Log Home & Cottages

Golf Breaks –

Our Log Homes and Cottages have always operated golf holidays as small Blocks of accommodation, an extension to our hotel with each room completely self-contained and every room en-suite. They are operated on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis with golf. A maximum of 6 people may stay in any of our properties from any number of households as per the government legislation.

There is a communal area in each Log Home & Cottage which can only be used under social distancing and government guidelines with a sanitiser station. Social distancing rules and relevant government guidelines will be displayed on the entrance notice board of each accommodation block as a reminder. A sanitiser station will be positioned in the communal area of every house and must be used on entry and when leaving the communal areas.

Guests will be encouraged to use the en-suite bathrooms in their rooms rather than the communal house bathroom. Any mugs, glasses and utensils used from the kitchen will need to be placed into the dishwasher of every house and switched on to clean rather than washed by hand. Whom ever you will be sharing your accommodation with will also be your mandatory dinning partner for all restaurant meals.

Self Catering Breaks –

Up to 6 people from any number of households may join together to rent the whole property (not just a room) on a Self catering basis.

General Log Homes & Cottages information –

All books and board games have been removed, we have also removed a large selection of the plates, glasses and cutlery to leave a select amount that can be easily sanitised and accounted for.

Staff will have masks, gloves and bibs for PPE as well as mandatory regular use of sanitiser and hand washing. Pillow protectors will be changed and washed on a high temperature as standard (rather than just the pillowcase) after every stay.
