The cottage sleeps two and we can additionally provide a cot and high chair for wee ones. Please do not use 'instant book' if you are bringing a dog until you have confirmed with us - one dog is usually welcome at no extra charge but please check with us before booking if you intend to bring a dog, giving details of your dog (age, breed, size, etc). We do not accept large dogs or any puppies under one year old. We look forward to welcoming you. Guest access The cottage is exclusively yours for the duration of your stay and has its own front and back doors, ensuring private access. It has ample car parking which is private and secure. You can reach the shingle beach by crossing the road. Other things to note We have a small, friendly dog called Monty. He is a little white fluffy Maltese/Shitzu cross and very used to new people coming to visit, but we will of course keep him away from any guests who don't like dogs.
