Excellent :)

My partner and I had a wonderful stay at The Fox and Hounds. A little haven just up the road from the bustle of Cardiff where we had a brilliant night seeing the Stereophonics. Adam and all staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and attentive, very friendly locals and a brilliant taxi firm recommended who chauffeured us to and from the gig. An absolutely lovely little break away and we are looking forward to returning, concert or not.

We have just returned home from an overnight stay at your place and have to say we were extremely disappointed. The room its self didn’t feel very clean and smelt of curry or something similar. The door was was extremely sticky and had to be almost forced to get both in and out of the room. We stayed in room number 3. The pictures on Expedia are extremely misleading because the room that I booked looked nothing like the pictures displayed online. There was mould around the bath, the toilet was slanted and felt like you were sliding off of it when you sat down and the cistern at the back of the toilet seemed to be coming away from the wall and there were missing tiles too. We wanted to shower but couldn’t shower as there was no hot water which is absolutely disgusting and there isn’t anyone on site to raise the issues with. We got up and left early because we just couldn’t wait to get away from the place.All in all we would definitely never return and would not recommend the accommodation to friends or family.

Barry Island Break

Located in a picturesque countryside village, the pub is welcoming and staff/locals are friendly. No evening food service on the night of our stay so we had to venture to find food. Not ideal after a lengthy drive but nothing in the village. Rooms are basic and a bit tired but generally clean. The shower however is only suitable for persons under 6ft (room 6)due to the shower tray position. We had rowdy neighbours who continued until 2am despite requests to turn the volume down, unable to locate any staff to assist with matter which didn't help. Didn't stay for breakfast so cannot comment on that. A shame really because given its location.

New owner, is turning the business around, couldn’t fault the ambience, service and overall attitude of the staff and owner, the decor is a little tired but given time this will improve with the ambition of the owner. Recommended

Warm, welcoming stay

The landlord has just taken over the property but was incredibly accommodating and friendly. The building is a lovely old inn with all the quirks that come with that and bags of character. WiFi is an issue in the rooms due to the thickness of the walls but it is present downstairs.

Having visited some time before, this is situated by a stunning church and quite villiage and warranted another visit due to a family party nearby. Has been taken over recently and things are going in the right direction as was looking a little tired. Food is great, as are the staff and sence a a great villiage pub

Needs Attention

The room needs attention the bathroom needs replacing. Only half the lights worked in the room. The two halves of the bed were not secured. The water from the basin tap was hardly going into the sink. There was no heating or hot water.
