Services

We do have an EV charger on site, which is payable directly to owner if used.

As we operate a quiet campsite, we ask all guests in our cottages to also respect the 10:30pm quiet rule – one of the reasons visitors choose The Cud Life, to ensure a peaceful retreat.

Availibility

We are lucky enough to be very busy and allow guests to choose their start and end day (minimum stay 2 days), as we can usually fill in the gaps. Equally, cottages can be available for slightly longer short lets as a fully furnished accommodation, ideal for those people ‘in between’ houses.

You can book direct with us via our contact form, our email or if you wish to speak to us by phone on 01423 565855 (if we can’t answer immediately, please leave a message and we will get back to you) where we can confirm availability and price.
