There is also an array of home made ready made meals such as beef in red wine, lamb and apricot pasties, and vegetarian meals - you pick and pay at the end of your stay - click here for details

Short breaks are available at times out of peak season, when 3 or 4 nights are charged at 72% of full week price, and 1 or 2 nights at 55% of full week price. Example price for short stay. Say you wanted to stay in Barn Owl Cottage when a full week might cost £416. A 1 or 2 night stay would cost £416 x .55 = £228 i.e. 55% of full week price. A 3 or 4 night stay would cost £416 x .72 = £300 (i.e. 72% of full week cost) These would normally start on a Friday, Monday or Tuesday.
