PLEASE NOTE - Due to the quiet and peaceful nature of the area, guests must be mindful of noise at all times to respect our neighbours and note we operate quiet hours between 2000-0800hrs, which must be strictly adhered to, with no noise from the garden above hushed chatting during these hours. The hot tub is for relaxed enjoyment, not a focal point for drinking and shouting. PLEASE NOTE - the hot tub is a large 8 person tub and is wood fired as per the description and photos. If you do not have experience with wood fired hot tubs, this means the water will be cold on your arrival and requires the guest to tend a fire to warm up the water. In the winter months this will take several hours of tending the fire. We provide logs to get you started for inside and outside but if you intend on using both the indoor log burner and hot tub, you will likely require more, so it is best to come prepared to avoid disappointment. PLEASE NOTE the property has steps to access all entrances and there are different levels to the ground floor, unfortunately making it unsuitable for those with severe mobility issues. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 9 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - On a river ### Things to do - Foosball table ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,260 square feet ## Policies ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs only 1 total (up to 9 kg per pet) ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.
