“Amazing property, very well equipped and comfortable.”

Each room has been well thought out and there is everything available you could need from toddler cutlery to a hoover. The garden was a fantastic size and fully enclosed for our dog, and we enjoyed a soak in the hottub after a long walk. We loved visiting the pigs and ducks everyday. The owners couldn't do enough to help and came round came round straight away when we had a small issue and resolved it for us.

Julie September 2024

“This is the second time we have stayed at The Byre and definitely won't be the last.”

The whole experience is so comfortable and peaceful with everything you could wish for within reach. The piggies have grown a bit but then they are a year older! They still came running towards us with squeals of glee which sets the day off with a big smile. The people on the farm are really friendly, nothing is too much trouble, it's such a pleasure to stay here. Perfect for Sasha, my German Shepherd, lots of interesting and fun walks and beaches to visit. If the weather prohibits beach visits, the large garden and farm tracks are so handy. We highly recommend The Farmers Arms. Amazing Sunday roast with a special bowl of lamb, beef and turkey for Sasha which was a huge winner for both her and me! Thank you so much for having us.

- Julie, September 2024

Thank you so much for your wonderfully kind review Julie! It means the world to us. We are thrilled you all enjoyed your second stay with us. The piggies especially enjoyed their morning rich tea biscuits! Thank you for choosing Sealands and we hope to see you again in the future. Best wishes, the whole Sealands team. Property Owner

Beatrice June 2024

“A beautifully renovated cottage, tastefully decorated.”

Very comfy beds and good quality linen, including fluffy bathrobes. We loved the hot tub and the safe garden for our dog. All the extra touches like dog treats, mats and tags with phone number show this is a very friendly place for dog owners. Great coastal walks on the doorstep without having to take the car. A relaxing and welcoming place. The only

“A stunning hidden treasure on a coastline we had always bypassed previously.”

Julie April 2024

“The Bryre is a beautiful barn conversion!”

We had a great relaxing & comfortable week with the dogs. Such a lovely big garden for the dogs to run around,while we had a very much needed soak in the lovely hot tub after a day of exploring! The beds are so comfortable for a good night's sleep ready for the next day out & about. Some lovely places to visit near by & plenty of dog friendly places to eat. Would definitely recommend any of the lovely barn conversions owned by Emma & David. Hope to see you again soon xx

- Julie, April 2024

Thank for your your review Julie. It is great to hear that you made the most of everything here and that the hot tub was enjoyed! Best wishes, Emma x Property Owner

“We had a fabulous time at the Byre.”

Lucy February 2024

“Excellent property with fantastic facilities.”

Only slight downside was that we had no internet access or WiFi in the property all week. Probably due to the weather affecting it (very rural area). It was a nice digital detox though!

- Lucy, February 2024

Hi Lucy, thank you so much for your feedback and we are sorry about the internet (the weather certainly didn't help!). We have had a whole new system installed so this shouldn't be an issue in future. We are so please that you enjoyed your stay at The Byre and are welcome back any time! Best wishes, The Sealands Team :-) Property Owner
Ruth February 2024

The hosts ( Emma and David) couldn’t do enough to make us feel welcomed. Nothing was too much trouble. They were brilliant! They have created a stunning cottage. The location was fantastic and we really did have the best week.

- Ruth, February 2024

So glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay Ruth! Thank you for the lovely review. Hope to welcome you back in the near future. Best wishes, Emma and David. Property Owner
Matt November 2023

“We had fabulous stay at the Byre.”

Everything was perfect. We loved relaxing in the hot tub. The dog enjoyed her welcome box which was a really lovely and unique. It’s well equipped with everything you need. Everyone from the team was friendly, super helpful and gave lots of great recommendations of places to visit and eat in the local area.

Samantha September 2023

“We had the perfect stay at The Byre and would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing break in South Wales.”

Location is ideally situated to explore the whole South Wales coast and we spent our two weeks exploring everywhere from Newport to St David’s and Barry Island to the Brecon Beacons. The cottage itself is perfect, everything has been thought about and the huge garden and hot tub make it the perfect spot. Simply perfect x

- Samantha, September 2023

Hi Samantha, thank you so much for the great feedback. We are so pleased that you managed to make the most of your two weeks here and that you found the cottage comfortable. It was lovely to meet you all and the lovely Arlo! xx Property Owner

Thank you so much for your feedback Andrew! We are so pleased that you and your lovely dog enjoyed your stay with us. We would be delighted to welcome you back! Property Owner
Julie September 2023

“This was a fabulous find!”

The property (The Byre) was gorgeous, incredibly comfortable and very spacious; the owners had thought of everything. This is, by far, one of the best places we have ever stayed. The garden was perfect for my German Shepherd and the place was situated within reach of so many lovely places to go, particularly with a dog. In particular, we loved Dunraven Castle and Beach. The Farmers Arms (Turkish Mezze) served amazing food - we just wished we had visited it earlier in our holiday so we could have gone back and tried other things on the menu. It was lovely to meet Emma; she and her husband David are an inspiration and have created a wonderful space! Oh - and you have to stop by the Kune Kune piggies, they are bundles of fun (although they are fast becoming "teenagers")!!! Thank you so much for having us.

- Julie, September 2023

Thank you so much Julie- it is so great to hear how you enjoyed your stay here! The pigs are missing your visits! You are more than welcome back any time :-) Property Owner
Charlotte July 2023

“We had a fantastic week at The Byre.”

The cottage was perfectly clean with excellent facilities. The hot tub was used every day! The location is beautiful and within easy reach of the beaches and local pubs / restaurants.

- Charlotte, July 2023

Thank you so much Charlotte! We love to hear back from our guests and are so pleased that you enjoyed The Byre and the hot tub. Property Owner
Stephen June 2023

“Amazing property renovation to a very high standard.”

Great place to stay, with a short drive to everything you need for a holiday. Emma and David are lovely people and anything you need they will help you with. We had a fantastic time and would recommend to anyone

- Stephen, June 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback Stephen- we are so pleased that you enjoyed your time here on the farm. Property Owner
Paul May 2023

“A super cottage!”

Everything we needed! Emma and David have created a lovely set of 3 cottages on their working farm that would be ideal for an extended-family break/holiday! For keen walkers the cottages are a very short walk from the South Wales coastal path, a short walk/drive to lots of beautiful villages/resorts and ideally situated near Bridgend - half-way between Cardiff and Swansea. We were lucky enough to have fantastic weather and 1 week just wasn't enough to visit all the places we wanted to see - we will need to visit again! Looking forward to it! :)

- Paul, May 2023

Thank you so much Paul for a lovely review and we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. See you again soon! Property Owner
Carole April 2023

“Fantastic property.”

Very well stocked with all the home comforts. The hot tub was wonderful. Location is excellent, very close to good pubs, an organic milk 'cow' hut and long walks. Very dog friendly, with huge garden and lovely welcome pack not only for the humans but also the dogs. Owners were very responsive and helpful.

- Carole, April 2023

Thank you very much for a lovely review Carole - we are glad to hear you and the dogs had such a good bank holiday break. Hopefully see you again soon xx Property Owner
