Cosy for Couples

All cottages on the Blue Moon Cottages site are completely private with high walled courtyards that completely enclose the cottages. The bedrooms are decorated to enhance the feeling of warmth and comfort and have window aspects out to courtyards and gardens. The cottages have books, videos and magazines to browse through. Winter is great as the log fire quickly warms up the cosy cottages and summer is perfect in the courtyard you never have to leave.

Comfy for kids and pets

Kids and pets are catered for.There are books, games, videos and toys for children to entertain themselves. In summer the bay beach only some 200 metres away, will keep the children entertained. Even though the courtyards are Pets are welcome and as the courtyard is fully fenced and very high pets are safe. The courtyard would probalby not suit a boisterous big dog! Please discuss pet requirements with the owner before your stay.

PLEASE NOTE THERE IS A 20% SURCHARGE FOR ONE NIGHT STAYS.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE RATE FOR SUNDAY NIGHT IS AS PER THE WEEKEND RATE.
