Compare and book 3 Star hotels in Barry, Cardiff

Located just a few short miles from Cardiff in the Vale of Glamorgan, Barry is famed for its good-time seaside feel and wonderful beaches. If it’s sand, fun and candyfloss you’re after, then this is the place for you. There’s also a huge range of affordable and comfortable three star hotels in the town too, largely thanks to its reputation as one of South Wales’ top holiday resorts.

Best Hotels for Being by the Seaside

The large sandy beach at Whitmore Bay is one of the finest in Wales. It’s a huge, sweeping golden crescent with great access along the promenade. And because it’s protected from the road, kids can play here safely, which is great news for parents. There’s also the long pebble beach that stretches from Knap Point to the most southerly point of Wales, with this part of the coastline having a large tidal range, meaning the beaches are huge at low tide.

The beaches at Barry Island, at the southern tip of the town, are ideal for spending a few days together as a family. There is plenty to do for all ages, including building sandcastles, eating ice creams, amusements, miniature golf courses and much more. This is a classic British seaside resort with all the usual trimmings. With lots of three star hotels just a stone’s throw from the beach, you could be ideally situated to make the most of your break here.

Exploring Barry Beyond the Beach

Of course, there is more to Barry than just the beach. For golf lovers, as well as the crazy golf courses, there are three full-size 18-hole courses nearby for a round or two. You can also take in a rugby match – this is South Wales, after all. Plus, with Cardiff just a short trip away, there is a football team as well as all the shopping you would expect from a major city.

For anyone looking to enjoy some time in the great outdoors, there is the Porthkerry Country Park, which is home to over 220 acres of woodland and meadows. Stroll through the trees and down to the nearby pebble beach surrounded by spectacular cliffs. Of course, this being South Wales, you’re never too far from plenty of rolling green countryside and picturesque valleys to explore. And with the Pembrokeshire Coast and Brecon Beacons not too far away, you’re close to some of the UK’s most beautiful walks.
