The history of the building is fascinating. A 17th C building made from stones of the nearby ruins, Penmark Castle.
Terrific hosts and kind folks at the pub next door.

Lovely hosts, barn quaint, room tired but beds extremely comfortable.nice corner of Wales
Wish we could have stayed longer! Such a great experience to stay at the Old Barn and walk around the neighborhood. Loved the pub next door and our too-short visit. Recommend.
What a great place to stay, very well organised, clean and comfortable. It is very easy to find, and despite being close to the airport we didn’t hear anything. Lovely little pub too.
Lovely little gem set in a pretty village.
Host was very welcoming and even gave us updates about traffic en route down.
Clean and tidy room.
Pleasant stay and very comfy bed.
Lovely old barn full of character. Easy to find location. Pub next door. Friendly host that was more than happy to accommodate my very short overnight stop. Had everything I needed to make the trip as comfortable as possible. Would happily stay again.
The loveliest b&b with extremely nice hosts. The room was comfortable and spacious. I used the taxi service Andy Cars to get there from my work appointment and then the following morning to get to the Cardiff airport. The local pub closed recently but Jill (one of the hosts) recommended using Deliveroo and I was able to get some good vegan Indian food. It was a very homey stay and I’m happy to have gone off the beaten path! A great visit.
The Old Barn is always my first choice of place to stay when I’m working nearby in Llandow. Cosy, comfortable and characterful (in a good way) rooms and a really pretty village location.
The only reason I wouldn’t stay here is if there wasn’t availability.
Delightful room, lots of character, with ensuite shower. All very clean. Extremely comfortable beds. Tea/coffee making facilities. TV, hairdryer. We enjoyed a lovely cooked breakfast. Parking available (very tight entrance). Would definitely stay here again.

Ok but not a 10
I picked this because of the picture, the ratings and the name. It is ok . We travel for two months every year for the last 6 years. How any one can rate this place a 10 is beyond me. I almost never give negative reviews because I don’t want to hurt someone’s business. If I’m disappointed I just keep it to myself. However I got fooled by so many people giving it a 10 so I feel obligated to inject some reality into the reviews. The town is a 10 . The pub is a 10 perhaps (it’s closed on Mondays and Tuesdays so we’ll never know for sure) The location to the airport is a 10. The breakfast is a 6 at best….most mediocre in 3 years. It is a good hostel-like accommodation with nice owners. Base on the last 50 B&B’s we’ve been to a 7/10 would be good.
Stayed overnight before an early flight from Cardiff. Perfect location 5mins drive away from airport and in a lovely village with the most amazing pub next door! Rooms are cosy and comfortable and handy kitchen area downstairs which is shared with room opposite, but it works really well. Highly recommended. Great welcome from the lovely hosts too.
