Note, this doesn’t allow to add a loft area, so the seventh bedroom isn’t a full bedroom but a loft in the guest cottage. Also in the main house, the fourth bedroom with a bunk bed and a trundle has a dedicated staircase to a little common area with a closet and a full bathroom but no door on the actual bedroom. But the dedicated staircase provides privacy. Please contact the host if this isn’t clear.
