Guest access
Guests have full private access to the entire self-contained lodge with its own private entrance.
Please note the property includes a small curved staircase typical of a historic cottage. While many taller guests and guests with reduced mobility have stayed comfortably, the staircase does have slightly lower head height than a modern property, so we like to make guests aware in advance.
