The house was a refurbished lovely old miners cottage. Very comfortable and restful. We had to supply our own sheets and towels which we found annoying considering we were from overseas and had to buy them. There was no tea, coffee, milk etc also no information about wifi, TV or what to do with rubbish. They need to specify to bring own linen and towels before payment is made.
