What’s in the price?

The price includes the following:

The linen that is provided includes the following:

Feather pillows are provided as standard but non-feather pillows are available if required. Please request the non-feather pillows when booking. The duvets are non-allergenic.

Clean towels are provided twice a week and clean bed linen is provided once a week. We also provide sweat towels for use in the gym and bath sheets for use in the spa. Please note that beach towels are not provided.

The cottages come with the following basic household materials: washing up liquid, dishwasher powder, washing powder, Cif, Jay cloths, toilet cleaners, toilet paper, kitchen rolls, plastic bin liners, cling film, tin foil, salt and pepper, a selection of basic spices, bathroom toiletries, fly spray, matches, candles, torch, ordnance survey map of the area, tide tables and bus timetables.

Cots, high chairs, baby baths and stair gates are available if the party includes very young children but these items should be reserved in advance. The cots are full sized cots and are provided with a sprung mattress and fitted sheet. The baby’s own bedding should be used however.

Each Cottage is a well equipped home. Each kitchen is a fully fitted modern kitchen (including fan assisted oven, ceramic hob, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, washer / dryer, toaster, kettle, vacuum cleaner, steam iron and ironing board etc), with ample crockery, cutlery and kitchen equipment (including garlic crusher, lemon squeezer, salad spinner etc). Every cottage has a 21″ television, a DVD player, electric hair dryer and bedside radio alarms. Ample clothes hangers are provided.

Booking conditions

Prices are in sterling per property per week or per short break as marked.

A short break is a three-night weekend or a four-night midweek break. In school holidays, short breaks are only available in the one-bedroom cottages.

Prices include heating, electricity, logs, linen, towels and use of laundry.

With a two-week break, the price of the second week (i.e. the lower priced week) is reduced by ten per cent.

A deposit of twenty per cent of the rental is payable when booking your holiday. We then send written confirmation of your holiday and the balance of your holiday cost will be due no later than eight weeks before your holiday starts.

The cottage is not available until 4.00 p.m. on the first day and you must leave the cottage by 10.00 a.m. on the last day of your holiday.

The number of people (other than a very young child) staying in a cottage must not exceed two per bedroom. Cots and high chairs are available if requested at the time of booking.

We regret that, for the comfort of other guests, pets are not allowed on site and there is no smoking in the cottages.

The Gym in the Health Spa is available to cottage guests from 7.30 a.m. to 9.00 p.m. at a cost of £3 per person per session. Use of the Gym must be booked in advance (either on arrival or during your visit) but this may well be a conversation with Jeremy in which the guest says “I would like to use the Gym from about 7.00 a.m. each morning.”  The reason for the booking system is quite simple, without it we waste electricity and resource by making the Gym availble when no one is using it.  Use of the Gym is not exclusive.

The Spa in the Health Spa (comprising Spa Bath, Sauna and Steam Room and the wet relaxing area) is available to cottage guests from 6.00 p.m. to 9.00 p.m. at a cost of £15 per hour for the party.  Use of the Spa must be booked in advance (either on arrival or during your visit).  Use of the Spa is on an exclusive basis. We provide bath sheets for the individuals using the Spa.  The cost of £15 per hour covers the cost of heating and lighting the Spa area and the changing facilities, hot water, the electricity consumed by Spa Bath, Sauna and Steam Room, VAT, laundry of towels etc etc.  When we introduced this charge we reduced our cottage rates to reflect the unbundling. Prior to the imposition of this charge we would regularly mantain the Spa in operating mode only to discover that no one wished to use the Spa that evening.  Guests would regularly inform us that they intended to use the facilities and then fail to use them.  The £15 charge ensures that this wasteage no longer occurs.

We are unable to refund a deposit or a full rental paid for a cottage in the event that the person booking the cottage wishes to cancel unless we are able to re-let the cottage to a third party for the same period. The reason is very simple. We have a small number of cottages and when we accept a booking we decline other bookings.  We cannot afford to refund monies paid unless the cottage is subsequently let to a third party for the same period. We always try to relet the cottage in the event that a booking is cancelled and we will refund monies paid to us in the event that we do relet the cottage for the same period. We also try to reschedule a booking where this is possible without real cost to us but in some cases this is obviously not possible (e.g. a booking in mid-summer cancelled on short notice).
