We found the location to be on the right side of isolated. We quickly fell in love with the Taff Bargoed Valley and its surrounds. Each day tempted us to take a new lane up into the moors and explore the places we were driving through to get to our chosen destination for that day.The dog walking area is close and a joy to walk to and through. The local shop is no distance and supplied enough for for our needs.The beds and pillows are comfy as is the sofa.Having a dishwasher was a bonus, although we did have to provide our own tablets.Although we didn't use the external storage area our son was keen to explore what was in it, if anything.As an explanation for not scoring everything 5 out of 5 would be, somebody else jeans left behind a bedroom door, a piece of chewed gum found in a bedroom and some of the glasses and bowls had been returned to the cupboard without being washed properly.When checking in the email from VRBO issue the wrong key code to release the door lock, this matter was eventually resolved as the correct code is present in the digital hand book issued previously by Si.Overall though we had a fantastic holiday and would use Kilex House again.Food in the Ganland Inn (Trelewis) is good and the chippy, Jo's, is excellent. Both listed in the hand book.
