No smoking anywhere inside the property. This is a NO shoes house. Please take your shoes off at entry thank you. The indoor wood burner seen on the pictures is just a decoration. There is a security camera outside on the front of the property. There is also a monitored noise sensor fitted inside the house in the lounge and on the patio area. It cannot hear or record conversations but detects noise on a decibel level. It's set to a relaxed level so you can have fun without worrying. But excessive high levels of noise like a boisterous party, shouting or dog barking for over 10 minutes continuously will trigger the sensor. This is to protect our neighbours. 📍Information on surrounding area: Discover the perfect blend of traditional Cotswolds character and contemporary comfort in this stunning mock Tudor retreat!
