This property is for family stays and respectful guests only – no parties, events or loud noise permitted.

Please be aware our garden is professionally maintained on a regular schedule, this may sometimes overlap with guest stays, someone may need to access the grounds. They won’t need to enter the house or disturb you, and the work should be quick and unobtrusive.

I have help managing my property. My house is professionally cleaned, the linen and towels are replaced with freshly laundered supplies between each stay.

We offer a remote self check-in facility to give you flexibility if arriving late, and 24/7 guest support is on hand should you need any assistance during your stay.

The property is setup to offer remote access with easy self check-in, and no direct contact with anyone is required. We offer 24/7 guest support should you need any support or assistance during your check-in or stay.

Sewage treatment tank

- Due to the remote location of the property, it is not connected to main sewage. Within the grounds there is a sewage treatment tank. It's really important that you do not dispose of anything other than human waste or toilet paper into the toilets, as anything else (particularly wet wipes, nappies, etc) will cause the system to block and or damage the treatment tank. Resulting in a large cost to rectify.

Gardener

- Our gardener visits once a fortnight, he doesn't need to access the house, but you may see him mowing the lawn or tending to the raised beds

Bed linen

- High quality bed linen, including towels are supplied
- Mid-stay cleaning and linen changes are required for stays longer than 16 nights (these are provided complimentary)

Toiletries and Consumables

- We provide refillable bathroom toiletries (refilled by our cleaners on each changeover). This helps us reduce waste and minimise our impact on the environment. However, this only works if you don’t ‘borrow’ them. Please leave them behind so other guests can enjoy them too.
- We also provide a washing-up pack, toilet roll and kitchen roll. If more is needed there are several supermarkets close by

Pets

- We are happy to accept up to three, small well behaved dogs. However, please do not allow them on to soft furnishings or upstairs


Child Friendly

- This is a child friendly property - There are 2 x travel cots located in the property (please bring your own bedding) . We also have a high chair available for guest use within the property.
