Good to Know Before You Book
This is a converted brick barn on a working plot, so horses and chickens will be found nearby. The animals can be stroked, but please don`t feed them, though the chickens can be given bread. Two of the doubles sit under sloped ceilings where headroom is lower at the edges. The single bathroom is shared across all three bedrooms. Parking is in the bays outside the main house, and self check-in is via keysafe with details sent on the morning of arrival. Please keep smoking outside and away from the cottage, as there are animals on site, and keep any gates closed.
