Good to Know Before You Book
Self check-in is via a keybox, with full details sent the morning of arrival. The wider grounds are shared, so gardeners may come and go during your stay, though your privacy will always be respected. Our friendly dog named Duke lives on site; please don`t feed or hug him, as he`s claustrophobic. If you`ve booked the hot tub, it can be used between 10am and 10pm, and a shower before entering is asked of everyone; please use only plastic glasses outside and remove any fake tan beforehand, as it blocks the pipes (guests who ignore this may face a £100 fine). Pets are not allowed due to livestock at the property. No parties, and no smoking or vaping indoors. Maximum 4 guests, including any visitors, so please let us know in advance if you plan to invite anyone over.

Extra charges
Early check-in and later check-out can be requested at £25 per hour, up to 2 hours. A standard celebration package is available at £100, and a premium celebration package at £150. All are subject to availability and can be arranged after booking through a secure third-party platform.

Booking policy
Guests are required to pay a security deposit of £350 prior to their stay. This is fully refundable pending no damages or excess cleaning being required. This will be a pre-authorisation hold on the card taken at least 24 hours before you check in, and is automatically released within 3 days after check out.

Full payment is due 30 days before arrival and will be automatically charged to the card on file. If payment fails, it must be completed within 24 hours or the booking will be cancelled. Early payment is allowed; card fees up to 3 percent are non-refundable if cancelled.
