Other things to note Please note, there are no stairgates fitted so if you think they will be required please bring travel stairgates with you. We will accept up to two well behaved dogs by prior arrangement, £20 per dog per stay & ask that any damage is compensated. Please also note that this is our home away from home - The house is an old Miners Cottage, built in 1901 & is a fabulous slice of Welsh history in itself. It has uneven floorboards that creak a bit upstairs, an original staircase that's a little steeper than newer houses, original stained glass in some areas inside the cottage - it's a fun space that has character inside & out - but it is not a Boutique Hotel, so please do not expect the style & finish of one - we think it's cosy & a great place to relax after a day out on the hills and hope you do too. This property is situated on a main road, so there is potential for noise. Please also note that we cannot be held responsible for any interruptions in the services provided by outside companies, such as internet, gas, electric etc - we will always do what is possible to rectify any issues and we are only human when dealing with utility companies....
