​

Noise and Behaviour

​​​

• We reserve the right of admission. We only accept responsible campers that are considerate to fellow campers/guests and are respectful of the environment.

• Please respect your fellow campers and keep noise to a minimum throughout your stay, and particularly from 22:00 and quiet from 23:00-08:00.  Music players/radios must be kept to a reasonable volume and then switched off by 22:00.  Please be considerate when making noise around the campsite past these hours, in particular areas which border neighbours’ property.

• If you have exclusive hire of the campsite, music and noise must still be kept at a reasonable volume throughout your stay in respect of our lovely neighbours and quite rural site.  Management reserve the right to ask you to turn music down or off at any time.

​

Cleaning

​

• Please remember that the showers, toilets, kitchen, main decking, and grounds are shared spaces. Please clean up after use and try to accommodate other guests. We will, clean the showers and toilets daily and take the recycling and bins away.

• Leave your accommodation as you found it, i.e.: no litter or damage. To avoid excess cleaning fees, please make sure you take rubbish to the bin area (rubbish left in the wicker bins is acceptable) and clean any cooking equipment such as BBQ tongs. Excess cleaning fees will be charged at £25 per hour.

• You must take large items of rubbish away with you i.e., cardboard, any home brought camping equipment etc. Only general food waste and packaging is to be disposed of in our bins.

• Please do not use glitter in or around the site.  It can be a nightmare to hoover up!

​

General Safety

​

• Please do not lean or swing on the ropes outside the yurt or leave children unattended in these areas.

• Guests are asked not to stand or jump on the beds.

• Please ask all members of your party to keep to the paths including in the camping field.  We want to maintain the long grass in this area.  Suitable footwear should be worn around the site as there may be uneven ground, or sharp objects. 

• Whilst on Our land, you and any members of your party must not enter any buildings apart from the toilets/shower blocks and kitchen, or climb over any dry-stone walls, fences or barriers.

• We keep bees, persons with bee allergies should be made aware of this and bring appropriate medicines/protections. 

​

Breakages/damage 

​

• This is always a tricky one – accidental damage happens and so far, we have never charged for small breakages. However, we do reserve the right to do so and would ask that you let us know if an item has been broken. Before your stay commences, you will be required to pay a security deposit from which we have the right to claim for damages and excess cleaning (above and beyond our normal change over cleaning).  The deposit will be reserved against the stored card before arrival. We recommend using a credit card if possible.  This will be authorised on the day of check-in for the duration of the guest stay.  We reserve the right to claim further compensation if the total cost of damage exceeds the amount in the security deposit.  By making this booking you agree to pay any costs and fees incurred.

• For exclusive group bookings, one security deposit will be required to cover the whole site.  That person will be liable for any damage during the group.

• Guests are responsible for the protection and safety of their personal property and the owners of Walkers Cottage shall not be responsible or liable for any damage or loss of property in the grounds or any part of the premises at any time.
