On departure, we request that you fill and set off the dishwasher, empty the fridge and freezer of all food items, take all your rubbish to one of our bin compounds (these are marked on our Welcome Map) and if you have any pets staying with you, do ensure that you have picked up after them. Please leave any robes and towels behind to avoid unnecessary charges. You are however welcome to take the flip flops home with you.

Smoking is not allowed in any of our lodges or tents. We accept no liability for personal belongings, these are your responsibility during your stay with us. Items that are left behind and subsequently found, will be kept for a maximum of 14 days (dependant on item) after which they will be disposed of or donated to a local charitable organisation.

Please note: Guests staying in our Glamping Safari Tents & Big Beast Tents do need to arrive prepared during the colder months. Although we provide log burners, oil filled radiators, and camping blankets, we ask guests to bear in mind the outside ambient temperature for the time of year, and bring suitable clothing for such conditions.

In our luxury English Villas, the swimming pool canopies are carefully managed throughout the year to ensure your comfort.

During this time, the covers are stored securely and locked into position at the end of the swimming pools.

The canopies will only be adjusted during the year in special circumstances, such as severe weather conditions.
