Other things to note Guests manual in the listing provides information to maximize the enjoyment of your stay. There is also a copy in the house on the marble top table in the dining room or on the coffee table in the sitting room, it gets restless and likes to move about. Please keep dogs off the upholstered chairs and the beds. There is also a portable cot with linen and a high chair if required. Please let me know so I can have it available when you arrive. There are also electric plug covers if required, again let me know and they will be left out for you. Patti's Wood: How I spend your money. I have been working over the last 4 years with a retired forester who lives in the village, and a field I own of approximately 4 acres, on the other side of the Bridleway. It has been planted with native trees and shrubs, which include alders, poplars, beech, English oak, hazel, hawthorn, willow, etc. There are approximately 100 trees in situ and the wood is my own green initiative, established to absorb carbon dioxide and increase the habitat for local wildlife. I am funding the project through some of the money that you pay for accommodation. It is a gift to the next generation and is named after my wife of 40 years, who died in 2019. Please note that this is our family house and I let it out when I am away for work or related matters. The house has been available for short term lets from mid 1990, when we stayed there, and we bought it from those owners and renovated it while living there. Following my wife's death, I am renting it out as these old thatch cottages need warm bodies to keep the circulation going.
