What's included

Bed Linen and Towels

All beds are made up for you with high quality bedlinen and at least 2 towels per guest. Many of our duvets and pillows are goosedown, so if you have an allergy to feathers, please advise us and we can arrange for synthetic bedding for you instead.

Welcome Pack

A welcome pack will be provided for you to enable you to have some light refreshment upon arrival. Varying from cottage to cottage, but as a minimum you can expect the following:

  • Fresh Milk
  • Sachet selection of teas, coffees & sugar
  • Fruit juice for children
  • Biscuits
  • Complimentary toiletries for adult guests
  • Treats and bowls for dogs

At most of our cottages, you are likely to find a little more than this, as we do encourage our owners to offer guests their own combination of welcome pack items, rather than simply conforming to what all our other owners are offering. This means that some cottages will undoubtedly offer more than others, for instance; mineral water, newspapers, home baked cakes, etc., but we feel that this what makes them unique and individual and so encourage it.

Please note that the welcome pack is entirely complimentary and therefore does not form part of your holiday cost. You can choose whether you wish to consume or use the items offered or not, but no adjustment to your holiday cost is possible if you choose not to use the items offered.

 

Cleaning and Laundry Items

  • An ironing board and iron
  • Vacuum, brush and mop
  • Cleaning materials, including cloths and all the usual kind of things you'd have under the kitchen sink at home
  • Washing powder tabs x 2
  • Dishwasher tabs - approx 7

Wireless Broadband Internet Access

Available in the majority of our cottages at no extra charge. Bring your Wi-Fi enabled laptop. If you need to connect using an ethernet cable please check with us first to ensure the router is accessible (as it's not in some cottages). If a password or key is required to access the service, it will be provided in the Guest Information File in the cottage. Internet Access is offered subject to availability from the service provider, as we have no control if the service goes down. As such, we can not guarantee it will always be available. If this is an essential requirement to you whilst on holiday, please ensure you have an alternative internet access point identified (i.e. local wifi spot in a local cafe). Use this link to look for Wi-Fi Hotspots in the area you will be staying.

Bookable Extras

Celebrating Something Special?

We offer champagne, flowers, speciality chocolates and even decorated cakes to help make your celebration that little bit more special. Use the 'Additional Information' box on the order form to tell us what the celebration is and any choice of flowers, writing on cakes, etc. Choose your selection on the on-line booking form or contact us directly to arrange. We can also recommend local speciality caterers, who can offer anything from a ready-prepared meal waiting for you in the fridge to heat and serve, to a full blown dinner party. See our webpage Groceries and Catering for contact details and links. If there is anything else we can do to make your celebration a success, just let us know.

Baby Equipment

At most of our cottages, we have cots, highchairs and stairgates available free of charge. Just choose what you require via the online booking form. In addition, at some cottages, there is extra equipment available, such as a pushchair, bottle steriliser, baby monitor, baby back carrier, cot bedding, potty and baby toilet seat adapter. Use the online booking form to select what is available at the cottage you are booking and call or email us to request anything extra.

Babysitting Service

CRB checked child minders. We put you in touch with your babysitter, encourange you to meet beforehand and you pay them direct. £8 per hour or part thereof.

Additional Folding Beds for Children

At some of our properties, where it's possible to do so, we can offer an additional folding 'Z-Bed' for a child of 12 years old or younger. There may be limitations on which bedroom it can be placed in, so please contact us to check if this is important. The bed will be fully made up and towels provided for the child. Please note, however, that in most properties, the number of dining places and seating in the lounges corresponds to the number of permanent beds in the property, so this should be taken in account (i.e. you may not all be able to dine together at once). Please call for clarification if needed.

Dog Sitting Service

We do not allow dogs to be left unattended in our cottages, so if you wish to visit somewhere where dogs are not welcome, such as a country house, restaurant or go on a boat trip, we can put you in touch with one of our housekeepers (experienced dog owners themselves) for you to arrange for them to sit with your dog at the cottage. £8 per hour or part thereof (pay the sitter direct).

Dog Beds

We have a range of luxury dog beds available to hire at £10 per booking. The size provided will be appropriate for your breed/size of dog, which you will be asked about when you complete the online booking form. The bed will come with a fleece blanket and a dog towel.
