- Welsh Miner’s Cottage
New for Winter 2021 - this recently renovated and cosy Welsh miner’s terraced cottage in the peaceful village of Six Bells in Abertillery, South Wales.
(2)
The village is surrounded by mountains, woodland and overlooked by the famous Guardian monument. The cottage is directly opposite Six Bells Park which is perfect for children. This dog, walker and cyclist-friendly property retains some of its original character and is perfect for families or friends looking to explore surrounding areas.
� The Cottage - Main Details �
Bedrooms/ Sleeps: 3 bedrooms
sleeping up to 6 although this is a small, terraced cottage so I would suggest bedroom 2 is suitable for one adult or two young children. Floor 1 Bedroom 1 (Sandringham): Double bed (4’6”), 2 bedside cabinets, bean bag chair and a wardrobe with hangers. The hair dryer is in this room. Floor 1 Bedroom 2 (Highgrove): Single day bed (3’) with a trundle to make it into a double and 2 bedside cabinets. Floor 2 Bedroom 3 (Balmoral): Double bed (4’6”), 2 bedside cabinets and a bean bag chair. This is a loft room with a low sloping ceiling. Bed linen and towels: Bed linen, bed throws, mattress/ pillow protectors, bath sheets, bathmat and a hand towel for the kitchen and bathroom are provided. Each bed is made up with duvets and there are 2 pillows per person. Note that the day bed when opened out with the trundle has 2 single duvets sets. The second set is stored in the day bed drawers. Lounge-Dining Room: 3-seater sofa with chaise longue extensions, fireplace, side tables, lamps, dining table that sits 6 and side board. Bean bag chairs in Sandringham and Balmoral could be used here too. LED candles are available to use and safer if you have dogs or young children staying. This room is decorated over Christmas and the New Year.

There is a dinner service and cutlery for up to 6 people. Tea towel, washing up liquid, cleaning products, anti-bacterial hand soap and sanitiser are provided. Olive oil, salt & pepper, mixed herbs, teabags, coffee and sugar are available.

Garden: A series of planted terraces connected by steps and including a covered bicycle rack for up to 4 bikes (no locks provided), a gas BBQ (Summer), table with 4 chairs and a low benched area. The garden is secure for dogs but is not suitable for children to play in, however you have Six Bells Park and tennis/basketball courts opposite the cottage. The Guardian can be seen from the garden.
� Six Bells �
Peaceful and picturesque ex-colliery village near Abertillery in Blaenau Gwent. The village is overlooked by ‘Guardian’, an impressive 20 metre high memorial sculpture - Wales answer to the Angel of the North. The memorial was built onto the site of the old colliery, 50 years after the Six Bells Colliery disaster. Six Bells is perfect if you are keen to explore the local and surrounding areas, are a keen walker, mountain biker or cyclist. The cottage is less than 20 minutes from the edge of the Brecon Beacons. If planning on going to Cardiff for an event e.g. sport or concert - the cottage is less than 45 from the Motorpoint Arena and Principality/Millennium Stadium. Satellite navigation using our post code will take you straight to the property. The nearest train station is Llanhilleth (2.5 km).
