The cottage adjoining the Redcastle House used to be the servants quarters but has since been modernised combining quaintness with comfort. The other properties are farm conversions from Steadings and are called The Steading and Steading 1 and 2. All new and well insulated they make good all year round lets, each with an enclosed garden.
