child friendly

We have a range of cottages to suit a range of families - large or small!

Four of our cottages are family sized, four star cottages, that have recently achieved a Gold Award for exceptional quality of accommodation and customer service. We also have two one-bedroomed five star cottages ideal for new families.

All our cottages have their own washer/dryers and outdoor drying facilities. We provide hand blenders for the preparation of baby food, plastic plates, tumblers, bowls and child size cutlery. In each cottage you will find a DVD player - don't forget to bring your favourite DVD's, and of course a TV with Freeview - your little ones can watch Cbeebies and CBBC while you put your feet up for five minutes. Our bedrooms have blackout blinds or curtains - so hopefully no early morning wake-up calls. This year all our cottages with stairs now have fitted, opening stair gates (top and bottom).

You will find a comprehensive information folder and a selection of board games in your cottage. Toys, games and books can be borrowed from our indoor play barn.

Our cottages have fully enclosed gardens or terraces with patio furniture and barbecues.

The kitchens in our cottages are very well equipped, but for those mums and dads who would like a night off, we offer the following:
