The owners sometimes pre-book the court but we will do our best to ensure a note is put on the court gate to inform you in advance. There is plenty of parking. The path between the parking area and the cottage is lit with solar lighting. Other things to note Due to COVID-19 we have increased our cleaning process between guests. Due to the enhanced cleaning process we have introduced an earlier check-out time of 10am and a later check-in times of 4pm. We may be flexible on these if we do not have guests arriving / departing on the same day. Please ask. We have a rather energetic and friendly dog, Percy and an elderly dog, Archie, who will likely want to be friends with you! There is a gate between the main garden and the garden in front of the cottages which we ask you to keep closed to prevent the dogs from bothering you. The dogs are not allowed in the cottages (and they know this!). Percy loves tennis more than life itself, so he may join you if you play. Please keep the gate onto the court shut so that he does steal your balls (and please let us know if his presence is bothering you)! We provide a small welcome basket which includes the essentials; milk, tea, coffee, bread, butter & biscuits. Finally, we have just started an Instagram page (@fennycastle), so please do follow us and tag us in photos of your stay.
