Guest access The whole house and patio will be yours to enjoy! Other things to note *The kitchen is stocked with cleaning products and cooking appliances. Please feel free to help yourself to anything in there. *In the dining room ottoman, you will find games for getting cosy on a rainy day. *It’s an old cottage with fairly steep stairs, so please do bare that in mind. *The second bedroom is a small double, so comfortable for 1 person but may be a little tight for 2, particularly if you are tall. *The temperature can be controlled by the thermostat located on the shelf next to the front door. It’s advisable to avoid turning it up at night since it is an old house and the pipes can be noisy! We turn it down to 18 degrees before we head up to bed. *The windows at the front of the house are very old and mostly sealed shut so please do not try and open. If you are too warm at night there is a fan in the wardrobe for you to use. *The key for the garden is in the dish in the kitchen for you to enjoy the courtyard!
