House Rules
Pets Allowed: No
Smoking Allowed: No

Smoking is permitted outside.
Given the proximity to a small creek across the road (and no gates on the driveway) plus the lack of child-proof gates top or bottom of the internal stairs, we usually recommend the house as being suitable for grown-ups and children over 10.
