PLEASE NOTE - Due to the quiet and peaceful nature of the area, guests must be mindful of noise at all times to respect our neighbours and note we operate quiet hours between 2000-0800hrs, which must be strictly adhered to, with no noise from the garden above hushed chatting during these hours. The hot tub is for relaxed enjoyment, not a focal point for drinking and shouting. PLEASE NOTE - the hot tub is a large 8 person tub and is wood fired as per the description and photos. If you do not have experience with wood fired hot tubs, this means the water will be cold on your arrival and requires the guest to tend a fire to warm up the water. In the winter months this will take several hours of tending the fire. We provide logs to get you started for inside and outside but if you intend on using both the indoor log burner and hot tub, you will likely require more, so it is best to come prepared to avoid disappointment. PLEASE NOTE the property has steps to access all entrances and there are different levels to the ground floor, unfortunately making it unsuitable for those with severe mobility issues.
