Coachmans Quarters
The open plan, two bedroom cottage, with front door locksafe, and free parking, is warm, bright and airy with patio windows & door to the front patio that are great for watching house martins flying low in the evening. You can step out onto the front patio to relax.
Suitable for couples or families. Rear gravel courtyard can be gated to keep dogs safe. At night time an outdoor light sensor comes on when approaching the front door.
The kitchen is well equipped and has a table, electric hob, oven, microwave, kettle, cafetière, teapot, toaster, bread bin, washing up liquid, sprays, cleaning sponge/ cloths, oven gloves, apron, milk, tea, coffee, oil, salt, pepper, herbs. Parents should bring their own high chair.
There is wifi, and a bluetooth speaker. The living area has Free Sat TV, USB sockets, a cd player, books and comfortable sofas, armchair and side tables. A pack of cards and other games like Highland Monopoly, Uno or Twister keep you entertained.
Each bedroom has a spacious wardrobe, chest of drawers, chair, towels and usb sockets for recharging phones etc. The double bedroom has a table suitable for remote working. Parents should bring their own travel cot. An additional single bed can be put in the double bedroom, on request.
The shared bathroom has a toilet, sink, wall cabinet with mirror, shaver points, deep bath with electric shower (continuous hot water) over, stepping stool for easy access and heated towel rail and door hooks. Shower gel and shampoo supplied.
Dog owners should bring dog bowls and blankets. There are some towels by the front door for rubbing down pets. The side and rear courtyard can closed off so dogs can be let out safely. Dogs should not be left alone in the property.
There are electric radiators with timers in each room. The boiler is on a timer. You will wake up to hot water each morning and can press the boost button if you run out later on. The overhead shower has continuous hot water.
There is a vacuum cleaner, washing machine, iron and ironing board, a folding indoor clothes horse/ airer which can be put in rear courtyard on dry days. Please bring the airer indoors when clothes are dry.
