Organiser's checklist
- Confirm real bedroom count, not headline sleeping capacity
- Check the pool is private to your booking, not shared
- Decide early whether meals are eaten in or out - a chef changes the answer
- Agree arrival windows; a caretaker on site makes staggered arrivals easy
- One address for taxis and deliveries saves an enormous amount of messaging
- Book direct so changes go to the people who actually run the house
