3. Booking and payment

4. Cancellations and refunds
Cancel more than 7 days before arrival for a full refund, minus a £25 admin fee. We can't refund cancellations within 7 days of arrival. Plans change, so we'd strongly recommend travel insurance to cover you for anything you can't see coming.
5. Changes to your booking
If we need to change it. Very occasionally we might have to move a booking. If that happens we'll offer you other dates or another cabin, and if neither works we'll refund you in full. The same goes for the rare double booking.
If you need to change it. Get in touch as early as you can and we'll do what we can, subject to availability.

7. Who can stay
- Each cabin sleeps two adults.
- Children aren't permitted.
- Extra guests beyond the number confirmed on your booking aren't allowed on site and may mean we end your stay without a refund.
8. Dogs
We love dogs. You're welcome to bring one well-behaved dog with you. Please pay the pet fee when you book, keep your dog under control at all times, use the stake and lead provided at every cabin, clean up after them, keep them off the furniture and the bed, and take responsibility for any damage they cause.
9. Looking after the cabin
Please treat it as you'd want to find it. You're responsible for any damage during your stay. If something breaks or goes wrong, tell us straight away and we'll sort it out together. We may need to charge for damage, excessive mess or missing items. We can't accept liability for personal injury, or for loss of or damage to your belongings.
10. Being a good neighbour
Our cabins sit in quiet places and we'd like to keep them that way. Please be kind to neighbours and other guests, keep noise down between 10pm and 8am, follow the Countryside Code, take your rubbish with you, go gently with the wildlife and plants, and no parties, loud music or antisocial behaviour. We reserve the right to ask guests to leave without a refund if behaviour is disturbing other people or damaging the site.
11. Safety
Please follow the safety guidance we give you, particularly around the wood burner, BBQs and firepits. Drive carefully on farm tracks and keep an eye out for livestock. You're in the countryside, so there's uneven ground, open water and wildlife about. Everything at the cabin is there for you to use at your own risk.
12. Club membership
When you book, you automatically become a member of the Off-Grid Nature Club. The club holds an exemption certificate from Natural England, which lets its members stay at the sites it certifies.

We share your booking and personal details with the club, as set out in our Privacy Policy.
13. Marketing
You'll only get marketing emails from us if you've opted in, and you can unsubscribe at any time. The club may contact you about your membership and site access separately.
14. Things outside anybody's control
Sometimes things happen that none of us can do anything about, like extreme weather, natural disasters or government restrictions. If we can't fulfil your booking because of something like that, we're not liable. Travel and cancellation insurance is the sensible protection here.
