Other things to note:
- A $50 fee will be charged if guests fail to check out by the agreed time, with an additional charge for every 15 minutes thereafter.
- Please note that there are security cameras in the upstairs bedroom, facing out the window at front door and outside on the lower floor facing the back door. Please feel free to turn security cameras off during your stay, but if you do, please remember to switch them back on again.
- Floor heating downstairs is on and set to a minimum temperature. It must stay on due to damp issues.
- Try not to overload switches. The kitchen and bathroom are all on the same circuit. Avoid using more than
three appliances at one time (incl washing machine).
- The home is family-friendly; however, due to the steep staircase, it is more suited to older children and there are no baby gates for the stairs. Please supervise children at all times. If you have any questions, please reach out to us.
- We have a gardener who will attend this property from time to time. It is unlikely he will attend during your stay, however if he needs to attend the property during your stay, we will notify you.
- The combustion stove/heater is not for guest use. Parking is timed and fees will apply.

    Closeness to town centre was great. Unfortunately the rooms weren't clean with clothes and dirt under the bed from previous clients, and a potent smell downstairs that we had to have attended by the property to resolve. The ironing board, iron, and duster were sitting in the middle of the door to the bathroom which was odd. External bin was full on arrival. Door to middle bedroom had a broken door handle. Washing machine leaked and left large pools of water by the bathroom door. Chip in glass that nearly harmed when using it. Crack in upstairs bedroom wood door. QR code on welcome sign was to a different property and link emailed could not be opened for access to information on property.
