Getting Around:
This is a very rural location so a vehicle will most likely be needed for your stay here. Unless you are a very keen cyclist! There is ample private parking on the gated driveway, with two spaces under cover. There is also an EV charger available for a charge of £20 per charge.
Other Things to Note:
The hot tub is being installed at the end of August/start of September 2025. If you are staying during these months, we will be in touch to let you know if it will be available for you.
The property in its entirety is made up of Partway House, The Barn and Partway Lodge. Guests will have exclusive access to Partway House, The Barn, their parking area and gardens. Partway Lode is a self-contained bungalow with its own parking and garden, and is separated from Partway House and the Barn by a fence. It also shares the entrance to the driveway.
The gardener attends every 2 weeks for 6 hours, after 10 am, and only on weekdays. We will try and schedule this when it is vacant, but we can't guarantee it.
Partway Lodge is currently occupied by a single resident, but will become available for rent by Christmas 2025.
Interaction with Guests:
We will be available for the duration of your stay via phone, message or email. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any queries or concerns!
