Food packs to allow you to get through to your first local shop are available on request.

Pets

We regret that pets cannot be allowed. There are unfortunately too many sheep and farm dogs to allow any.

Rubbish disposal and recycling

Our local refuse collectors only collect from one bin but we will be pleased to recycle bottles/glass and cans/foil if you will be good enough to leave such items in the bins provided. We will be grateful if you will place all other rubbish in the dustbin prior to departure. Bins can be found in the outhouses.

Road and farmyard

Please note that vehicular access to the Cottage is by our farm track. Otby Lane is a Public Footpath and links with an extensive network of public rights of way, including the Viking Way. Information and leaflets are provided on the stand in the Cottage hallway.

Please also remember Otby is a working farm and that for a variety of reasons we are unable to grant access beyond the farm yard other than for fishing. Tractors and farm vehicles will often be using the yard and access road. Ample passing places are provided!

Please be aware that fishermen visiting Otby Lake also use the same access.

Shoot Days

Shoots take place during the season (September – January) and the yard is busy around 9pm and 3pm on these days. There is usually very little noise or disturbance around the Cottage during a shoot. You will be made aware of relevant dates with your Booking Confirmation but if you have any particular questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact the Owners.
