Helpful Tips for your stay
Please be mindful the stairs are potentially dangerous for children, also anyone relatively tall should watch out for ceilings and doorways (especially the door leading into the kitchen)!
Being a listed building when wet weather the windows and back door swell and so can become a bit sticky and tricky to open and close.
Be careful not to turn the kitchen tap on too hard as water splashes everywhere!
PLEASE MAKE SURE the shower curtain is inside the bath and pulled all the way around before showering to prevent water leaking and use the mat as the bath can be slippery.

Hot Tub Use
Please read the hot tub instructions before use and replace the cover after each use to keep it clean and hot! I ask you to please respect my neighbours by keeping the noise to a minimum and not use the hot tub after 9pm.
Please note there will be a floating chlorine dispenser in the hot tub- you may remove whilst in use but please make sure it is left in the tub in between uses. This is to ensure the water balance remains safe for your enjoyment throughout your stay.
Thank you and most importantly enjoy!
