Guest access Guests have private use of the entire cabin, the outside patio area and surrounding gardens/field area through the big wooden gates directly in front of the cabin. The lake is part of a small working fishery which may be used by up to a maximum of four anglers during your stay. Anglers use designated fishing areas separate from the cabin and its private garden, so guests can enjoy their own space throughout their stay. Private free parking is included for vehicles. The car park is located just a short 2 minute walk down a gravel path from the cabin. Cars cannot access directly outside the cabin. Please note that other areas of the property, including the main house, horse stables and fields are not accessible to guests. Other things to note The lake operates as a quiet working fishery, and anglers may be seen fishing during your stay. Fishing access is not included with the cabin booking, but guests may request it in advance, subject to availability. Please message us to check availability. The cabin is set in a peaceful countryside location while remaining conveniently close to local attractions, including Broxbourne train station (direct trains to Central London in 28 minutes), Hertfordshire Zoo, Broxbourne Woods, and Lea Valley Park. Barbecue: A small barbecue suitable for 2 people, or a larger barbecue suitable for 4, is available on request only, subject to a small additional fee to cover charcoal and cleaning. Please message us in advance if you’d like to use it. Fire Pit: A dedicated fire pit area with seating is available, for a small additional fee, for guests to enjoy in the field area just a short distance from the cabin near the woods with our optional campfire package. This includes seasoned firewood, firelighters and matches. If you’d like to add this to your stay, just let us know before or during your visit. For safety and to help us maintain the fire pit, only the firewood supplied by us may be used. Outside firewood or other materials must not be burned. Under no circumstances are campfires allowed to be made anywhere else on the property, or the fire pit to be moved out of its designated area. Horses and dogs live on other parts of the property. They are kept in separate areas well away from the cabin area and lake but you may see or hear them during your stay. Standard Check-in is 2–6pm. Later check in may be possible but guests arriving later must contact us in advance to arrange this. As check-in is a personal meet and greet, the latest arrival we can usually accommodate is 10pm. Failure to agree a late arrival time in advance may result in us being unable to accommodate check-in outside the stated hours. As the cabin is in a rural lakeside setting, you may see some insects or spiders and other wildlife especially in summer. This is a natural part of the countryside experience. The property is booked for guests only with no events or gatherings and a maximum of 4 guest at all times.
