Notes on accommodation
The house is south facing and all of the windows look out over the gardens and pool area. The kitchen window overlooks a pretty mill and stream which runs behind the house. The gardens are private and secure. The only available access to the rear grounds is through the kitchen door. Therefore, the stream should not be an issue for families with very young children.
Parking is available either at the front of the house, or the rear, which people tend to find more convenient when carrying shopping, luggage etc. There is Wi fi access.
The house sleeps a maximum 14 people (Including use of a sofa-bed on the ground floor).
DISCOUNTS: We are able to offer discounts for smaller groups (Not during high season),who wish to enjoy the luxury and space the house provides. Please contact us to discuss options.
