It is a non smoking environment

Sorry no pets allowed

Pre-Arrival

I ask my guests to telephone me when they are approximately half an hour away from the cottage so that I can meet them up there, with the keys and show them around.  I feel that this is a great opportunity for you to be able to ask me any questions that have not already been answered during the booking process.
