Home truths
While children are welcome, this home isn't suitable for infants. Children will need to be supervised around the open fire, staircases and steps in the garden.
One of the king-size bedrooms can be configured as a twin if required. You’ll need to request this in advance.
There is a low head-height on the stairs from the ground floor to the lower ground floor – taller guests will need to watch out for the beams.
The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There is unrestricted free on-street parking here, on a quiet road outside the cottage.
