What to do and see around lerags house

You will find yourself easily filling in the days around lerags. It is generally anticipated by us that  guests are here to explore and relax and there is so much to see and do. Naturally we can accommodate both, however, during the middle of the day we have our only opportunity to achieve the many things that are needed to run the house and cater for your stay. If you need to be at the house during the day (between 11 am & 4 pm) please liaise with either of us just to check our movements for the day as we do need to be out sometimes! We are obliged by fire regulations to not allow guests in the house when we are not at home. If you think this may potentially be a problem please discuss this with us.
