Essential Information
The following information is to assist you in planning your holiday at Bells Cottage. It includes the available facilities and possible restrictions for some potential guests. If you have any questions relating to any of these items, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Access Statement
There is a slight ledge getting into the property and a very small 2 inch step into the kitchen area. The stars upstairs turn three steps up and there is a banister all the way up.
Although the bathroom is on the ground floor, both bedrooms are on the first floor of the cottage making it unsuitable for wheelchair users.
We currently do not have facilities for the deaf or hard of hearing installed in the property.
The garden is flat at the front and on one side there is a slop up to the rear garden but on the other the rear garden can be access through a side gate. There is a drop off in the rear garden with a 2ft retaining wall.

We also have a dog freezer for those of our canine guests who are fed on raw food and a tumble dryer in the barn which can be used for drying any items but please ensure that you only dry items when you are around at the cottage. If you require any dog food for your stay then we can purchase this on your behalf if you let us know. Prices can be provided and we will accept payment on commencement of your stay. We politely ask that pets do not sleep on the beds ( unless you wish to bring all of your own bedding) and we provide throws for those who like to cuddle on the sofa!
Barbecues and outdoor facilities
The garden is only partially fenced at the front and by no means totally secure, however we have now fenced and enclosed the back garden although we cannot 100% guarantee it is "escape proof". It is mostly laid to grass with a small patio area to the front and side of the property. We provide an outdoor metal table, parasol and chairs and a gas BBQ can also be provided on request. We respectfully ask that due to the thatched nature of the property that no coal or wood BBQ's are used here.

Electricity and heating is included in the cost of your holiday. We have installed eco-friendly energy saving lightbulbs in the property.

Bedlinen is provided free of charge in Bells Cottage to include bottom sheet, duvet cover and two pillow cases per person.

If you require extra towels for your dogs please ask and these can be supplied (1 provided per dog anyway).
Tea towels and oven gloves are provided in the kitchen.
