A one way driving system is in operation on the lane so the cottage can only be accessed at the top end coming through Western Lane. If you put our postcode into satnav, it will bring you this way. The turning down is narrow so may be a tight squeeze for larger cars or vans so may require you to undertake a 2 point turn to get the car in the correct position. You can pull up outside the house to unload your luggage.
