When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.

Having stayed for a week in dove cottage we couldn't have found anything better Tina the owner was very helpful and the cleaning was impressive, thank you for making us feel safe in the middle of the pandemic , all the facilities were there plus more. Location was just right and there was plenty to do although it was bookings only, the pub we found was the six bells and the best place to eat by far, thank you and we look forward to staying again

Thank you for booking with Best of Wales and your lovely comments.
This property really gives the best of both worlds as you are near to the City of Cardiff and all that it offers. Yet the beaches and also the Brecon Beacons are within easy reach.
Hope to welcome you back again soon

Highlight farm. Barry. Wales
We absolutely loved our holiday. We rented Dove Cottage, it's beautiful. Clean and well presented with all you need inside and out. Very peaceful, a short drive gets you to Barry Island beach and Cardiff. The extra touches like providing tea, coffee and much more were a brilliant and welcome touch. Thank you Tina.
Will definitely be returning. X👍😀

A must stay
This property was way above what was expected for the price we paid. So much thought has gone into the decoration, furniture & all the extras in this property are amazing. Kitchen just had everything! The owners were extremely friendly & helpful, but best by far was the stunning views from the sitting room. Ideally placed to explore Barry & to travel to nearby Cardiff. Will definitely be making a return visit, best cottage we have ever rented!
