Bring your own bikes
You are more than welcome to bring your own bikes, which you can store in the garden of your cottage. Unfortunately we do not have any secure bike storage (yet!). We do not allow bikes to be stored inside our cottages.
Location
Our address is:
High Forest Cottages
Forest Road
Redlynch, SP5 2PU
We are located on a B-road (B3080), which is mainly used for local and commuter traffic. It is a 40mph road and care must be taken when crossing this to access the open Forest. Our property has cattle grids on the driveways to stop the ponies, cattle, donkeys and deer from entering into the garden. Next to one of the cattle grids is a small gate to make access on foot easier. Please make sure the gate is shut!
At the rear of our property we have a paddock, which is not accessible to our guests, and beyond that is private land.
Check in and check out times
Providing clean accommodation is of utmost importance to us and our cleaning team is brilliant. However it does mean that we require enough time for them to carry out a full clean between guests leaving and the arrival of new guests.
Our check in time is from 4pm and check out is before 10am. When we are able to provide flexibility on these times we will let you know. Unfortunately we do not have the capacity to store luggage.
EV Charging
We currently do not have the appropriate connections to allow EV charging. It is strictly forbidden to use a standard 13amp socket, inside or outside the cottage to charge your car.
