FAQ

Questions, answered — or simply ask

The things guests ask us most, and a concierge who will answer anything else.

House concierge

Ask anything about stays, houses and services. For dates and rates, the house desk replies personally.

How does booking a house work?

Send an enquiry with your dates and a few words about the week. A member of the house replies within one working day with two or three houses that fit — never a catalogue.

Is there a minimum stay?

Most houses are offered by the week in high season. Shorter stays are often possible outside peak dates; we will tell you honestly what each house allows.

What is included in a stay?

Every stay includes a dedicated house manager and our concierge service. Chefs, transfers, therapists, skippers and guides are arranged on request and billed separately.

How and when do I pay?

A deposit confirms the booking and the balance is due before arrival. Terms are always confirmed in writing for the specific house before any payment is made.

Can I travel with children or pets?

Many of our houses welcome both. Tell us at the enquiry stage and we will only propose homes that suit.

I own a house — can I list it with you?

Yes. Submit it through the List Your Property page. We take on a limited number of homes each year and visit every one before it joins the collection.
