Our home was originally two 19th century cottages that have been adapted into one home, blending original features with modern additions. We have a stone porch entrance with reclaimed stained glass windows where you can store your outdoor clothing, boots etc. This leads to the guest lounge with a multi fuel stove as well as a selection of books and games for you to enjoy. You access the first floor via a large spiral staircase which runs through the centre of the house to the guest rooms and adjoining bathrooms are situated. Your rooms each have a 32 in Smart TV with Netflix and Amazon, hair dryer, kettle and ironing facilities. There are oak strip floors, reclaimed floorboards and stone flooring throughout the house and every bedroom has antique Welsh blankets and restored wood furniture. We have chosen paint shades and furnishings that give each room a different identity and feel. The kitchen has an AGA style oil stove with oak lintel and pew and a cosy seating area as well as all the modern facilities including Air fryer, electric oven/grill/ceramic hob and Alexa speaker. You have access to the kitchen at all times and we are always well stocked with a range of breakfast options which is self service and you are not limited by specific times, we offer a very relaxed approach. Our home has a spacious dining room with a large Oak table, bench seating and comfortable vintage chairs. This room leads onto two patio areas and a large garden with a chimenea and barbecue where you can relax and enjoy the outstanding views across the Amman Valley and spectacular sunsets.
