The cottage is a 17th Century cottage made up of two cottages joined together many years ago.

Because of its age it has some quirky aspects which make it unsuitable for wheelchair users as they include uneven floors and floors at different levels requiring small steps in various rooms and some light switches are in unexpected positions. A key feature also is that the two bedroom suites are accessed by separate stairs and there is no upstairs connection between them.

There is reserved parking for two cars immediately outside the cottage so access is immediate with only a few steps required.
