Goodstay Self Catering Accommodation

Goodstay Apartments offer a stylish, modern self-catering base in the vibrant seaside town of Barry, Vale of Glamorgan. Set within the regenerated Goodsheds development on Hood Road, these contemporary apartments combine designer interiors with the freedom and space of your own home — an excellent choice for couples, families and longer stays exploring South Wales and the coast.

Contemporary apartments in the heart of Barry

These are smart, design-led apartments in one of Barry’s most talked-about destinations. The Goodsheds is a reimagined high street built around independent restaurants, an outdoor gym, a cinema, a farmers’ market and a rooftop bar, so there is plenty on the doorstep before you have even thought about getting in the car. The apartments enjoy a strong 8.2 out of 10 guest rating from 215 reviews, reflecting their comfort, convenience and central location.

The apartments

Accommodation comes in one- and two-bedroom apartments, furnished to a high, contemporary standard. Each has a fully equipped kitchen, a private bathroom, heating and a washing machine, giving you everything you need for a genuine self-catering stay — whether that means a quick breakfast before a day out or a proper home-cooked dinner. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout, and thoughtful touches such as express check-in and check-out, on-site security and an outdoor seating area make stays easy and relaxed.

Space and self-catering freedom

The real appeal of an apartment is the freedom it gives you. With your own kitchen, living space and laundry, you can come and go as you please, eat when it suits you and spread out far more than in a single hotel room. That makes Goodstay especially well suited to families, groups of friends and anyone staying a little longer who wants a comfortable, independent base in town. Please note the apartments are non-smoking and pets are not accommodated.

Barry and the Vale of Glamorgan

Barry is best known for Barry Island, with its broad sandy Whitmore Bay beach and lively pleasure park — and, more recently, as a much-loved filming location for the television comedy Gavin & Stacey, which still draws fans to the town. The apartments are around an 18-minute walk from Whitmore Bay, with the wider Glamorgan Heritage Coast, the seaside town of Penarth, Cardiff Bay and Cardiff city centre all an easy drive away (Cardiff Airport is just 3.7 miles). For more places to stay in the town, see our guide to Barry accommodation.

The Goodsheds setting is part of the appeal in its own right. Staying here means stepping out into a lively, independent food and drink scene, with the option of a meal out, a coffee or a drink on the rooftop without ever getting in the car. For families it strikes a nice balance: the seaside fun of Barry Island is a short walk or drive away, while the apartment gives everyone room to regroup, do some washing and cook a relaxed meal at the end of a busy day.
