You can also arrange Ocado, Sainsburys, Tesco or Waitrose to deliver groceries to the property if you like, but you will need to be available to let them in.
Parking for two cars, can arrange for more if required. You will definitely need a car to access public spaces. The area is very popular for cycling and horse-riding, if that's your choice of getting around!
You're welcome to bring up to two dogs at no extra cost, but please let me know.
Dog owners - please make sure the garden is clear and do collect dog poop on your walks. Dogs to stay on the floor and not to use the furniture inside, or outside. Please do not leave the dogs on their own in the lodge. If your dogs are not safe around livestock, please keep them on leads, we are surrounded by farmland. Please always cover the hot tub when not in use.
Thank you for leaving the place clean.
Definitely no smoking, candles or open flames in the house, thank you
