Private parking on the driveway is available for 6 vehicles and there is free on-street parking nearby. Other Things to Note: Outdoor parties are strictly forbidden, including any day guests. The area is quiet and peaceful, and the local residents are particularly sensitive to noise. They will alert the property manager if this is not complied with. As a one-time exception, we have extended the pool availability for 2025 to the end of October. However, there is an additional fee of £100/booking to cover the extra costs of heating it at this time of year. It is unavailable over the winter months as the pool maintenance company is closed.

If you would like to use it in the slot for the other property, please get in touch, and we will let you know whether it is available.
