We are limiting all physical contact at this time so please contact us via phone for any enquiries and do not come to the main house (unless in the case of an emergency).

The property is right in the middle of the town meaning our street gets busy with cars and buses; please expect some road noise during your stay. There is off street parking for one car in front of the cottage and plenty of free parking on the street. You will have use of the cottage and a small area in front of the cottage only. The cottage may not be suited to those with mobility issues due to the shower over bath and several large above ground tree roots on the front yard/driveway.
