Guests have access to the whole semi-detached property as described. The cupboards in the utility room are locked for my personal use.

Please be advised, the garden is private and for the property owner's use only who lives next door.

My home is attached to yours and is in a quiet close knit neighbourhood, so strictly no parties or loud music allowed please. Quiet hours are from 10pm to 7am.

Standard check-in time is from 4pm onwards and check-out time is by 10am. We may be able to offer a later check-out or earlier check-in for an extra cost via prior arrangement only.

Strictly no smoking or vaping indoors please.

Sorry not pets allowed. A tiny dog lives on-site, so the property is not suitable for those with pet allergies.

The Stables is a charming barn conversion with original character features, including very squeeky floorboards in the main bedroom upstairs which may not be to everyone's taste!

We can supply a travel cot & high chair for an additional cost of £25 per stay, please kindly request these at the time of booking. Please bring your own bedding for the travel cot.

Linen, towels & toiletries are provided along with a welcome pack including tea/coffee/sugar/milk sachets and snacks.
