Children & Extra Guest Policy:

We take your safety very seriously and must therefore point out that this old house and its garden may contain unfamiliar hazards. The property has special character because it offers a real experience of another lifestyle; it is not a sanitised replica. Please keep this in mind and be careful and cautious throughout your stay.
Children especially need to know that polished floors are slippery, and stairs are dangerous. Swings, tree climbing and garden exploring are good fun here, provided old fashioned care and good behaviour is used to keep safe.
