    The Meadow Cottage is also available as a self catered vacation cottage for stays of one or more weeks.  Please note that unlike other vacation cottages in our area, the Meadow Cottage and Carriage House are the only cottages that are true stand alone private houses with no shared walls with another cottage.

There is no refund for early departures.  A fully refundable $500.00 security and cleaning deposit is required for weekly and short term bookings.  Maximum occupancy is 4 regardless of age.  The cottage may be rented for a leisure stay only.  Commercial use, extra guests, or parties carry an additional fee and must be discussed on an individual needs basis.
    • Traveling with young ones?  Need baby and child equipment?  We highly recommend Goin2Grammy's, a local company that specializes in renting high-quality baby furniture and equipment at affordable prices.  You can view their web site at Goin2Grammy's.  If you would like an employee of Hamanassett to take care of the delivery of your items prior to your arrival and removal after your departure, we will happily do so for a fee of $50.00.

         

     

    ~ Weekly and short term monthly rates are also available. ~

      We are happy to quote rates for self catered stays which

    include no breakfast and no housekeeping, no use of main house.  For self catered stays we stock basics such as toilet tissue and coffee to get you started your first night and you supply items for the rest of your stay.

    Linens are supplied.
