Important and general to both apartments

There are sloping ceilings and exposed beams throughout both apartments. In the bedrooms they are pronounced. All pillows are non feather but all the duvets contain feathers/down with the exception of the single in Little Hanger which does not. The garden is set on the side of Porlock Hill and is therefore very steep in places. The area around the house is flat and fairly even under foot. Elsewhere it is natural wood land with uneven, narrow paths and exposed tree roots to catch the feet of the unwary. Care should be taken. Having said that it is a wonderful place for children to explore and exercise their imagination. The tennis court has an all weather hard surface and is set into the hillside. The overhanging trees cause moss to grow and although this is treated on a regular basis please be aware that the surface can become slippery.
