Occupancy
- The Old Shop has one upstairs bedroom containing a king-size bed and a single futon suitable for a young child. The bedroom is spacious so there is room for a travel cot (not supplied). The shower room is just inside the door to the bedroom.
- There is one room downstairs. This is an open plan kitchen/ lounge with a small double sofa bed and two single fold out beds. There is not room for all these to be used at once but to allow some flexibility with sleeping arrangements.
- The property is best suited for a couple. However, we have had couples with a small baby, two friends, couples with a child/ teenager stay as well as three friends. There is only one shower room in the property which is ensuite but is just inside the door of the bedroom. We do not recommend our property for toddlers due to the stairs and the open plan nature of the downstairs.
- Pets are not allowed at this property even hypoallergenic pets.
