Policies
Check-in: Check-in is available from 2pm
Check-out: Check-out is strictly by 10am
Children: The property is not suitable, nor set-up to cater to children or infants. They have a strict policy of a maximum of 2 (adult) guests per room. They promote their property as a romantic adults only establishment so it would be unfair to other guests to make any exceptions to this rule. All of their booking channels only allow a maximum of 2 (adult) guests to be selected when booking, and our 24 hour non-refundable policy still applies if you have to cancel within this period.
Pets: Unfortunately Alice’s Cottages is no longer ‘pet friendly’ and there are no exceptions to this.
Parking: Each cottage is allocated one parking space, cases these are directly outside the cottage except for Outlander, which is located just through the courtyard.
Laundry: Yes we do have a washing machine and dryer available for use free of charge. Details for access and times can be found in the first few pages of the welcome folder in your cottage.
