There are separate entrances, and the only connecting door may be kept locked.

1) A living/dining room, with kitchen area, which includes a table, dining chairs and a sitting area with a double sofa-bed. The kitchen areas has a cooker, a refrigerator, a sink with hot and cold water and plenty of cooking and eating utensils.

There are a some guide books, brochures about places to visit, past visitors' recommendations, maps, a few games, a range of books for all ages to read and a radio/cd/cassette player.
The extensive garden has lawns, patios, shaded and covered areas (including pergolas) so that visitors can always find a relatively private spot to sit, sunbathe or eat. There are several outdoor tables, chairs and sun-loungers and two bbqs. As well as shrubs and flowering plants there are herbs for cooking. From the garden, much of which is not directly overlooked by any other houses, there is a superb view up into the mountains. In addition to the garden, there is so much open land nearby that it is always easy to find a quiet, private outdoor spot.
