Our Vale of Glamorgan Holiday Homes by the Beach

The Vale of Glamorgan is becoming increasingly popular for a South Wales coastal holiday, especially if you want beaches, seaside towns and countryside all within easy reach of each other. Set just west of Cardiff, the area includes popular places such as Barry, Barry Island, Penarth, Llantwit Major and Southerndown, so it gives guests a good mix of lively seafront spots and quieter stretches of coast.

There is plenty to see across the area. Barry Island remains one of the best known seaside attractions, with sandy beaches and a traditional holiday atmosphere, while Penarth is popular for its seafront and pier. Further west, the Glamorgan Heritage Coast is one of the main draws, with dramatic cliffs, coastal walks and well known beaches such as Dunraven Bay at Southerndown. Porthkerry Country Park is another popular place to visit, adding woodland, open space and a beach of its own.

For accommodation, the Vale suits many different kinds of holidays. Some guests want beach cottages close to the shore, while others look for properties with sea views across the Bristol Channel or along the coast. Dog friendly cottages also work well here, especially for guests planning coastal walks, and there are larger holiday homes suited to family gatherings and group breaks too.
