Guests have a private area of the large lawned garden surrounded by trees and shrubs with an abundance of birdlife. There’s a picnic bench so you can eat in the fresh air (BBQs and candles aren’t permitted due to the risks with the thatched roof), and a couple camping chairs to sit on in the sunshine with a good book.
There’s ample parking on the gravel drive for a couple of cars and a bike rack but please bring your own bike locks for security.



Sorry no dogs are allowed and please respect that this is a holiday home in a quiet rural spot so no parties or loud music! As there is a thatched roof no BBQs or candles are permitted.
