No meals provided, but full self-catering facilities (gas cooker, microwave, cooking utensils, refrigerator & larder storage) in our large family kitchen. Guests can cook and eat at any time as there is plenty of space for guest and family together. (We enjoy talking to guests while we eat!). We do ask guests to eat main meals in kitchen, to keep bedroom clean.

We have a cat. (She does not go in the guest-room but does visit the kitchen)
If guests are out in evenings, after family have gone to bed, we ask them to be very quiet when returning, as family are light sleepers and often go to bed early.
