Yr Hen Bopty (The Old Bakery)

Guest review

5.0

The coffee machine was nice and the main bedroom room was nicely done. It was clean.

− We had to pass rubbish on the street - it did not feel cosy like pictures for example there were lamps but no plug points. The main room feels cold and may have damp issues.

Comfortable beds. Owners were responsive when the boiler broke down.

− The boiler was broken on arrival but we didn't realise as got in late. It was a v cold night with little sleep and in the morning the house was 13 degrees with no hot water. The boiler was fixed later that morning and we had no other problems but the house didn't feel very clean and is quite rickety. It is in a tricky location tucked down an alley at the end of a road, 15 mins walk out of Pontypridd. Having seen it, I understand why they don't have external photos. It feels overpriced. We suggested a small refund but after promising to call us, the owners have not done so.

House was clean and tidy. Quiet neighbours.

− Boiler has a leak and needs topping up daily or you have no hot water.. and parking is limited on street.. but we had no problems

A comfortable property well positioned for Cardiff and the Valleys

The property was very comfortable, well maintained and good facilities, plus just 10 minute walk from Lidl’s for groceries. The washing machine specifically was helpful and the host provided a warm dryer too, which proved useful in the wet February days!

− The floorboards on the 1st floor were noisy, so made moving around at night difficult for others. The single bed bedroom was very cold as the radiator was hidden behind the chest of drawers and my daughter felt uncomfortable on the mattress which was too soft.

Lovely property, well maintained

Lovely and spacious. Well equipped.

− No heating when we arrived as boiler not working. However after a call with the host we managed to sort it out. Bit of confusion with rubbish and recycling as calendar was out of date.

Hope to come back next year!!!

Great alternative to staying in local hotel. Loved the kitchen because we were able to purchase and store our food for the week and there was plenty of pots, pan, utensils, and dishes. I also really like the water pressure in the shower.

− We did not like that it said two bathrooms when there was one bathroom and one half bathroom. We had four guests and we thought we had two showers. We also did not the washer only with not dryer. It was rainy every day, we were not able to wash our clothes.
