A Home to Relax and Unwind
The lounge sets the tone the moment you step in, with striking library-print wallpaper lined floor to ceiling with the spines of old books, a golden sunburst mirror, soft brown leather sofas piled with coral and mustard cushions, and a warm glow from the floor lamp in the corner. New wood-effect flooring runs underfoot, a JVC flat screen TV sits on a chunky wooden cabinet, and the air source heat pump keeps the whole apartment cosy. Quirky vintage curios, a vintage telephone, brass candlesticks and Shakespeare memorabilia give the space genuine personality.

Good to Know Before You Book
The apartment sits on a main road through the village, so you may hear occasional passing traffic during the day.

Check-in is self-service via a keypad on the green front door, with the code shared 24 hours before arrival. Please remove shoes where possible to help with cleaning, and quiet hours apply after midnight out of respect for neighbours. Up to 3 well-behaved pets are welcome (please keep them off the furniture and clean up after them). No smoking, no parties, no loud music.

Extra charges
Well-behaved pets are welcome at £8 per pet per stay, up to a maximum of 3 pets. Early check-in and late check-out can be arranged for £10 each, subject to availability, requested up to 48 hours before arrival.
