a nice surprise, the farm is in a rural and quiet location.

Overall, well worth the visit.

Fabulous location for sightseeing local area.

Relaxing, well equipped and modern. Exceptionally clean and very friendly hosts Highly recommended stay.

Everything about Woodpecker Barn was just perfect!

Could not fault it at all. The owners Sally and Tim were on hand for all our needs. Very welcoming and had exceptional local knowledge. The Barn itself was equipped with a complete range of essentials. We would highly recommend this property!

Woodpecker barn was outstanding!

A great location and very well presented and clean. The owners were so lovely and accommodating. I will be 100% recommending to our family and friends.

Delightful new barn conversion on a working farm with everything you need for a warm, comfortable stay.

The owners live next door on the farm, were friendly and helpful which added to our enjoyable holiday. A welcome pack was sent by email beforehand giving details of the house, which was spotlessly clean and fresh for our arrival.

Woodpecker Barn is a gorgeous property set in a beautiful location.

It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and welcoming. The owners are very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely stay there again and would highly recommend.

Woodpecker Barn was a high quality and well speced cottage offering everything we wanted.

It’s a beautiful space in a wonderful location.
