Y Fro is a stunning, spacious holiday home on the edge of Barry, in the Vale of Glamorgan — a luxury group property perfect for big family gatherings and celebrations. Made up of two matching cottages side by side, it sleeps up to ten across four bedrooms, with private balconies and a large garden, just a short hop from Barry Island and the beaches of the Glamorgan Heritage Coast.

A spacious group house near Barry Island

Contemporary, comfortable and finished to a high standard, Y Fro is designed for getting everyone together while still giving people room to spread out. Arranged as two linked cottages, it has four bedrooms — two king-size and two doubles — and four en-suite bathrooms, so every room has its own facilities. With two fully equipped kitchens, it is especially good for two families holidaying together or a larger group sharing.

Room to relax

Outside, there are private decked balconies to enjoy the air, a large lawned outdoor space and a barbecue for sociable evenings. There is also a secure bike shed and storage for sporting equipment — handy for active groups exploring the coast and the city. It all adds up to a relaxed, well-equipped base for a memorable group break.

Where it is

Y Fro sits on the northern edge of Barry, around two and a half miles from the town centre and just nine miles from Cardiff. Barry is famous for Barry Island, with its sandy Whitmore Bay beach and pleasure park, and as a filming location for Gavin & Stacey. You can browse more places to stay across the area on our Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan accommodation page.

Things to do nearby

This is a great base for combining the seaside with city attractions. Whitmore Bay on Barry Island, with its beach, funfair and tourist railway, is a classic family day out, and the dramatic Glamorgan Heritage Coast, with its layered cliffs and fossil-hunting beaches, stretches westward. Cardiff is a short drive away, packed with attractions — the Principality Stadium, the castle, Cardiff Bay, an indoor water park and the International White Water Centre — while the elegant seaside town of Penarth and its Victorian pier lie in between.

Who it suits

With room for ten, four en-suite bedrooms and two kitchens, Y Fro is ideal for large families, groups of friends and celebrations where everyone wants to be together but still have their own space. Its position near the coast and close to Cardiff makes it equally good for beach days, city sightseeing and active breaks alike.

Good to know

Being arranged as two linked cottages, Y Fro works brilliantly for two families or groups who want a bit of independence under one roof, with en-suites all round keeping mornings easy. There is plenty of outdoor space and secure storage for bikes and gear. Booking ahead is wise for school holidays and big-occasion weekends, when this part of the Vale is at its busiest.
