Frequently Asked Questions / General Information

Please note that we now have a no-smoking policy in all of our cottages.

What time can I arrive?

Arrival time is between 3:30pm and 6pm. If we are able to offer an earlier arrival time, we will note this on your final confirmation. To ensure that each cottage is thoroughly cleaned and prepared to the standards that you would expect, we ask that you do not arrive earlier than this time. If you are going to arrive after 6pm, please call us to make appropriate arrangements to pick up the keys to your cottage.

What time do I have to leave?

The latest time of departure is 10am.

Are your cottages non-smoking?

Yes - all our cottages are non-smoking although you may smoke outside the cottages. We ask guests to respect this policy and please note that we reserve the right to charge for a commercial clean if this rule is broken.

Can I bring my pet?

We welcome well-behaved dogs and cats in all cottages except Little Shippen and Barn by prior arrangement only and subject to our ‘doggy rules’ (see terms and conditions). There is a limit of one dog in Huel and two in Farm and Shippen. We ask you to read our terms and conditions relating to dogs and ensure that you can comply with them before you make a booking for your dog.

What facilities are there in Herodsfoot?

Although not isolated, we are in a very quiet rural area. Herodsfoot is a peaceful hamlet with no shops or pub - just a church, post box and phone box. There are small shops, post office and pubs within two miles and a large supermarket in Liskeard (5 miles).

Please call us to discuss any special requirements; we will do all we can to accommodate your needs. Please note that these are old, stone cottages which unfortunately are not suitable for wheelchair users.
