If you want to step back in time and become part of the history of the town, this cosy cottage is a great start because it would be how local mining families lived and has a great atmosphere. The cosy and cute cottage is right on the main street. Our family of three stayed on a Friday night and there was not a car to be heard …. So no traffic noise and very quiet. Well equipped with all the basics and the heater was on when we arrived. The rustic tree trunk bed is amazing (and comfortable). Don’t miss the National Trust staircase foyer and great fireside meals at the Empire Hotel, just a short one block walk down the street next to the train station.
