Good to Know Before You Book
The top floor is reached by a steep staircase and is better suited to adults than young children. Under the eaves, ceiling height is lower in parts, so mind your head. The village is genuinely quiet, so noise carries in the evenings and neighbourly consideration is appreciated. Check-in is self check-in via a lockbox, with full instructions sent 24 hours before arrival.

Extra charges
Early check-in and late check-out can each be arranged at £30 per hour, subject to availability. A private driver and a private chef can also be arranged, with prices confirmed by the team. Any of these can be requested after booking through a secure third-party platform.

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.

Cancellation policy
Full refund if cancelled 30 or more days before arrival. Fifty percent refund if cancelled fourteen to thirty days before arrival. No refund if cancelled within fourteen days of arrival.
