Each and every one of our cottages is fully equipped with everything you’ll need on holiday.
Fully equipped cottages
All of our cottages have a standard list of equipment that goes above and beyond. As well as fluffy towels and readymade beds, our bare minimum includes everything you’ll need and more, from plenty of teaspoons to added extras such as gravy boats so no matter where you stay, you’ll be able to make your favourite home-cooked dishes.
Each inventory is regularly checked and counted so you won’t be stuck without a ladle and can leave your hairdryer at home, plus you’ll find a starter set of toiletries and cleaning products so you can get on with your holiday.
Ah, those crisp mornings and cosy evenings. If you love the countryside and are looking forward to lots of walks surrounded by frost-laced greenery, our rural retreats will be just right for you. Or, how about our sea view cottages? Known for notoriously dramatic weather, December can bring with it some truly breath taking storms which are amazing to watch from the comfort of a home-from-home. Escape the hustle and bustle with a break in the run up to Christmas, or book yourself a festive getaway to celebrate Christmas or New Year.
