CARE OF THE PROPERTY
We have tried to make our holiday accommodation as comfortable, clean and relaxing as possible for you and all our other guests to enjoy. Please respect our furniture and belongings and leave the property in a clean and tidy condition when you leave. We have a no pet and no smoking policy within the property and due to the proximity of the large thatched roof we ask you to not to use BBQ’s or other open outdoor fires. The property isn’t suitable for children under 12 years but we warmly welcome ‘babes in arms’ and can usually offer babysitting if necessary.

We have available a cot and a high chair, at no extra cost; let us know at time of booking.

Please feel free to use the swimming pool and changing hut but bring your own bathing towels. Similarly the hard tennis court is available and although we have some raquets and balls you may want to bring your own. Please don’t bring fishing equipment – the pond has ornamental carp only!
