Terrific host could not be more helpful, and kindly erected a temporary fence for my dogs. Everything was as described and a pleasant little hideaway in a great area.
However I am sorry to say I wasn't able to have a hot morning shower for 2 days, it was luke-warm at best as it appeared the hot water system was shared with the permanent tenant above the guest house as part of the same residence.
I thought continuous hot water systems were standard but if not that would be my tip for an otherwise entirely terrific little full residence with a wonderful back reserve shared with neighbouring properties.
