Please note the Courtyard area is not totally enclosed. We ask our guests to bring a dog bed and bowls and to dispose of any dog waste. Our guests stay at The Annexe for many different reasons. Some are visiting friends in the area, attending a wedding or party, many are traveling and appreciate a comfortable bed for the night, a lot are on business and want a 'home from home'. Increasingly many guests come just to relax, unwind, enjoy the beauty of the countryside and a pint at a genuine local pub.

We aim to respond to all enquiries and requests quickly as we know how frustrating it can be waiting.

Access to The Old Vicarage and its garden are strictly private. Other things to note The view from The Annexe window is of our home, The Old Vicarage, dating back to 1450. Please bear in mind The Annexe is upstairs and therefore unsuited to anyone who can't manage stairs. Please note, the Annexe is totally separate from The Old Vicarage. We love children and infants and want to ensure their safety at all times. They are welcome to stay at The Annexe but we ask that parents make their own risk assessment for the safety of their children on the premises as in our view it is not safe for mobile infants/toddlers for the following reasons: The Annexe is on the first floor so stairs could be a danger. There are also various uncovered sockets at a low level. The television is not secured to its stand. Kettle and toaster are at todder height. There are cleaning products in an unlocked cupboard. Unfortunately we do not supply cots or other infant related items. No charge is made for infants under the age of 2. We welcome well-behaved, clean dogs. We make a £20 charge per stay to cover the cost of extra cleaning. The Courtyard area is not totally enclosed. We ask our guest to please ensure they are happy to accept our Dog Rules (under House Rules). Please note the Courtyard area is not totally enclosed. We ask our guests to bring a dog bed and bowls and to dispose of any dog waste. Please note Airbnb policy is for hosts not to accept third party bookings.

If a potential buyer wishes to view the property we might ask guests to vacate The Annexe during the viewing. We would try our best to ensure this was at a convenient time for guests. The market is very quiet at the moment so the likelihood of this happening during your stay is unlikely.
