    The property was great, but Blaenavon is unfortunately a very deprived town which has a dreadful litter problem.

    We loved the house, it was warm, cosy and well equipped with everything we could want.

    No criticism

    The cottage was exactly as described. There are so many things to do in walking distance, and nothing in South Wales was too far by car. The cottage is on a hill, but this is not a down side as the view is fantastic

    A very, very well-equipped, spotless cottage, which was warm and comfortable. We were attending a funeral on the Friday in Blaenavon, but we stayed till the Monday. We usually stay with friends down the road when we visit, but this was a fabulous alternative. There are some lovely eating places and great take aways nearby. The streets are very steep, so flat shoes are recommended! Also make sure you close the kitchen door when making toast or cooking as the smoke alarm will go off. The area is very quiet and picturesque. Love this part of the world!

    The cottage was very nice and on the odd occasions that we saw the neighbours they were perfectly pleasant. Blaenavon as a town though is a little run down. We used the Co-Op and the chippy - Heritage Plaice - and they were absolutely fine.

    I thought the cottage was more than adequate - it had everything you would need / want for a holiday. Parking wasn’t an issue, there was always space within close proximity, even if it wasn’t directly outside the property. There’s loads to do locally and a lot of the stuff is either free or a case of paying for parking - The Big Pit for example cost £5 to park and then free to enter. That’s very ideal when you’re trying to entertain the kids during the holidays.

    Being on a hill in an old mining town the parking is limited and the roads are narrow with the bins on the pavement making it hard to walk around the town generally. Not a critique of the house but something to be aware of with small children or those of limited mobility. The stairs in the house are steep and again something to be aware of.

    The house was really clean and well maintained. I loved the garden and in particular the ability to sit outside and enjoy the view. It was close to the co-op for shopping and the kitchen was well equiped and easy to use. I was really grateful that they were able to set up the beds in the main room as two singles.

    The owners kindly warned us that the stairs were steep. My 3 year old flew up them. Carrying a big heavy suitcase up/down them was not so fun.

    Good value stay. Lovely house.

    There's nothing we didn't like.

    Kids loved the history of the cottage and of Bleanavon. Amazing place. The fact that it got decorated by a Formula 1 driver made it even more interesting. We all had very restful sleep in there. Lovely interior and fab view from the patio. I appreciate the guide created by the owners with the list of all the places worth visiting. The cheese from the nearby cheese shop was fantastic! I wouldn't know of its existence if it wasn't for the guide. And it's only a few steps away from the cottage, on High Street.

    You need to lock the front door with a key at night as it can be opened from outside when unlocked. Minor issue, but worth noting.

    The cottage was very well set up, all you needed and compact.
