We have a few house rules that are very important to us. NO shoes inside. If you are someone that cannot imagine to take your shoes off inside then this house is absolutely NOT for you. Plus no smoking anywhere inside the house. Plus please treat our furniture with care. And most importantly you need to love cats and feed our little darling whilst you are there. If you are using the place as a base and will not be there at times (more than 1 day) then again this place is not for you. She often goes and eat at our neighbours as she is a very friendly cat but ultimately she likes hanging in our house and eat and drink from there. Guest access All of it apart from the studio in the garden. Other things to note you will need to feed our cat and also she would love a cuddle. meaning YOU MUST LOVE CATS - And again. Absolutely NO Shoes inside the house. I mean it :) IF it would be difficult for you to remember to take your shoes off then this home is not for you.
