Good to know

Check-in is from 4pm and check-out is by 10am. That gives us time to clean properly between every stay. If nobody arrives the day you leave, a 1pm late check-out is available as an extra.

Each cottage has a key safe by the door. We send the code, directions and a short arrival guide by email about a week before you travel. We live on site, so we're happy to say hello and show you round, or leave you to settle in.

In low season you can arrive any day (minimum 3 nights). In mid season we have Monday and Friday changeovers (minimum 3 nights). In the summer holidays stays run Saturday to Saturday. Over Christmas and New Year the minimum stay is 4 nights. The calendar on each cottage page only lets you pick dates that work.

Keeper's Cottage welcomes one dog and The Old Granary up to two, at £25 per dog per stay. The Hayloft is pet-free for guests with allergies. Assistance dogs are welcome in every cottage, free of charge.

Please don't leave dogs alone in the cottage. If you'd like a day out somewhere dogs can't go, ask us for local dog-sitters.

The Old Granary has a private hot tub in its enclosed garden. It isn't shared with anyone.

It's drained, cleaned and refilled with fresh water before every stay, and we check the water balance daily.

Shower before you get in, no glass in or around the tub, no children under 8, under-16s supervised by an adult at all times, and the lid on when it's not in use. It's available until 11pm.

Yes, and it's shown up front in every price: £45 for The Hayloft, £55 for Keeper's Cottage and £75 for The Old Granary. It covers a proper clean, fresh linen and the hot tub refill.

Yes. Beds are made up for your arrival, and we provide bath towels, hand towels, tea towels and, at The Hayloft, robes. Please bring your own beach or swimming towels for the hot tub.

No deep clean needed. Please empty the dishwasher, take rubbish and recycling to the bins in the yard, and leave the cottage as tidy as you found it.

Yes, a travel cot and high chair are free on request at Keeper's Cottage and The Old Granary. Babies in a cot don't count towards the number of guests. The Hayloft is adults only.

The Old Granary has level access and a ground-floor king-size bedroom with a wet room and grab rails. The Hayloft is up 14 stone steps, and Keeper's Cottage has its bedrooms up a steep staircase. Call us to talk through your needs; we're happy to send photos and measurements.

There's a 7kW charger at Keeper's Cottage that any guest can book as an extra, charged at cost (£10 a night).

Yes, free private parking at every cottage: 1 space at The Hayloft, 2 at Keeper's Cottage and 3 at The Old Granary.

All three cottages have fibre broadband, usually around 60 Mbps. Mobile signal is patchy indoors, as it often is near the forest, so wifi calling is handy.

You can pay a 25% deposit to secure your dates and the balance 6 weeks before you arrive, or pay in full when you book. If you book within 6 weeks of arrival, it's paid in full at the time.

Cancel 6 weeks or more before arrival and we'll refund everything you've paid. Inside 6 weeks, we'll refund in full if we can re-let your dates. And we're always happy to move your stay to other dates once, free of charge. We recommend holiday insurance.

When you book through a booking platform, fees are usually added for guests and commission is taken from owners. Booking direct means none of that, so we can offer our best price here and you can talk to us about anything you need.
