Depending on whether you have booked Sawmill Cottage as well as The Old Sawmill house, you can use all the main house, garden, patios, tennis court and parking area.
However if there are other guests staying in Sawmill Cottage which is next door to the main house, you will not have access to the orchard garden which is there's to use or the 2 parking spaces just outside of Sawmill Cottage.

If you need any help or support during your stay, I will be staying in Vine Cottage which is down the drive and will be available at any time. I will be available to show you around and will then leave you to enjoy your stay, unless you need anything.
