Each of our cottages has at least one smart TV, all of the kitchen utensils that are needed for everyday use, appliances for cooking, a washer/dryer and a dishwasher. A small 'starter pack' is also provided. This includes some UHT milk a few tea bags, olive oil, salt & pepper, 2x washing tablets, 2x dishwasher tablets, a roll of foil, tea towels as well as some dishcloths and scourers. There is also a toilet roll per bathroom to get you started. We no longer leave a 'welcome hamper' as we noticed a lot of wastage and problems related to allergies.

Some of the bedrooms in Woodfield Farm, Somerwood, Duddle Cottage and Whitewell Cottage have zip-link beds that can be configured as twin or super-king size. Please let us know your desired configuration at least 7 days prior to check-in.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused but we do not allow pets in our holiday cottages.

In order to reduce wastage and to organise the schedule of our maintenance team, we ask that you request the use of your hot tub at least 7 days prior to arrival. (If this has not already been requested at point of booking.) Please check you booking summary if you are unsure.

If you book online, the good housekeeping bond can be paid during the booking process or with the final payment. You can also pay by bank transfer. If you choose to pay by bank transfer, the amount must reach our account 7 days prior to check-in (taking into account bank clearance delays).

If you made payment with your booking online, it will be refunded back onto the card you paid with (providing it is still in date). If you paid the good housekeeping deposit via a bank transfer, we ask that you email us your bank account details, including name, account number and sort code, so that we may return your deposit accordingly.

We aim to return all bonds within 7 - 10 working days of your check-out date. This is to allow time for us to note any damages and taking into account bank clearance delays.

Check in is at 4pm (unless you're staying at Woodfield Farm when check-in is from 3pm.) Check-out is at 10am. We ask that you ensure you have vacated the holiday cottage and removed all of your belongings by 10am so that we have sufficient time to prepare for the next guests. Early check-in and check-outs may be available at an added cost, please get in touch to make arrangements.

We leave all keys in a lock box outside of each cottage. You will be sent the code for your lock box approximately an hour before your arrival. This is usually sent to the lead booker's email address. It can be sent via text if emails are not accessible on your device.

Music can be played outside of cottages, so long as neighbours are considered. We are based in a rural location and sound can travel long distances. Noise outdoors is not permitted after 11pm, and down to a minimum indoors.

We ask that you leave the cottage in the same state as you found it. We provide a dustpan and brush, broom, vacuum, mop and bucket, dishclothes and an all-purpose spray. We do not expect a full, deep clean but we would like to see that the cottage has been looked after during your stay. Please remember to empty all bins, close the windows and turn off/down the heating.

We are happy to return your item. We will get you a price for postage. We do charge a £5 admin fee for sending back your item. Once we have received the full amount, we will post your item back. Or even better, if you would like to collect your item we are in the office Monday - Friday 8am - 4pm.
