All floors are polished pine with rugs and much of the original stone walls have been retained.

The upstairs ceilings are lofted with exposed beams.  There is also an iron and ironing board.  Windows look out onto the gravel courtyard by a lawned area with gently rising ground behind, recently planted with a small deciduous wood under planted with bluebells.

Some games and books are provided for all guests to enjoy.

A single pet is welcome provided it is kept under control and must be kept off the furniture and out of the bedrooms to help those with allergies.

Pets must not be left unattended at any time in the cottage. You must "scoop the poop".

Free, secure storage is available for those with bikes, but you will need to notify us how many.

There is also a wildlife pond and a formal herb garden, a small orchard, wild flower meadow and three outdoor barbecues.

On your arrival there will be enough tea, coffee, sugar and basics like soap and washing up liquid to get you started.

Wifi wireless broadband access point and internet access cable (Cat 5 Network) for connection to your own computer equipment. Broadband is charged at an extra 15 per week or short break stay.  Please note that use of this Wifi Broadband is based on the guest’s basic use for email and browsing the Internet.  Usage on our monthly bandwidth is limited and it is, therefore, not possible to make heavy downloads such as video and music without incurring extra charges.  We use software to track online use, and hold the right to charge extra for any heavy downloads.  We thank you for your co-operation.

The Hayloft is for Non-Smokers only.

In 1999 the Solway Rural Initiative, a local agency which was set up to protect and enhance the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, invited businesses to take part in the Solway Greens Award Scheme.

This scheme was designed to encourage environmental awareness and provides a checklist of requirements to aid the environment.  It is a fairly lengthy form and certainly makes you look at what you are doing and what you can do to ensure your business has less impact on the ecology of the area.

The only self-catering establishment to win the gold award!!!!! We are, and always have been, committed to the reduction of needless waste and endeavour to re-use or recycle wherever possible.

We are committed to the retention of local old varieties of fruit, flower and vegetable wherever possible.
