Cardiff Wales Airport is only 5 minutes away by car making the cottage a great location to stay before or following a flight.
Barry has recently shot to fame again due to the TV series Gavin and Stacey and Barry Island is only 2.5 miles from the cottage.

Porthkerry Country Park (1.5 miles away) is a large park great for family fun, bbq’s and also has an 18 hole pitch and putt course.

There are also many all-weather activities available including an indoor water park and olympic sized pool and the International White Water Centre.

The farm itself has a colourful history, dating back pre 17th Century and was once owned by Sir Williams St John who was a vice-admiral who famously captured Sir Walter Raleigh and also jailed for piracy.
