Guest access
Everything encompassed behind the gate to Acorn cottage you can access (the cottage & garden) please refrain from going into the outhouses as they may be unstable.
As per house rules you are more than welcome to park up in front of the cottage for check in unloading and check out loading, but please then move your car to a public car park in the village or the lay bys on front street. We will not park our car in front of the cottage whilst guests are using it :)
Other things to note
We have a converted horse trailer turned coffee box in the yard adjacent to the cottage. Opening hours vary & are updated on social media, Bramble & Oak Coffee Box, and are never before 10am.
It is a quiet village so it is never stowed off! Instead it’s a plus to bring something to the village for locals & visitors, with barista quality coffee, hot chocolate, cold drinks, iced coffees & packaged snacks.
Sometimes the box will be mobile and so won’t be available but so far our guests have loved being able to treat themselves to a lovely drink on the doorstep :)
