Lovely accommodation in a quiet area providing a good night's sleep. Could have used more options when it came to breakfast.

Very happy
This was a very last minute booking, I just stayed at the barn for one night and was very pleased with my choice. There was a very warm welcome from Barbara, the room was beautiful, warm, clean Cody and had everything I could’ve need. I unfortunately slept in a little too late the next day so missed breakfast, it did sound wonderful with plenty of choice.

Very nice family room, we felt right at home immediately. Phil was pleasant and informative. Took a nice walk around the grounds, discovered the chickens and goats. Clean, highly recommended.

I liked the informality. That the dining area was also a kitchen we could use. There were was a comfy communal sitting area with tv. The bed was comfortable. Everything was clean and just worked. Check in and out was quick and easy. I also liked that there was breakfast included for the bargain price of the room. Ok it was only continental but was sufficient.

Would recommend
Couldn’t fault the B&B facilities and service. And if was fantastic to be able to get s single room. The room was entirely true to the website photos. The owners have put much hard work and pride into sympathetic restoration/redesign/ development of the Barn whilst being most respectful to reducing impact of the building works and daily business on the environment. The only downside to my stay was that my sleep was disturbed by some traffic noise which appeared to be - mostly - the same car (with very loud exhaust) several times during the night. To be fair, I am a light sleeper and there is nothing the owners could have done to improve this.

Disliked: Amenities
Room very small and very hot in recent weather. As covid apparently could not clean room or cook breakfast which we found strange as this was the third place we had stayed and all the other places had maintained rooms and cooked breakfast. Breakfast was therefore minimal - a pack of cereal, piece of fruit, croissant, juice and tea which you got yourself ! Cobwebs in room and shower just soaked the floor over the edge of the bath. Worse thing was the noise from the lorries to the local industrial site which run ALL NIGHT. Apparently there is a new Amazon delivery site and the lorrries ran RIGHT BELOW the window to the room we stayed in. Very loud and just did not stop at all throughout the night. No peace and quiet so definitely do not stay here if you want to sleep. Such a shame and probably no reviews have mentioned it as the issue is quite new. Sorry but for this reason I would not return.

The Barn b&b
Due to the pandemic, the breakfast was a disappointment as a continental breakfast was offered instead of a cooked breakfast. Otherwise it was a nice break and plenty to do around the area, although Margam castle was closed - another thing due to the pandemic.

Warm and comfortable, great wi-fi, all facilities were there. Wind blowing a gale and rain lashing down but due to thick stone walls all was warm and quiet within. In the morning an excellent choice of breakfast too

Like all locations in the UK, the lack of an physical address (i.e., street number reflecting where the lodging is located causes the customer to " literally" "ask people" where the lodging is physically located. At the Barn B&B, this task took about an extra 90 minutes and was completely dependent on finding someone outside nearby who knew where the lodging was physically located. I lucked out and stopped a gate attendant who knew where the lodging was located, thus, gave me directions to get there. Based on not having a "real physical address" to publish on their website, is probable due to the postal service in the UK forcing its people to travel to their local post office to secure their postal mail. This problem could very well cause an expedia customer not to "ever" find their reserved lodging and, thus, request a legitimate refund for their payment to the lodging.
