After another busy winter, those of you who stayed with us as recently as last summer, will notice changes and improvements on your next visit, some significant. We know, though, that it is the attention to detail that often makes the difference between the ordinary and the special. So this year you will notice lovely pewter door handles and numbers on the Alfred cottages, boot scrapes at each cottage door, and dog water and food bowls for all our four footed friends.

Guest Feedback

Thank you to all our guests who completed one of our guest surveys. We appreciate your time given and value all your comments. Many of you mentioned difficulties and limitations experienced with our Wi-Fi. We have therefore changed supplier and upgraded all our equipment giving each cottage reliable, free Wi-Fi.
