  • Is there a BBQ on site?
    Unfortunately, at present we do not provide barbecues for guest use. However, there is a suitable paved area outside each cottage to use a barbecue, so guests are welcome to bring their own, or there are disposable barbecues available for sale locally.

    All of our properties ('Room Types') have a minimum of two showers. See breakdown of the bathroom configuration below. Bungalow with Sea View (Sleeps 6) - master bedroom has a private (en-suite) bathroom with a shower, and the main bathroom (shared between the other two bedrooms) has a standalone shower and a separate bathtub. Three-Bedroom House (Sleeps 7) - both bedrooms upstairs have a private (en-suite) bathroom each with a shower, and across the hall from the downstairs bedroom there is a bathroom with a shower over the bathtub. Three-Bedroom House with Sea View (Sleeps 6) - master bedroom has a private (en-suite) bathroom with a shower, and the main bathroom (shared between the other two bedrooms) has a standalone shower and a separate bathtub. Apartment with Sea View (Sleeps 6) - master bedroom has a private (en-suite) bathroom with a shower, and the main bathroom (shared between the other two bedrooms) has a standalone level-deck accessible shower (with wall-mounted chair) and a separate bathtub. Three-Bedroom Apartment (Sleeps 6) - master bedroom has a private (en-suite) bathroom with a shower, and the main bathroom (shared between the other two bedrooms) has a standalone shower and a separate bathtub. As you can see, the 'Three-Bedroom House (Sleeps 7)' is the only one with three showers (including the downstairs one which is over the bathtub). All the others have two showers.

  • Hi are there usually fireworks in the area at Halloween?My dog needs to escape the noise at home which terrifies her.I understand you can only guess.
    There is generally no fireworks display in the locality for Halloween. Until now our neighbours (mostly vacant holiday homes) have not set them off. We're less than a mile from the village. At most, some local families might set them off there.
