Departure time is 10am. If there are guests coming in the same day it is important that you depart on time as it takes us the whole day to prepare the Farmhouse. A later departure can be pre-arranged with Nicola if no one is coming into the property and there is no maintenance to be done ie painting etc

There is an extra charge for removal of glass and rubbish left outside the bins or in The Farmhouse.

The Security deposit will be returned after property is cleaned and inspected and in full if there is no damage to the property or extra rubbish removal.
Q. What happens if I experience an issue during my stay?
We of course hope your stay is an enjoyable one. However if any issues arise or you have cause for complaint, please advise us immediately. We have a maintenance team and a list of contractors who are on call to resolve any issues as soon as we are made aware of them. Regrettably it is unlikely that complaints can be investigated and therefore accepted once you have departed, we hope you understand.
Q. Do you have any ‘house rules’ we should know of?!
Yes we do – they are also left in a folder on the coffee table in The Farmhouse and we have some notices on the wall. So that future guests can enjoy it too, we ask that you kindly refer to the information folder and notices while you are staying. We really appreciate your compliance!
We hope that you enjoy your stay with Carmichael Farmhouse and that you find the property as you would expect.
