Access Statement - Lily Pad Cottage

Introduction
Our self catering cottage Lily Pad is a semi detached propery converted from a former store and constructed of local stone slate, with access to the front of the property.

The information here is provided in good faith, however, fittings within our cottages will change from time to time, and despite our best intentions the below may not necessaily be 100% current. Should any part of it be important to your booking (eg. access, furniture or fittings), please let us know at the time of booking. We look forward to welcoming you.

IMPORTANT: In the event of fire blocking the exit door, egress may be required from the ground floor bedroom via the bedroom window. Please read below regarding window height and size; the cottage may therefore not be suitable for those unable to exit via the window.
