• All Cottages except Snow Cottage, The Old Forge, Holmwood, Cobb’s Cottage, The Coach House, have open fires  –  All cottages have independent modern Central Heating and do not depend on the fires for heating.
• Guests borrowing a Canoe from Mark will be asked to contribute to licensing and upkeep at £45 per day of use – guests use these canoes at their own risk and are asked to wear the buoyancy aids supplied and follow the safety instructions.
• The cottages are complete homes with TV’s DVD’s videos, Hifi, CD’s, Books, Games, maps, bed-linen, towels, soap, real & instant coffee, tea, sugar, salt, pepper, olive oil, fresh herbs, matches, candles, firelighters and all the items that have qualified for a 4 Star English Tourism Council rating. – in addition at The Grove Farm we often have for sale some local home made jams, eggs and honey that is produced by our own bees.
• VAT – When we became liable to pay VAT it was clear that guests would not want to pay an additional amount to the price list, so We have paid the VAT due ourselves without passing on the charge to you and therefore any change in the rate of VAT has no effect on the prices because you are not charged it and we have to pay it whether it is 1% or 20%.
