Do you have Wi-Fi and what is your phone signal like?
Yes we have Wi-Fi across the site through two super fast broadband connections. In some areas of Tanglwood the signal can be a bit patchy due to the thickness of the walls but you can comfortably get it in the lounge and dining room. Phone signal outside is generally good with most networks offering 4G signal. Inside the houses can be a bit patchy in places again due to the thickness of some walls.
Can we have fireworks or use drones?
Due to us being in a rural area with livestock around the property we are not able to allow fireworks or the use of drones on the site.

We are self-catering cottages and do not provide food.

You can see a Sample menu with contact details and how to order here. Vegetarian and Vegan options also available.
