Please note:
Due to the property’s elevated position, access involves steps from the parking area and may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility.

While the property is not generally suitable for dogs due to the shared garden setting and the owner’s resident rescue greyhounds, requests for one well-behaved dog may occasionally be considered by prior arrangement.
