This large Victorian building has character. 40 minutes from Cardiff city centre and 20 minutes from Cardiff International Airport, and less than 2 miles from the beach.

The location of the Tadross Hotel is ideal for those who want easy access to the capital city of Wales, but without the rush, crush or expense. It offers en suite rooms and free on-site parking (with CCTV).

Once we got into the hotel the staff was helpful and friendly. We had checked in early as we were going to a festival near by and they let us put our bags in one of the rooms until the rest were ready.Our rooms where clean and a good size aswell as the bathroom. We went into the bar in the night and the locals were friendly and made us welcome.

    We were moved to an alternative property for our visit which was absolutely fine as The Nook was absolutely stunning! Beachcliff is a gorgeous complex in the perfect location, just opposite the pier and beach. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of waves was magical! I can’t wait for our next stay here as we will definitely be back!

    Stunning location on the beach, waking up at sunrise to see lots of people swimming in the sea - at 6:45am at the end of September. The apartment is huge and has a wow factor - fittings etc are top notch.

    The perfect cottage in the perfect location with the most perfect views. The cottage is fully equipped with everything you could ask for, and very clean throughout. Barry Island is only a 10 minute drive to the beach and arcades. 5 minute drive to Tesco's to get you're groceries. We will be going back for sure. Lovely hosts that are happy to help in every way. Also they have lovely sheep that welcome you when you step out the car!!!
