The Barn B&B

Had such a lovely holiday. We were only here 3 short days but it has been beautiful. Phil has been very welcoming and we were able to have a cuppa when we arrived as they provided a lovely welcome basket. The dogs came and said good morning one morning which was lovely. We had more stuff than we needed in the kitchen and even towels and soap were provided which I didn't expect. I've had everything needed for a Sunday dinner. We've borrowed the fire pit and had a couple of evenings roasting marshmallows over the fire under the stars which 2 of us have never done before! Very clean and homely. I love the size of the mugs! Quality crockery and I keep finding more cloths and equipment! Genuinely had a lovely weekend and sad to go.

Comfy bed, warm and cosy, very friendly welcome. Nice hot shower in the morning. Good parking, and easily located. The b&b has creatively arisen from some beautifully restored listed farm buildings, with judicious use of recycled items, such as local floor boards, the attention to detail is evident in the quality of the reconstruction/renovation. Ate at a nearby local pub in the evening (we’d already decided and booked, but this turned out to be one recommended by our hosts.), As we were meeting family for lunch we didn’t partake of breakfast, so cannot comment on this aspect. Would happily return when visiting the family again.

We had three nights at The Barn. Phil and his staff made us very welcome. The room was lovely, full of character and with a very comfortable large bed. The breakfast was a 'help yourself' buffet which we loved. Phil's croissants which he baked each morning were wonderful. It was a handy place to stay, as we enjoyed Margam Park, Rest Bay and Aberavon beach. Do not be put off going there by its proximity to Port Talbot ex steel works. The stunning, unbelievable weather first weekend in April helped of course, not a cloud in the deep blue sky for all four days. We would love to return and continue our chat with Phil about farming etc. Thanks for a great break. JH
