​

Unfortunately, due to the age and quirky nature of Arcadia cottage, we have been unable to make the property fully accessible, including for wheelchairs. There is a small set of stairs in the garden and both bedrooms are located upstairs, up a steep set of stairs.

If you have any questions during your stay, then we are always available on the telephone to help. We also only live 5 minutes away in the next village, in case you need in person assistance.
