Excellent Value for Money. We booked for just the one night as visiting family in the area and just needed somewhere to rest overnight. Gail's Guest House provided everything we needed. My wife and I had the twin en-suite on the second floor; you need to be ok with stairs as no lift, but the beds were comfortable, the room and en-suite very clean and lovely and quiet at night. We had no trouble finding free on-street parking just around the back of the Guest House and had our own key for easy access at any time. Cooked English breakfast items were pre-ordered by 9pm the previous evening with options for a 30-minute time slot to suit. Lyndon and Claudine were in the open-style kitchen / dining room the next morning to cook / deliver our cooked breakfast as ordered. Other self-serve buffet style tea, coffee, juices, cereals, fruits, yogurts etc. were also available as required. Lyndon and Claudine were on hand for any little extras and couldn't have been more cheerful and polite. All-in-all, a clean, well run, comfortable family guest house at amazing value for what you get. Thank you.

Great location for visiting Barry Island

The location of Gail's Guest House was perfect for our stay. The included breakfast was a nice touch. We appreciated the wifi code along with emergency contact details being given to us on arrival with our key. The host was very welcoming.

Fantastic Stay Again

This was my second stay in this lovely guest house this year. As before, the room was clean and quiet with everything I needed (and more!). There was a fantastic choice of breakfast items and the host was extremely welcoming and helpful.

This was a last minute trip, we wanted guest house that was near hotel, not far to walk into centre. A quiet location, street parking but seemed safe, just look out for permit parking signs(guest house did give us plenty of information) a good breakfast, so quite a good stay. There was just a couple of things that hadn't been done, mirror in bathroom still had marks on it and there was used and empty complementary toiletries still in the shower, it wasn't a problem but just wasn't nice to see. A good guest house for a visit to Barry Island
