Guest access The whole house and garden with the exception of loft hatches. Other things to note This is an amazing place. Only 4 miles from Bath and yet in the middle of the country. However, our only penance for being lucky enough to live here is that our WI-FI is inevitably not the fastest. It does work and you will receive the code but we would not recommend you relying on it for important business meetings. This is a very small price to pay for experiencing such a peaceful and beautiful place!
