Arrival Day Suggestions
Check In Time - 4pm
We know that a holiday starts from the moment you leave your house! We do try really hard to get our guests in before our official 4pm check in time. However we're not able to confirm any earlier check ins until the day, as we have a list as long as our arm of cleaning procedures (good for you - less so for us!)..., and depending on how we 'find' the retreats, is dependent on how quickly we can turn them around :)
SO . . .
We've put together a list of suggested things to do if you intend to arrive before 4pm. These suggestion are day dependent as to what's open so please remember to double check opening days and times.
