This is a BYOL (Bring-Your-Own-Linens) cottage. If you need linens (bedding and towels) these can be brought onsite for a separate fee; please enquire in advance. Separate charge applies. We do provide a duvet and duvet cover plus pillows ie things that do not directly touch the skin. We also provide tea towels and a bath mat and hand towel for each bathroom which are cleaned between rentals.
MAX 8 PEOPLE staying at the cottage. No unregistered guests.
Sorry, no smoking (tobacco/vape/weed) in the cottage.
WiFi -- Rogers 5G Home Internet from Aug 2024 -- this is not a contractual service but when available is complimentary.
We have never taken a pet before. If you would like to bring one dog, this must be discussed with us in advance. It will be subject to there being a clear day before next renters so that we can get professional carpet/textile cleaners in so that the cottage can be allergen-free for subsequent guests. There will also be an additional damage deposit.
No parties or gatherings. No loud music or noise day or night-- we like our neighbours!
NOTE: 2025 dates and fees will be posted in early December.
