The space

The Library is a light, spacious annexe away from the house at the bottom of our garden. It is beautifully furnished with a comfortable, eclectic feel. Downstairs has slate and terracotta flooring throughout with various rugs, comfy leather sofas and a woodburner for cosy cooler evenings and perfect for winter stays. Free logs provided all year round.There's a separate loo, a bathroom with large walk-in shower/wetroom (no bath) There is a bijou, but well equipped kitchen with halogen hob, combi microwave, dishwasher and fridge.(no conventional oven) From the kitchen is a door to a small courtyard with outside table and chairs.



Upstairs is an open galleried space with a day bed at one end and 2 bedrooms with seagrass flooring throughout. The bedrooms are simple, calm and uncluttered, one has a double bed, the other 2 singles. These can easily be put together to make a kingsize bed if needed. The beds have feather duvets and pillows, we do have synthetic ones if required. Just let us know in advance.



There is a "sheila maid" which is great for drying towels.



We will provide hammam towels for your use in the house but please bring your own beach towels.



You are free to enjoy the garden, shared with ourselves. We have a summerhouse, hammock and slack line. Please note there is a small pond so keep an eye on little ones!



To help you fully escape we do not provide a television.



There is very little light pollution so on a clear night the sky is magical, bright with stars and the milky way.

Guest access

The Library will be your self contained home for your stay. It is fully self-catering so breakfast is not included.

Other things to note

During school holidays we only accept weekly bookings from Saturday.



Breakfast is not included.



There is no oven but there is a combination microwave and a hob.



We encourage our guests to recycle and be as green as possible. We have a sewage treatment plant so discourage anything other than pee, pooh and paper down the loos. No oil or fat down the sinks please and we try not to use too many strong cleaning products as these can have an adverse effect on the ecosystem within the treatment plant.



The water here is great to drink, please don’t buy bottled water, bring your own water bottles to fill up each day.



We have a friendly young dog called Siddy Bennett that lives with us in the main house and a cat called Violet
