If preferred I can meet you when you arrive and show you where things are. Furthermore, you can message any time on VRBO or via text or call and I will be happy to help. We would like to be very honest to ensure that your stay is exactly as you expect it, so please note the following ahead of booking your stay. We are still decorating some areas and getting the property exactly up to the standard we want it to be at, therefore you may notice small imperfections such as spots that need another coat of paint etc. The boiler located in the kitchen can be quite noisy when running water or flushing the toilet but it doesn’t stay on for too long. Please also be aware that our own property is connected to your accommodation so you may hear us in our day to day lives or walking upstairs, but we will always be respectful, quiet and we aren’t a noisy family in general. If you come without a car or plan to use public transport the nearest bus stop is a 15 minute walk and the local pubs and Tesco express in the village are a 30 minute walk away. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 2 steps to reach entrance - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator - Smooth flooring in public areas - Thin carpet in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Garden - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103780000/103774600/103774558/e6c992e9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Glamping Cabin - Great for Hikers - Breakfast inc!
