Prices & Availability – 2022, 2023

Coronavirus/Covid19 2021/22 – We are happy to offer 100% refunds of both Deposits and Balance payments to our existing guests and any who book for 2021/22 if their family has been effected by Covid19.  Because of these strange times we are also happy for guests to make the Balance payment one week before their 2021, or 2 months before their 2022 arrival.  We want our guests to be confident that they will not be out of pocket when booking our holiday cottage.

We would like to register our thanks to our new and regular guests for being so flexible and supportive during these very difficult times.

Even it we do not have a vacancy for your required dates, please get in contact as we have good connections with other great local riverbank properties, who we will be happy to speak to on your behalf.

We don’t offer a per night rate for either High Season or School Holidays unless there is a vacancy two weeks before arrival.

We keep the keys in a combination Key Safe.

Electricity

We charge the same amount as Eastern Electricity via a £1 coin meter. Please ensure that your coins are not sticky, bent, or damaged as they may jam the meter. Use £1 coins only.  Please note that due to recent energy price rises, Dec 2021, I now pay 31p per unit, (including VAT and daily supply rate) and charge you the same.  You are not charged for electricity usage associated with the trace heating, macerator toilet or the sewage treatment plant.

The walls, floor and ceiling spaces are all fully insulated with the best insulation foam available to help keep the cost of heating as low as possible.

The Lounge windows / door will be replaced with double glazed units during November 2023, a Air to Air heat exchanger will also be installed as these are extremely efficient and will help to reduce your heating expenditure.
