Facilities

Further details indoors:
Holly Cottage has 2 bedrooms, both tastefully furnished with traditional pine furniture and have plenty of storage space in the wardrobes and drawers provided. Bedroom one has a double bed and bedroom 2 has bunk beds. Whilst these are very sturdy we do not permit adults to sleep on the top bunk, unless they are small, lightweight adults. This includes well grown children. The cottage therefore sleeps 2 adults and 2 children or 3 adults. We do not provide for small babies but are happy for you to bring your own travel cot etc. Bed linen and duvets are provided free of charge and are changed once during a 2 weeks stay. Towels are also provided but if you are going to visit the beaches please bring your own towels to take with you.

Further details outdoors:
Holly Cottage is very old and has quite steep stairs. It is, therefore, sadly not suitable for the less able who could not manage this type of challenge. Parents of young children should also be aware of this as small, unstable children may also find the stairs difficult. Parents bringing young children do so entirely at their own risk and must be wholly responsible for their safety during their stay. There is a courtyard area to the rear of the cottage with a table and chairs. There is a stone shed housing a washing machine for guest use and this can also be used for the storage of pedal cycles at your own risk. There is an off road parking space, particularly useful in Tavistock, as parking can often be difficult.

Further details

There is a security deposit of £75 payable by separate cheque. This is not paid in and is destroyed after you vacate subject to there being no damaged or missing items and that the cottage is left in a clean and tidy condition. Unlike many holiday cottages we do not charge extra for cleaning and ask that the accommodation is left 'as found'.

Conditions

Special occasion?: We can arrange special breaks for your celebration - ie - anniversary, birthday, or just a special treat. These can include champagne, hand made chocolates, a wonderful welcome basket of goodies, an adventure of some sort arranged for you prior to your arrival, a murder mystery evening at a nearby venue, complementary therapies, golf, fishing, riding lessons - or anything else if we can arrange it for you - please ask and we will try to make your break extra special.

Your host is fully qualified complimentary therapist and can offer Reflexology, Holistic Massage, Reiki, Healing and Bowen so why not treat yourself to a relaxing rejuvenating therapy during your holiday.
