The cottage shares only the driveway entrance ... everything else is completely separated. I do not allow unregistered overnight guests. Unfortunately, many guests who book this property make the decision to invite several extra people to stay once they arrive and realize how much space is available. Please note that there is a penalty of US$75 per person per night for guests who violate this policy. Please declare all of the guests in your party at the time of booking. If your guest count changes, you can make that change on the airbnb platform very easily up until you actually check in. If there are any questions about this policy, please reach out to me for clarification. This property sits on a large estate and can accommodate several people comfortably. However, it is my family home and not a hotel/motel. It means that I do not allow events/parties/gatherings/group dinners of any kind. If there is any doubt about what constitutes an event or party, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sadly, I’ve experienced an increased number of cases of unscrupulous inquiries for booking. I suppose it’s just a sign of the times. I will only confirm bookings if your identity is verified with airbnb. Once you have booked, I will ask you to send an image of each of your guests passport ID pages via the airbnb platform, at least 5 days prior to check in. If you are unwilling or unable to satisfy this request, I can request that airbnb refund your booking fees in accordance with the airbnb cancellation policies so that you're not out of pocket.
