All heating and electricity costs are included in the price of your stay. Logs for wood burning stove are provided in winter. Bed linen and towels are provided but please bring your own beach towels. The cottage has excellent wi-fi. We provide a Nespresso machine and a starter pack of Nespresso pods; please bring your own if you prefer a specific style or if you drink a lot of coffee!
The garden is currently inaccessible from the cottage as it requires some landscaping and renovation works to ensure it is safe for guest access. The garden is therefore not included within the rental agreement. If you choose to enter the garden it is at your own risk and access should be via walkway to the side of the next door property. We will be undergoing garden renovations later this year to ensure the garden is accessible for the 2020 season.
