Access to the cottage is up a 5 steps and then a stepping stone path . We can happily provide a travel cot for a toddler but please let us know in advance of arrival. We provide a starter pack of wood for the woodburner; so there is no delay if you want to light up. Extra wood is available locally. The private patio is a wonderful place to 'chill' after a day exploring the area. We have a selection of books & DVD's if that amuses. Bedding and towels provided. We do not charge extra for cleaning so we ask that the cottage is left in clean condition; with dishes washed etc. There is off-street parking for one vehicle in our driveway. The cottage is reached via a few steps and a stepping stone path. We live on the property in a separate building and are usually around; but always available on phone, email etc. We generally keep a low profile so that you can get on and enjoy your break - but available if required.
