* before booking please note
MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY IS 2 PEOPLE.. This includes children. We are unable to accept under 2’s as the pods are not child proofed, sorry.
As the pods form part of a working Croft, the access is limited. The path down from the car park, although very short, is steep and unfortunately currently not suitable for wheelchair users or people with restricted mobility.

There are no EV charging facilities on site and there are currently limited charging points on the Island. There are also no ebike charging facilities.

We can supply charcoal/log fuel buckets for the bbqs and fire pit.
As we are on a working Croft we undertake maintenance/grass cutting etc during the day, and please be aware there can occasionally be cows and sheep in the neighbouring fields.
For guests peace of mind we have a 24hr security camera, and we regret that for insurance reasons only booked guests are permitted on site.
We provide free WiFi for leisure/holiday use and not for business - as we are a rural location we cannot guarantee speeds.

Guest access
Guests have full access to their individual pod, the decking area at the front and the picnic bench to the side

Other things to note
Maximum occupancy is 2 people - this includes children. Unfortunately we cannot accept infants in the accommodation.

As we are a working Croft with no secure fencing and livestock in neighbouring fields then unfortunately we are unable to accept dogs.

There are no EV charging facilities on-site, the nearest charger is 0.4mile away.

* Our price doesn’t include a cleaning fee and we do not expect guests to strip beds or clean the pod on departure. All we ask is that the checkout details are followed and the pods are left in a reasonable condition and checkout is on time. Any that aren’t may regrettably be charged, thank you …

Being situated on the exposed west coast we can very occasionally experience power cuts in the most extreme weather. Unfortunately this is totally outwith our control. We have limited back up power available on-site that enables guests to cook in a shared area, provides hot water and provision to charge devices. We also supply standard boxes with lights, flasks, hot water bottles, blankets and most importantly essential snacks 😊
