Our allergy-friendly cottage is a cosy and welcoming retreat designed with comfort and accessibility in mind. With a ground-floor accessible bedroom and a second bedroom in the upstairs gallery, it is ideal for couples, families, or small groups. The cottage opens directly onto our peaceful courtyard, where you’ll find bench seating and colourful planters just outside the door.

Recently refurbished, the cottage has been thoughtfully adapted to support guests with autism and sensory sensitivities. Soft furnishings, calming colours, and a relaxing atmosphere create a restful space, while additional touches such as a basket of fidget toys, comforting throws in a variety of textures, and a planning chalkboard help guests feel comfortable and at ease throughout their stay. To maintain its allergy-friendly environment, pets are not permitted in this cottage.
