The dining area consists of a large dining table and there is a living space with sofa, chairs and a wide-screen TV. The private bedrooms are also on this floor, along with 2 shower cubicles and 2 WCs (one of which is suitable for assisted needs access). A well-equipped utility room and indoor drying area sits to the rear of the property and has a washing machine and wooden airers, together with exclusive access to an outdoor drying facility that includes a wetsuit rinse-off point and a wooden wet-suit rack.

Two warm, well-lit rooms, with single beds, which can be adapted to include a double bed and/or additional seating areas. The rooms overlook the old mill, together with one of the best-known corncrake nesting grounds on the island. Black-out blinds allow for sleep during long summer nights, or, when open, star-gazing for the wakeful.

Externally, a wooden wetsuit drying rack is provided, along with a dedicated drying area for the sole use of guests. There is a large car park and metal cycle stand for 8 bicycles. At the end of the building is an open-plan patio, accessed from the living area, which houses picnic tables and benches and catches the sun all day.

Accessibility

There is ramped access to the ground floor accommodation. There are no steps once inside the building on the ground floor, although the shower cubicle's require a step up to access. There is one WC which is modified for wheelchair use. Externally, the car park area is cobbled, but a vehicle can be brought up to the concrete ramp at the door. We took part in an accessibility audit in 2023 which has informed our signage and lighting for 2025 amongst other things. If you feel able, do share any sensory/physical or other medical need you or a member of your party might have and we will do our best to adapt the accommodation accordingly.
