Arncliffe Frequently Asked Questions
- How many people does the property sleep? Up to 16. It is recommended that guests are restricted to 14, as otherwise 2 are sleeping on a bed settee in the living room, which ideally is kept free.
- Can more than 16 go if I’m happy to squash or put a tent in the garden? No, 16 is the maximum number having regard to safety, insurance and facilities.
- Can I stay 2 nights? Short breaks of 3 nights (weekend) or 4 nights (midweek) are available for most of the year, but weekends run from 4pm Friday to 10 a.m. Monday (3 nights).
