A very warm welcome to Isfryn from your hosts Steve and Linda. Isfryn forms a completely self-contained property sleeping 2 adults, separated by 3ft thick walls of slate from Ty Hebron, the adjoining former Methodist chapel, which is now our home. Isfryn was built in the 1870s as a home for the chapel minister.
Renovating this cottage has been a very happy experience, which we hope is reflected in its cheerful and welcoming interior. It offers cosy and comfortable accommodation for two adults.
To welcome you to the cottage we provide a Welcome Basket of goodies, as many home made and local as we can. We include fresh milk, fresh butter, ground coffee, tea bags, Home made granola, home made preserves, home made cake and a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine. We can modify your Welcome Basket to suit any dietary needs.
In the living room, the most prominent feature is an open hearth with hearth stones of beautiful local slate, which connects this room with the dining room beyond. It contains a double sided wood burner, so you don’t need to leave your warm and cosy fire behind when you go to eat at the table! The living room has a comfortable sofa, a satellite Smart TV, free Superfast WiFi, DVD player, a selection of DVDs and well-stocked book shelves. In the bureau, you will find a variety of games, so in the event of inclement weather, you can settle comfortably indoors and be well entertained. As with the rest of the house, the walls are decorated with original prints, many by local artists. In the living room, you will find USB charging sockets so that you can conveniently charge up any electronic items.
The dining room furniture, which dates from the mid 1800s, was bought by Linda with money left to her by her grandmother and was used in her own house for many years. We are delighted to share it with you now and hope you enjoy the presence of furniture appropriate to the age of the cottage. If you like music to dine by, you will find a Bluetooth/CD player and a variety of CDs on the buffet stand.
We have tried to make maximum use of the space in Isfryn to offer you everything you need for your holiday. In the cupboard under the stairs you will find a washer/dryer, washing liquid and fabric conditioner, a table top dishwasher, dishwashing tablets, an iron and a table top ironing board.
The kitchen has an induction hob, electric oven, microwave, fridge with a small freezer compartment and a kettle. You’ll find the basic necessities like sugar, oil, salt and pepper, cling film and foil waiting for you.
A rear porch completes the ground floor and offers coat hooks and a boot rack for muddy or wet footwear.
Upstairs, the bedroom contains a super-comfy, super-king sized bed which can be converted to twin beds if desired. There is a charming, up-cycled wardrobe dating from the era when it was felt useful to have shelves labelled to tell you where to keep your socks and underwear! In the bedside table drawers, you will find a hairdryer, and a cooling mat in case you bring your straighteners. There is another well-stocked book shelf to make sure you can read yourself into a peaceful sleep.
The large landing houses a big day-bed, which acts as a sofa giving you an additional sitting room. Yet another bookshelf ensures that passing comfortable afternoons curled up on the day bed lost in a good book, or reading yourself into a comfortable doze is also an option here.
The bathroom has a large, walk in shower with both drench and hand held shower heads, a toilet, a heated towel rail, an illuminated mirror with shaving point and a magnifying mirror. You will find basics such as cotton wool, cotton buds and tissues provided for you.
We provide all bed linen, a choice of pillows, towels, tea towels and waffle-weave bathrobes for your comfort.
All utilities are included. We provide you with two baskets of logs for the wood burner and will refill them as required.
