There are 3 steps into the property and the driveway is a little uneven in places so please take care. There is parking for one vehicle on the drive. EV Charger available upon request, a fee of 0.55p kwh to be charged separately. Pets considered at extra £20 per stay, cost to be applied separately. You may use the garden but please be aware of the wobbly and uneven steps. The immediate area is residential so please respect the neighbours. I supply bathroom towels but you may want to bring beach towels. I also supply a starter pack of tea, coffee, milk and sugar and toilet roll. There are Honey Bees at the end of the garden. They should not affect your stay in any way as they are far enough away form the accommodation, but please keep clear of the hive.
