Guest access The property is accessed via a separate driveway entering the courtyard garden through an old wooden door to the right of a green garage. There is a small step into the courtyard garden. You’ll find the cottage in your left. The lockbox is above the refuse bins. Other things to note We have mobile takeaway options outside Bob’s shop in the village to include: Fish & chips on a Saturday. If you arrive late and don’t feel like cooking then try the Six Bells opposite St Peter’s Church. Great chef who always goes that extra mile for customers with special dietary requirements. The alternative village pub is the Surrey Oaks, good craft beer but personally I don’t rate the food. Finally, the Fox Revived at Norwood Hill has a great contemporary vibe, it’s 10 minutes away by car.
