About this Holiday House

Originally a rural Post Office, the cottage was relocated & refurbished by previous owners to provide self catering accommodation. The Cottage is adjacent to our home - close enough if you need help but far enough away to afford privacy. There is a Queen Bed and fold out couch in the living area with linen provided. Please note if you are two friends travelling together and require the fold out couch in addition to the bed, there will an additional charge. Please enquire for details. If you are travelling with a baby, a portacot is also available but you will need to provide your own linen for this. The small kitchen has a stove, microwave and fridge and a selection of pots, pans and utensils to allow you to cook a meal. If you find you're missing anything, of course you're always able to borrow it from the main house. The bathroom is small with a shower and handbasin while the toilet is located separately in what was originally the telephone booth - complete with original felt soundproofing. For entertainment there is a TV with basic TV channels and a DVD/BluRay player with movies (or bring your own). We also have books and board games for rainy days. WIFI is currently being installed. We provide complimentary eggs, bacon, and bread if you book for at least two nights. For single nights we provide breakfast cereals, milk, ground coffee and a selection of teas for your first breakfast.

Jane Buschl
Such a quaint wee cottage in a fabulous setting . Charlotte, our host , went over and above with lots of little unexpected treats. She provided local advise too but was by no means invasive . The cottage was very well equipped ,clean and tidy We would most certainly recommend a stay here. Thankyou so much we absolutely enjoyed our time. If only it was longer......!
Alison Lash
Comfy bed (hot water bottles were a nice touch although the electric blanket worked well), pretty well-equipped kitchen, quiet and well-located for our purposes. It was a bit hard to heat it at first but cranking up the temperature on the heat pump eventually solved that. Would have been nice if the heat pump had been turned on before we arrived on a cold and wet winter day. We loved the chooks (and their eggs - thanks), and the sheep.
Kerry Hunter
Wonderful cottage to stay! Lots of character and very clean. Charlotte was kind and made us feel very welcome. Thank you 😊
