There is a barbecue set which comes in handy out on the patio in the garden, and guests have a starter pack of basic kitchen condiments and beverages.

There is a no-smoking and no-pets rule in force, as well as a no-parties restriction, but you are free to make use of the wireless internet, stereo, film library, books, parking space, iron and ironing board.

Once per stay there is a housekeeping service.
