| Our
Summer Season runs from April
till October. We generally take bookings only for a
full week. If a cottage is not booked two weeks in advance we
will consider short breaks based on two nights costing half
the weekly rent.
In the
winter: All cottage available. We take short breaks (Cost:
half weekly rent for first two nights; thereafter ten percent
of full weekly rate for each extra night)
Arrival & departure:
Cottages are ready for you from 4 p.m. on Friday. Please
vacate by 10 a.m. on the following Friday to allow time for
cleaning.
Pets:
Dogs are welcome provided they do not chase livestock. We
charge £15 per dog per week.
To make a booking: Contact
us to make sure the dates you require are still available. We
can then take a provisional booking. We can either send you our brochure
and booking form by post or you can print it from our web page
(click here). Please then return the form with a
deposit of 25% of the cost. We can supply our bank details if
you need to do a bank transfer. A contract is deemed to have
been made on written confirmation of the receipt of your
deposit.

Camping:
We have 3 luxury yurts for hire
with more to follow.
There are also lots of level areas between the
brambles ideal for a few nights in a tent. We charge £3 per
head per night. Do not expect showers or loo. A high-profile cabinet minister spent a miserable rainy night
here under canvas and went away smiling.
Weddings: We have hosted
a couple of brilliant weddings based around
a large yurt in the middle of a field. This is a tentative
area we would like to develop. Phone Hege for more details.
