Heritage Cottage In Stunning Rhondda Valley With Amazing Views By STAE-Homes

All

Nothing

Parking was always easy on the far side of the street.  Unsure if we got lucky or this is always an added bonus. The wifi was excellent in reliability and speed. The dining room furniture is sturdy.  The chairs are not wobbly, which helps with our wiggly younger boy. The chandeliers in the dining/living room are adjustable if you need a dim light at night and forgot to bring your own night light. The back patio will not win any photo contests but served very well as a place to have coffee.  It was also a useful place for our boys to talk together with their imaginative outside habits, as if at a park. Much appreciated. The bathroom is nice.  The shower feels good. My wife is very sensitive to fragrances.  The soaps, dishsoap, and shampoo were all relatively fragrance-free. The kitchen was very well equipped.  As usual for a rental unit, the large knives were sufficient but could be sharper.

The only bathroom is upstairs, so if your party has mobility issues this might be a deal-breaker.  The beds are what we would call “slightly firmer than medium”, so if you can only sleep with a very soft bed, this might be a deal-breaker.  (Neither was a problem for our family.) The water pressure in the sink is very high, so be cautious to not turn it on too much, or the "waterfall" style spout will splash you. The shower/tub requires a high step to get into, which again might be an issue if your party has mobility issues. (For our family, this was only slightly awkward for one person.) The washer/dryer is very noisy when drying because it makes some pipes shake.  Do not try setting a laundry load to dry right before going to bed. The decorative throw on the bed was washed without fragrance-free laundry detergent (so we brought it downstairs because it made my wife's eyes water).  This minor fragrance issue was better than average for rentals we have used. :-) The bedding includes a bottom sheet and a nice soft duvet, but no top sheet.  With summer weather, having a top sheet would have been a useful alternative. We know from speaking with local relatives that in this part of Wales the use of a top sheet as well as the duvet is something only some families do.

Clean and well equipped good location close to train station, the park, the pub and the heritage centre which is a must to visit! comfortable beds, good sized bathroom with plenty of space to put stuff! There was outside space across two levels which was great for the sunny days.

If I could add 2 things it would be a full length mirror close to a plug socket to dry hair and a more powerful shower!

This was comfortable, spotlessly clean, spacious and had everything you could possibly need. We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment.

The location is absolutely stunning...so many places to visit close by.. And the views are beautiful. The cottage was perfect for my family & the dogs . The cottage has numerous public transports options right on the doorstep.

Unfortunately we were unable to activate the heating one evening, when it turned a little chilly one night. Seems to be operated by the hive system
