Other things to note
This is my home, which I'm letting while away for the summer. I'd love to welcome people who will enjoy the house but I'd ask you to please treat it as you would the home of a good friend. My neighbours are delightful so I'd be very grateful if you could be respectful with noise levels and generally be nice to them!

About the host
Hosted by Seylan Baxter
While it's being rented I either stay on a boat or at a friend's or sometimes I stay in the cabin in the garden but I don't bother guests and they have exclusive use of the house and patio area.
Why they chose this property
