We want to ensure that the cottage meets your needs. We would rather decline your reservation request if we feel the cottage would not be suitable to meet your needs.  Please see Cider Cottage Accessibility Guide for more details.

*NB: The majority of the blue bars have now been removed from the bathroom. We are in the process of updating our Accessibility Guides.
