Please Note
- Smoking is not allowed in the cottage or grounds. Also, we do not allow pets in the cottage or grounds.
- Hard surfaces, such as slate and hardwood floors, staircase, etc., make the cottage unsuitable for children under 5 years old.
- The living room and kitchen are on the first floor and the doorway to the living room is low (5’5″).
- Two slate steps lead from the hallin to the hall.
- The level of the unfenced stream rises rapidly after very heavy rain. The cottage is a sufficient distance from, and height above, the stream for visitors to enjoy the spectacle. Families with small children should be aware of this feature, though they can be reassured that access to the stream from the cottage is only through the rear lockable door.
