Guest access Guests have sole usage and access to Little Rectory. The front door is via a wrought iron spiral staircase - please bear this in mind if you struggle with stairs. Guests also have usage of the the courtyard area but please note that access to the back door of the main house is within the courtyard area. Whilst the host family won't use the courtyard during your stay they will have access to their backdoor. Other things to note Little Rectory does not have a fully fitted kitchen or dining room area. However there is a microwave, mini fridge, toaster, tea and coffee making facilities. In the summer many of our guests use the courtyard space for a BBQ. Plus our guests love using Deliveroo and taking time away from cooking, visiting the very many restaurants we have minutes from the property. Gate to the courtyard is to be kept closed at all times.
