Although Bryn Teg has only two bedrooms, there are sleeping facilities for up to nine people.

Downstairs

There are three main rooms

plus

Upstairs

The door at the top of the stairs leads out into the garden. Many of the doors in the cottage are rather low by modern standards and this one is particularly low so mind your head!

Heating

Heating is by storage heaters - three downstairs and two upstairs - plus an open fire in the main lounge and a wood-burning stove in the smaller lounge. There is a small portable fan heater, usually kept in the kitchen, and a fairly portable oil-filled heater, usual kept in the smaller lounge.

When the house is occupied in the winter we usually keep all three downstairs storage heaters at about 2/3 full capacity. The upstairs is usually warm so we keep the two heaters upstairs on fairly low settings.

The fire in the main lounge burns either coal or wood, supplies of which are kept in the stone lean-to. This fire also heats the water so switch off the immersion heater shortly after lighting the fire, otherwise the water gets far too hot for safety.

When the house is unoccupied in winter, the storage heater in the main lounge should be left on at about 1/3 full capacity and the other four switched off.

Frost stats in various places switch on various forms of heating if the temperature falls close to freezing. When the cottage is unoccupied, the door to the downstairs toilet and the all the upstairs doors should be left open so that the heat spreads to adjacent rooms.
