Guest access
Guests can enjoy the cottage and gardens extending to over half an acre, including a separate games room with table tennis table and a summer house with toys for younger children. Patio with tables and chairs just outside the front door plus a further set in front of the summer house, and in other spots around the garden including in the meadow with great views over the valley. Please note the garden is on different levels with steps in some places.
Other things to note
The cottage was originally two separate dwellings, as you walk through from the front door there is a step down into the kitchen, a further step down into the lounge and two steps down into the downstairs bedroom. We point this out so that guests with mobility problems are aware of the steps on the ground floor, and the main staircase is a short steep flight.
As the cottage has a thatched roof we don't provide a barbecue and ask guests not to use one. Portable barbecues can be used on the local beaches.
We are happy to host well-behaved dogs but maximum two, we provide doggie blankets for the sofas.
We request that guests don't charge electric vehicles at the cottage but use the public charging points - details are available in the cottage guidebook.
