Our family of 5 (2 adults, a 9, 8 and 1 year old) had a fab time staying at the cottage. It was well located for many of the things we wanted to do/see including the Welsh Mountain Zoo, Aber Falls and Great Britain’s smallest house. As a single bedroom cottage it was spacious and the kitchen was well stocked (although I’m guessing some guests before us might have had a few accidents as there wasn’t any drinking glasses). The bedroom upstairs had plenty of room for a travel cot and the downstairs sofa bed has a comfortable mattress. We made full use of the grounds around the house and loved playing tennis. The front garden to the cottage was very well kept, freshly cut flowers from the garden we’re also on display in the kitchen and living room.
A couple of points to note however;
1. The cottage is very close to the owners house with a shared, albeit spacious parking area, the kitchen window of the cottage looks directly at the owners house - I feel this is worth a mention as it isn’t really mentioned in the listing - however, in truth it wasn’t a problem. The owner and her family make a conscious effort to provide privacy by shutting all their curtains on this side of the house and minimising the time they spent out the front.
2. With the exception of the kitchen and bathroom the cottage is open planned - there is no door separating the upstairs bedroom from the living room downstairs. This made it a little tricky putting the little one down of an evening.
3. The tennis court and swing area are located to the side of, and via the back of the main house. The swing area is higher than the cottage and main house and had a very steep bank back to the drive. There are steps to this area and for the older 2 children it wasn’t an issue, however younger children need to be closely supervised when outside due to the fall.
Overall we had a fab time, the cottage was perfectly sized and the weather held out for most of the week. We would recommend the cottage to friends and loved the area! We’ve left with happy memories of a great week. Thank you.
