We offer three length of stay options:

  • A weekend break which runs from Friday afternoon to Monday morning
  • A full week which runs from Monday to Monday or Friday to Friday
  • A mid-week break which runs from Monday afternoon to Friday morning

When staying for a 7 night period that falls over two date bands your holiday price will be prorated. There is no maximum stay limit. For bookings of two weeks or more, each week will be priced in the date band it falls in.

A maximum of two well behaved dogs are allowed at the property. A charge of £30 per stay is made for each dog (there is no charge for assistance dog).

Please speak to a member of the Customer Care team to check if the dates of your stay are when an event is taking place should you have any concerns about disturbance during your holiday.

If you'd like to get in touch, please contact us at:
