The cottage has three bedrooms, two with a double bed (4' 6" wide) and one children's room with two single beds (2' 6"). All beds have interior-sprung mattresses and duvets (king-size for the double beds) and two pillows per person. Linen option: for an extra charge of £11 per person per week, we will provide linen and towels, and beds made up on arrival.

The bathroom has a bath with hand-held shower, heated towel rail, airing cupboard and shaver point.

There are free logs for the open fire in the sitting room, a colour TV and a DVD player. Heating is by electricity. Everything is operated by a coin meter (£1 coins) except the five storage heaters which are included in the rent.

The kitchen/dining room has an electric cooker, microwave oven, fridge/freezer, washer/drier, kettle, toaster, coffer-maker and plug-in radio.

There is a pay phone (no Operator calls except 999), and a public phone 200 yards away. Mobiles don't work here. The cottage has its own garage and roadside parking. There is a picnic table, chairs, and small barbecue if you want to cook out by the river. On arriving, you will find a bottle of wine to prove your holiday has begun.

REGRETFULLY, WE CAN'T ACCOMMODATE PETS.

Ball Cottage is our own holiday home. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
