Ask before you book

Built from what the operator's page left open when we checked.

  1. Is your stated capacity the permitted occupancy, or a count of every bed and sofa?
  2. Which rooms and bathrooms work for a wheelchair or walker?
  3. Are pets allowed?
  4. Is alcohol allowed on the property?
  5. What is the minimum stay?
