Other things to note

Its not the best place for children. There are two sets of stairs, no stairgates, cupboards don't have locks, no high chairs etc. But we are happy for people who have children to stay - as long as they are OK with the above. We take no responsibility for any accidents which might occur on the mutual understanding of this.
