Other things to note
Our house is situated in a very quiet, family oriented neighbourhood with elderly and young children in both neighbouring properties. We request that guests are respectful of the local community and that noise is kept to a minimum. Therefore it is unsuitable for guests who are after more of a party vibe stay. We do not host stag or hen parties for this reason.
