Please do not allow your dogs on the furniture or upstairs or leave them unattended. We suggest this property is not suitable for anyone with limited mobility due to the steps required to access the cottage from the parking area. Children are welcome at West Wind, but please note that the rear garden is steep and there are many steps, so we recommend that children must be supervised. The patio area at the front of the cottage is enclosed, but a very small dog may be able to get through the balustrade. The rear garden is enclosed and a hand rail follows the steps to the side of the cottage and all the way up to the seating area at the top of the garden. Indoor Description Entrance to the property is via a porch with space for shoes, boots and hanging coats, then into the sitting room with two sofas and chair, and realistic 'electric wood burner', which provides heat as well as cosy orange flames.

The second ground floor bedroom has twin beds. At the far end of the sitting room is the dining room, again with lovely hill and sea views. The stairs lead from the dining area to the first floor where there is a third double bedroom (King-size bed) with panoramic hill and sea views and an en-suite bathroom, comprising bath, toilet and hand basin. All three of the bedrooms have a hanging rail which can accommodate at least a dozen hangers each and all bedrooms have good-sized chests of drawers. From the Dining Room is the shower room (comprising large walk in shower, toilet and hand basin) and the modern Kitchen which is at the rear of the property and fitted with all new appliances. The external door from the kitchen opens onto a covered area, idea for storing boots, etc. There is a warm utility/boiler room to the rear which is perfect for hanging wet coats. Also in here is the washing machine and a Belfast sink with shower attachment (perfect for washing off small muddy dogs). Outside tap. A travel cot and high chair are stored in the loft space (eaves storage) accessed from a door on the landing. There are books, DVD's and games for all ages.

There is ample space for sitting to enjoy a book, plus there is a large table with 6 chairs for dining al fresco too. A gated set of steps lead up the side of the cottage to the rear garden, which climbs to the furthest point of the lawned (steep) garden to the rear, to make the most of the fantastic views over the roof-tops, again towards the coastline. A bench and seating area has been created so you can unwind in this private area. The external door from the kitchen opens onto a covered area at the rear of the cottage which is idea for storing boots, etc. Off this covered area there is a warm utility/boiler room to the which is perfect for hanging wet coats.

From West Wind, it's a short walk into the village. Please note: Children are welcome at West Wind, but please be aware that the rear garden is very steep and there are several flights of steps leading to the top decking area. Gates are in place, but we recommend that all young children must be supervised at all times. Parking A private parking bay for up to two cars is beside/below the cottage. The lane to the cottage is a private road only shared with a handful of other properties just beyond West Wind, but it's a no-through road, so it's usually very quiet in terms of traffic. You can park one other vehicle further up the lane keeping close to the hedge above the verge. Please be aware this is shared with neighbours and not to block anyone in. Also, you can park by the village hall which is opposite the Top Ship inn, I think you may need to get a permit, there is a sign in the car park. Pets Description Dogs are welcome (max 2) upon payment of supplement of £15 per dog. Please do not allow your dogs on the furniture or upstairs or leave them unattended. Restricted mobility Although there are bedrooms on the ground floor, we suggest this property is not suitable for anyone with limited mobility due to the steps required to access the cottage from the parking area.
