My cottage is old, quirky, quite unique and very original. If you like cottages with character you will love this. If you like modern, characterless boxes please don't even consider it. It is situated in a very quiet area but only a ten minute walk from the town centre and Ffestiniog Railway in one direction and the Llechwedd Slate Mine and Zip World Complex in the other. You can also walk straight into the mountains from the doorstep. 10% DISCOUNT FOR COUPLES USING DOUBLE BEDROOM ONLY 1ST NOV - 31ST MAR EXCLUDING NEW YEAR AND CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS Please read the description carefully. The cottage dates back to at least 1834 and is one of the few cottages to escape the regeneration scheme in Blaenau still retaining its lovely old sash windows and original Welsh slate roof. Internally it retains a lot of the original features including a rare Welsh oven - unfortunately not in use. It is also interesting as it's one of the few cottages in Blaenau actually built of slate - which is what the town is famous for. The cottage is a little bit of Blaenau Ffestiniogs history and is mentioned twice on the Cadw (Welsh Governments Historic Environment Service) website. It consists of a lounge/diner, kitchen, bathroom , double and single bedroom. The lounge/diner has two double settees, dining table for four and a FreeSat 32" Panasonic Viera TV + Amazon Firestick with DVD player. There is a small library of DVD's, books and games available. The kitchen is well equipped with an electric cooker, fridge with icebox, microwave, slow cooker and sandwich toaster. The bathroom, unfortunately due to the sloping ceiling, has no shower but there is a bath with a hand held mixer shower and unlimited hot water available. The single bedroom is a very unusual shape with two pretty little windows and the double bedroom is quite large with its own wash basin but be aware there is a step down into it but a night light is provided if required. Be aware, there are low doorways, sloping ceilings in some rooms and steep stairs which all add to the charm of the property. Parking is available in a public parking bay about 5yds past the cottage and there is access to private enclosed parking, for 1 car only, if required. The cottage has gas central heating and WiFi. Bed linen is provided and gas, electricity and cleaning are included in the price. The cottage quite happily accommodates 3 people but be aware it is only a small cottage. COVID 19 Please rest assured that we are undertaking a thorough cleaning and sanitising of the cottage between guests following government guide lines. You will receive an email before your arrival explaining what we are doing and what we expect of you to help keep everyone safe. Guests have complete run of the cottage. I am always available by telephone or email. The key to the cottage is kept in a key safe and I will contact you with the safe number a few days before your arrival. The cleaner/caretaker lives next door to the cottage. The neighbourhood is very quiet and there is no passing traffic apart from the residents. The main line station is 10 mins walk away and there is parking in a public parking bay about 5yds past the cottage. Private parking in an enclosed area is also available if required. There is a strict no smoking policy in the cottage and no pets. There are steep stairs and low doorways and some sloping ceilings so may not be suitable for the very tall, very young or elderly. There is a step down into the double bedroom - a nightlight is provided if required. Towels will not be provided during the Covid19 pandemic. Allergies - dogs do occasionally use this property. Also, there are feather pillows and duvets. If required there are synthetic pillows and duvets available.
