Our check in time is 2:30pm, check out at 11am. If you are requiring a slightly earlier check-in or later checkout - we are more than happy to try to accommodate this if we are able, however, please enquire as it depends if we have bookings on either side of your stay.
Our family home is next door to the Cottage however the cottage is very peaceful and private with just the horses next door for company and the sound of birdsong.
