We supply a welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk, sugar, butter, artisan bread and homemade cake. We always give the highest attention to cleanliness, as can be seen in our many reviews. We are committed to Airbnb's enhanced cleaning protocol and the cottage is thoroughly cleaned between stays. Self check-in and checkout, no close neighbours. CATS: Please note, the cottage is also home to two friendly cats, Autumn and Winter. We can arrange for them to be fed, or very happy if you'd care to look after them, but if you are allergic to cats then regrettably this house is probably not a good choice for you. Guest access Guests have access to the entire house and garden. Treat the cottage as you would treat your own. No smoking anywhere inside, and regret no additional pets. No guests allowed other than those mentioned in the booking unless previously agreed. Please inform us of any breakages or spillages so we can clean/replace before the next guests arrive. Other things to note Please note: this is a working farm with farm machinery; if walking on the farm please keep to marked paths and pay attention at all times - especially if you are out with children.
