You are provided with everything that you could possible need. We both slept really well. We would definitely recommend to others. Just some useful feedback. The bed could do with a head board to stop pillows falling down the back. Also we were not sure what bins were for what at bottom of stairs blue/red big black lid bin could probably write this down somewhere, along with where to leave the key at end of stay ie through your letter box or just leaving it in the door.

There were also welcoming chocolates and Welsh cakes - and his wife baked a loaf for us too. HIgh-end toiletries gave a sense of what they were seeking to achieve. Sadly, we were only able to stay one night for medical reasons. Only point of caution is that I am 1.93cm tall, moderately built and found the bed too short, and a bit narrow with my wife there too. Otherwise, a great place to stay.

The freshly baked loaf of bread on arrival was very tasty. Also helpful owners on site.
