The Vault, located in Barry, Glamorgan, Wales, is a charming guest room designed to accommodate two guests, featuring one bedroom. This unique accommodation was once part of the main Cheese House Cottage, specifically utilized for cheese storage from the dairy above. Constructed in the 18th century, The Vault is situated in the basement of the cottage and can be accessed through original stone steps, offering a sense of history and character that is woven into its fabric.
The interior of The Vault beautifully marries historical elements with modern comforts. Among its notable features are a stunning vaulted ceiling and a window that once served as an old coal shoot, providing guests with a glimpse into its storied past. The room is equipped with contemporary amenities, including a luxurious walk-in raindrop shower and an en-suite bathroom, which is stylishly separated by a bespoke glass partition. The overall design balances original features with high-end furnishings, ensuring a comfortable and memorable stay.
Guests will find a king-size bed in the room, alongside tea and coffee-making facilities and a small fridge for added convenience. The Vault also encourages visitors to explore the estate's gardens and grounds, which are home to a variety of friendly animals, including alpacas, sheep, chickens, swans, and ducks. This connection to nature enhances the tranquil atmosphere of the stay and provides a unique experience for those looking to unwind.
Situated near the coast in the picturesque neighborhood of Saint Athan, The Vault offers easy access to local attractions. Notable landmarks such as Saint Fagan's Castle and Insole Court are nearby, while shopping enthusiasts can explore Cardiff Market and Queen Arcade.
