Smoking
Smoking inside or in-front of the house is strictly forbidden.
Smoking in the back garden is fine. Just close the garden door, use the ashtray and keep the volume down so as not to disturb the neighbours.
Parking
Inside the compound, you can only park in our dedicated space which extends from the outer edge of our garage to the outer edge of our porch. Elsewhere, parking rules are enforced through wheel-clamping & penalties. So do not park in-front of other houses or yellow lines.
You can also park on the main road outside the compound subject to the restrictions explained on the nearby signs.

If you want to check out later, request it ASAP and I'll tell you if it's possible. Unauthorised late check-out is billed at £50 per hour.
