Good to know - The pond is for viewing only - depth unknown and may contain eels - The right side stove top is currently cracked, and we don`t recommend using it during your stay as we try to get this issue fixed. - Please note the exhaust fan above the kitchen stove is currently out of order, this will be getting fixed shortly - The single beds in the loft are best suited for children - The TV is streaming only - As this home is located in the country you may come across rodents and bugs - This home is on rain water so water pressure is low - Guests have full private access to the home, pool, and gardens (sheds excluded) - Please enquire if you would like to host an event here. - Guest count must not exceed occupancy count, unless otherwise agreed upon
