There is a large cupboard off the Lounge with an iron, ironing board, clothes drying rack, high chair, vacuum cleaner, etc. Off the Kitchen to the back of the house is a small paved courtyard which catches the afternoon sun, with two two-seater benches and a lockable shed containing our recycling bins, a bistro set, buckets and spades for the beach, and space for a bicycle, etc. Adjacent to the courtyard is a private parking space for one car (marked “Wee Hoose”) with further free parking available nearby. Upstairs there are two Bedrooms with coomb ceilings and a Bathroom. Bedroom 1 has a double bed from which you can see the sea view through the front window, plus a Velux roof light, both with blackout blinds, and has a double wardrobe and other storage space. There is a seating area at the front end looking out to the sea, with a bookcase containing books about the sea and the area, children’s books, sheet music, binoculars and a telescope. Bedroom 2 also has a Velux rooflight with blackout blind and two large single beds, storage cupboards and a hanging rail. The beds all have good quality orthopaedic mattresses, and we supply an additional neck support pillow, should you require this. Although we do not supply a travel cot, there is ample space for one in either bedroom. The bathroom has a thermostatic shower over the bath, and a shower screen, a non- slip mat for the bath, a heated towel rail, assorted toiletries and plenty of storage for your own. We supply a large hand towel and a bath towel for each guest. There are socket outlets with built-in USB charging points in the Lounge and main bedroom. Safety features include a CO alarm in the Kitchen, interlinked heat and smoke detectors, emergency lighting in the stairwell, a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit. Please note that we supply a safety gate rather than a stair gate, for use only across the entrance to the second bedroom. Because of the configuration of the space downstairs, it is easy to shut off access to the foot of the stairs, external doors, and the kitchen, using the internal doors. Guest access You will have sole access to the whole house and courtyard. There is level access to the ground floor via the front door, and access to the bedrooms and bathroom is by way of a staircase. There is a small locked cupboard under the staircase and a linen cupboard in the main bedroom to which guests do not have access. Other things to note The back door is used as the main entrance and opens onto a paved sheltered courtyard from which there are four steps up to a shared driveway and a private parking space. The front door opens directly onto the pavement of a quiet street and we recommend that you keep this locked if you have young children. Registration Details EL00015F
