We are happy to accept a well behaved pet at the Cottage. An additional charge of \u00a320 is levied for a pet. Please follow the link below to see our Pet Conditions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cottage is strictly non-smoking and this includes the use of vapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The charging of electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles is not permitted. Running extension cables through open windows to charge electric vehicles poses a potential fire hazard and should not be undertaken. Should you have an electric car that needs charging there are several electric car charging stations are located throughout the south lakes (Langdale Hotel, Waterhead LDNP Carpark, Waterhead, Lake Road Carpark Ambleside, King Street Carpark Ambleside, Rayrigg Road Carpark Bowness and Booths Carpark Windermere). Guests found charging electric cars at the Cottage will incur additional fees or in extreme cases may be asked to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please do not tamper with, remove or otherwise render inoperable the fire\/smoke detection equipment or emergency lights in the bedrooms. These are there for your safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the current environment of high energy costs we have, unlike many holiday lets, left the heating controls unlocked so guests can adjust them to suite their own requirement. While your comfort is our most important consideration we would kindly ask that you use energy reasonably and avoid excessive usage, for example by not leaving windows open while the heat is turned on, by not running the heating all night and by turning the heating and lights off before you go out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The property accepts babies\/children however we would ask that you do not leave them unsupervised at any time for their own safety. A high chair and cot are available in the property (these are located in the under stairs store outside the lower twin bedroom). Bedding will not be supplied for the cot and you should therefore bring your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
