There is a five-barred gate leading to the private parking area for up to 3 cars, where you will also find an EV electric car charger. (Flat rate of £30 per week can be added to your booking details) If additional parking is required, a car could be parked in front of the garage.

The Paddock is surrounded by well-maintained gardens and grounds with an attractive walled front garden (fully enclosed) and lawned gardens to the side and rear.

One or two well-behaved dogs are permitted to stay. Guests should be aware that the front walled garden is enclosed, however the remainder of the extensive grounds are not dog-proof.

At the rear is a terrace with garden table that seats 4 guests, with chairs and sun lounger. At the side is a larger patio with garden table that seats 8 with chairs, sun lounger and a Weber charcoal barbecue overlooking a pretty lawned garden with a variety of shrub and flower beds.

A five barred gate leads to a large grassy paddock which is ideal for children to run around and has magnificent wooden adventure playground. Please note that while guests are welcome to use the equipment provided, this must be at their own risk, and the owner will not accept any liability. In the far corner of the garden is a Firepit, perfect to sit and watch the sun go down in the evening.

It's a short walk to the excellent local pub, The Duck Inn, a children's playground and a traditional village pond to feed the ducks.
