All rubbish must be removed and placed in bins on the driveway. There is a blue bin for paper, Yellow for bottles and cans, red for general waste.

Our rate is low to take into account the fact that communal areas might be shared with up to 2 other guests only, staying in an outside cabin. We expect guests to leave the property as they found it. A cleaning fee is not charged to keep rates low, however this means that guests are expected to leave the property clean and tidy before they leave, with the kitchen tidied up after each use and all dishes placed in the dishwasher and towels placed in the laundry. A cleaner is employed to launder linens and disinfect surfaces only.
Please note that this property is not suitable for smokers or vapers inside or outside. It is not suitable for children or pets due to an elderly resident cat.
