HEALTH AND SAFETY
The bedroom is upstairs on a mezzanine floor with a double and single bed. The stairs to the bedroom are quite steep. There is a handrail on the stairs, but our bach may not suit elderly or people with mobility difficulties.

A small stream runs through the property, with a few fish in it. Please keep an eye on small children and NO fishing please!
