To keep costs down we do not employ a cleaner and ask that you clean the
cottage before you leave. You will also need to take your own sheets,
pillowcases, duvet covers & tea towels.
Unfortunately, because of the neighbouring cottages and the sheep & cattle
in the adjoining fields, we have to request that you do not take dogs.
We also ask that you do not smoke in the cottage
