A local lady, Kim Tattersall has a mobile beautician business ‘Perfected by Kim’ and will travel to the cottages to pamper you. She does lots of beauty treatments and massages. A nice treat before a big celebration!

For those guests attending weddings or other special events in the area, or even for a gathering of ladies, there is a local lady from Preston who will come and style your hair and do your make up if required. She came for our daughter’s wedding in December 2014 and ‘styled’ our daughter and the bridesmaids.
Here’s her website or contact her on Tel No. 01772 430167

We have wood fired hot tubs in our largest three properties, Woodpecker, Oakhouse and The Old Stables.

For the smaller properties, No. Hot tubs cannot be hired. Our insurance doesn’t cover this and therefore we cannot allow it.

No. We have livestock on site.

The only property that does not have an electric vehicle charger, is Oakhouse. All the other properties have EV chargers, and use the Voltshare app. If you are staying in Oakhouse and require an EV charger, just let us know and we will advise which of the units are available for you to use.
