Guest access Hi, you will have access to the home, garden, hot tub, gym and the front parking area. Other things to note Hot tub is £150 for the minimum stay of 2 nights. Costs decrease proportionally for longer stays. 1 week stay charge: £300 This is a recent new charge and, if fuel costs decrease, we can remove it. We no longer have the hot tub running when there are no guests. We need 3 days’ notice before your stay if you wish to use the hot tub to allow sufficient heating time. Wood burning stove in sitting room available upon request for £15 per day for wood. We provide wood in the house for this purpose. Barbecue and gas available upon request for £15 per day. 1 week stay: £50 Thermostats: as a result of the increased fuel costs, we feel it is reasonable to lock the heating thermostat at 21C. If you require the home to be warmer, you may contact us and we can adjust it remotely. However, we reserve the right to charge for the resulting extra cost which we can calculate from the smart meter. This may seem to be miserly but some guests have left the heating on at 32C. This is our home which we let our occasionally to boost our income and it is not a business. Washing machine and tumble dryer available upon request for extra cost. Immersion heater is not for general use. If you need more hot water, let me know and I can boost the boiler remotely.
