Your booking confirmation
We’ll confirm your booking (and any upgrades or changes) straight away, using the email address you gave us. If you don’t get this email, we may not have received your booking. Please check your junk-mail folder – if it’s in there, add us to your contacts to make sure you don’t miss any later updates. If you still can’t find it, phone us – as soon as possible to increase the chances we can still offer you the dates/options you want.

Cancelling or rescheduling
We know that plans can change, so if you’ve booked our flexible rate, we’ll do everything we can to accommodate changes to your stay.

If you have booked the non- refundable internet special rate, or Single Night rate 

We strongly recommend travel insurance to cover any changes in circumstances for all types of stay. 

Checking in and out
Check-in time for all our Hideaways is 4pm.

Check-out time for all Hideaways is 11am. 

Early check-in and late check-out
We can offer an early check in of 2.30pm or late check of 12.30pm. The fee for each of these is £50 and can be added to your stay via our extras page.

Please note that due to the size of our business, we operate this upgrade on a first-come-first-serve basis. We cannot give all our guests an early check in or late check out and we will inform you immediatley if we are unable to honor this and issue you a full refund of the early/late fee.  

We need advance notice of early check ins and late check outs, these cannot be guaranteed if purchased on the day of arrival/departure

After-hours arrivals
You Hideaway will be left open for you until 9pm. If you plan to arrive later than this, let us know so we can arrange for someone to let you in.

Children
A Hideaway Experience is designed as an adults-only event – the accommodation isn’t suitable for children. All guests must be over 18 (with the exception of babies up to 6 months).

Smoking
The Hideaways aren’t suitable for smokers at all. 

We don’t allow smoking inside or outside the properties – if we see, or find evidence of you smoking during your stay, we’ll ask you to leave immediately with no refund. We’ll also charge you £100 for your Hideaway to be professionally deep-cleaned before our next guests arrive.

Pets
Two of our Hideaways are pet-free, but if you’re staying in The Romantics ,The Dreamers or The Stargazers you can bring up to two well-behaved dogs or cats. To add your pets to your booking select ‘bring my pet’ as an extra when you book – a small charge applies.

Not all our guests are animal lovers, so please be considerate inside the Hideaway. Keep pet(s) off the furniture – including the sofa and bed and put their waste straight in the outside bin. You’re welcome to walk your dogs around the farm as long as you keep them on a lead. However, they’re free to run off the lead in the community woodland next door.

Questions and requests while you’re here
If there’s anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable, don’t wait until after you leave to let us know – tell us right away so we can do what we can to help.

Complaints
If you’re unhappy with something during your stay and want to make a complaint, please talk to us during your stay. You can visit Caroline and Ross at the farmhouse or phone us on 01382 320 707 or 07584 660 541. Please tell us immediately if anything is not right, ask us to come to the Hideaway. 

We treat all complaints seriously and will do everything we can to resolve your issue as soon as possible so you can get on with enjoying the rest of your Experience.

We don’t provide refunds or compensation for complaints made after guests have returned home, so be sure to speak to us or email us during your stay. 

The condition of your Hideaway
Please leave your Hideaway clean, tidy, and in the same general condition it was in when you arrived. Each Hideaway is thoroughly cleaned between bookings – if a deep-clean is necessary after your stay, we may pass the £100 charge for this on to you. If this applies, we’ll send you an invoice within 48 hours.

Damage and repairs
If something in your Hideaway gets broken or damaged while you’re here, please tell us straight away. You can phone us on 01382 320 707 or 07584 660 541. We treat each incident case by case, but may charge a £100 'damage charge’ for one-off breakages, or more for substantial damage or valuable item(s). All items in the Hideaway have been itemised and valued – if you’d like to see this inventory, please ask.

If you don’t tell us about damage and we find it after you’ve left, we’ll invoice you for repairs within 48 hours.

Inventory
We keep an inventory of everything in each Hideaway, and refer to it before and after every couple’s stay. If you remove something from your Hideaway (on purpose or by accident), we may invoice you for its replacement.

Visitors
The Hideaway Experience is about peace, quiet and some well-deserved one-on-one time. To keep it this way for you and any guests staying nearby, we don’t allow visitors during your stay.   If we see any visitors at your Hideaway we will ask them to leave. If they still don't leave, we reserve the right to ask you all to leave. This is following a small number of incidents where guests had visitors who had a party and caused damage. We will not tolerate this at all.

Massage treatments – booking
Massages are one of our most popular extras. To make sure you get the VIP treatment you deserve, book at least seven working days before you arrive.

We’ll do our best to meet your request but from time-to-time a masseuse may not be available. If this happens, we’ll let you know straight away and refund the full cost of your treatment.

Massage treatments aren’t suitable for people with certain medical conditions. By booking a massage, you agree that the treatment you’ve chosen is appropriate.

Common conditions that can affect massage treatments include:

This isn’t a complete list and we are not medical experts. We strongly advise that you check with your doctor and then let us know about any medical conditions before you book so we can check with your masseuse that it’s safe to go ahead. We can often offer an alternative if the treatment you want isn’t suitable.

Massage treatments – cancellations and refunds
If you need to cancel your massage, please let us know least 5 days before your treatment – otherwise it’s too late to reschedule the masseuse and you’ll have to pay the full price. This applies even if you have a medical reason for cancelling.

If you’re not in or don’t answer the door when your masseuse arrives, you’ll still be charged for your treatment(s).

In the unlikely event that we need to cancel your appointment, we’ll refund the cost in full.

Responsibility
The freedom to do whatever you please is a big part of the Hideaway Experience. But we can’t accept any responsibility for any accidents, injuries, illness, loss or damage suffered during your stay – either in the Hideaway or around the farm. 

Subletting
We don’t allow subletting. Only the people named on your booking are permitted to stay in your Hideaway.

Unforeseen circumstances
Occasionally, events outside our control can affect our guests’ bookings. If we’re unable to provide accommodation ourselves, we’ll do our best to arrange an alternative through another holiday provider – but sadly we can’t guarantee this. If we’re unable honour your booking, we’ll refund your payment in full.

Guest no-show
If you can no longer arrive on the first day of your booking, let us know. If you haven’t arrived by midday on the second day of your stay and we haven’t heard from you, we’ll cancel your booking and may re-let your Hideaway.

Inappropriate conduct
Anyone who is aggressive, abusive or otherwise inappropriate to staff or management at the Hideaway Experience will be asked to leave immediately. Your booking will be cancelled without a refund, and you’ll be banned from returning.

Hot Tubs

The hot tub is one of the highlights of our guests’ stay at the Hideaways but there are very important health and safety aspects to its use which you should heed for your own wellbeing.
Guests use the hot tub at their own risk.

Please adhere to the following health & Safety rules:

1. Please take a shower prior to entering the hot tub.
2. Do not enter the hot tub if you have the following on your body –cosmetics, fake tan, body lotion, body oil or any other substance that might wash off in the hot tub water Please note such substances can react with your hot tub water causing it to discolour, froth, create an odour, turn the water oily, clog the filter and stain the hot tub.
3. Please shower again after using the hot tub, if you do not shower your skin can become irritated.
4. Take care not to slip when entering or exiting the hot tub as the deck area may be wet – enter and exit the hot tub slowly.
5. Do not put your head under the water at anytime.
6. Do not use the hot tub for more than 15 minutes per hour and ensure you have ‘time out’ to cool off in between using the tub.
7. Do not use the hot tub if you are pregnant or could be pregnant.
8. Consult your doctor prior to use if you have any recognised medical conditions including heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood pressure or if you are elderly.
9. DO NOT USE GLASS IN OUR NEAR THE HOT TUB, this includes bottles – only use the plastic glasses provided in the kitchen cupboard. This is very important as any broken glass on the deck or in the hot tub can hurt both our staff, future guests and yourselves.
10. Replace the cover while you are not using the hot tub- this is really important to both keep the heat in and also to protect the water against air borne bacteria.
11. Please flip back the lid, on the stand, - the tub lid sits behind the hot tub upright. Do not remove the whole lid and put it on the deck.
12. Do not switch the hot tub off at the mains. It stays on. Only In EMERGENCY should you switch it off at the mains. The mains switch is the Big Yellow and Red switch near your tub. (or left hand grey fuse switch if staying in the Lovers)
13. The Hideaways operate a strictly non-smoking policy (both inside and outside the building) and therefore smoking is not allowed near to or in the hot tub. Eating is not permitted in the hot tub.

General
Our terms and conditions exist to keep our staff and customers safe, and help us deliver high quality experiences time after time. If you break the terms of your stay, we reserve the right to ask you to leave without a refund.
