Good to Know Before You Book
The two bedrooms, the bathroom and the WC all sit upstairs, so the stairs will be used throughout your stay. One well-behaved dog is welcome downstairs but should be kept out of the bedrooms at all times. Parking is free on the premises in the layby out front and the service road behind, though a space cannot be guaranteed. A car makes life easiest here, as buses into Winchester take roughly 30 to 40 minutes and services are limited. Check-in is self check-in via keybox, with full details shared closer to arrival. Keys should be returned
Self check-in via lockbox; full instructions will be sent the day of arrival.
• Up to 1 well-behaved dog is welcome downstairs, but should be kept out of the bedrooms at all times; please include your dog on your booking.
• No parties or events.
• No smoking anywhere on the property.
Maximum 5 guests; the listed capacity is the absolute limit and includes any visitors.
A travel cot and baby safety gates will be available, so please use them where needed for little ones. Please start the dishwasher before you leave, return the keys to the keybox on departure, and treat the home and its contents with care, as it has belonged to one family since the 1970s.
Any questions before or during your stay, please send a message and I will be happy to help.
