Early check in?
We are working hard to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The time in between guests is critical for us accomplishing this and we therefore are unable to offer early check-in.
Arrival:
When you arrive you will want to go straight at the Y in the driveway and proceed to the guest parking area beside the main building. Follow the path to the main entrance and use your door code to enter the common area. Turn left and then left again to find the Silver Birch Room and use your other door code to enter. During winter months there is optional winter parking at the entrance to the property.
Access:
Your lock code will automatically be sent to you at 7am on the day of your check-in. Please ensure that you have completed the security deposit process (link sent in a previous email). Doing so activates the system to send the door codes.
