Please note that the living room area and bottom of stairs both have a low beam and may not suit persons over 6ft 2ins if you are a little forgetful, although one strike and you soon adjust.
The stairway is shallow with handrails both sides making it easy for young and not so young to negotiate.

We can offer stays other than these out of the main season or on a late booking arrangement in peak season making us very flexible for your holiday needs. Send in your holiday request no matter what dates you are looking for and we may be able to accommodate.
We still offer safe booking for previous guests direct with us, as many do return, which enables us to keep costs down, but you can still book through VRBO should you prefer or you are a new guest.
Sorry no pets allowed at the cottage.
