Please move through the house with care, and note that guests must be able to climb stairs to reach the bedrooms. Bedroom 4 is reached down a narrow passage and through a lower doorway. The en-suite toilets are macerator units, so only toilet paper and human waste may be flushed, with bins provided for everything else. Take care opening the upstairs windows as some are very low. The minimum group age is 21 and no parties or events are permitted. The house has previously featured on a television programme exploring its long history. Self check-in is by key safe at the gate, with full instructions sent before arrival.

Please smoke in the enclosed back yard and dispose of cigarette ends responsibly • Enter through the back door into the utility area with any muddy clothes, boots or dogs.
