A Home to Relax and Unwind

Wind down in front of the Smart TV with Netflix, or open the bifold doors off the dining area onto the rear patio when the weather`s kind. With a washing machine and drying rack on hand, it works just as well for longer stays as for weekends away.

Good to Know Before You Book
The property sits across two floors, with carpeted stairs rising to the bedrooms and bathrooms, so it isn`t step-free above the ground floor. Several rooms upstairs are set under sloped ceilings with exposed beams, so headroom is reduced in places. Ground floor access and a private entrance make arrival easy. Check-in is self check-in via keybox, with full details sent on the morning of arrival. Parking is in the private carport for 2 cars, a short step from the cottage.

Extra charges
Up to 2 pets are welcome at £20 per pet per stay; please include any pets when booking. A few extras can be arranged, subject to availability, and requested after booking through a secure third-party platform: early check-in and late check-out at £20 per hour (up to 2 hours), a welcome hamper at £6 per guest, a standard celebration package at £80, a premium celebration package at £150, plus food deliveries and spa or massage packages at variable prices.

Full payment is due 30 days before arrival and will be automatically charged to the card on file. If payment fails, it must be completed within 24 hours or the booking will be cancelled. Early payment is allowed; card fees up to 3 percent are non-refundable if cancelled.
