Yes, there is mobile phone reception at Lochview.

Devices can be charged in the tent. There is no WiFi.

There is a heat pump inside the tent to keep you warm and cosy.

An outdoor brazier is also provided.

There’s a designated outdoor area with a brazier. Great for the evenings to keep you toasty!

The hot tub is filled with fresh water prior to your arrival. It's wood-fired, so you'll need to light this when you arrive and stoke it for at least a couple of hours while it heats through. It takes a little bit of skill with lighting fires and patience.

If you ordered the hot tub lighting service when you booked online, the tub will be alight and heating when you arrive, but it does take a while to get to fully hot and ready to soak in. It's important to note that this will not be hot and ready to jump into immediately on arrival and it may be later in the evening before you get to hop in.

The good news is that the hot tub does hold the heat well and it will only take a little bit of heating from time to time during the remainder of your stay.

Lochview is open for stays during winter, but bear in mind that you're booking a glamping escape - without the usual luxuries of a fully powered home. Glamping is still a form of camping!

The tent has warm bedding and a heat pump, plus lots of other elements to make your stay cosy and atmospheric. If you book a stay in winter, bring your sense of adventure.

For health and safety reasons, children over the age of 5 years are welcome at Lochview.

The one exception to this rule is for non-mobile babies under 6 months with BYO bedding and portacot. If you are bringing your non-mobile baby, you'll need to mention this in the comments box when you book.

Lochview has a 'no dog' policy (with no exceptions).

If you're looking for dog-friendly glamping, check out some of our other Canopy Camping Escapes sites that welcome dogs - you can select the 'dog-friendly' filter in the search bar to easily find them.

The host’s family home is located 50 meters away but is well out of sight behind trees and bush - so you'll have complete privacy.

A road is located over 1km away but some faint road noise may be heard at peak hours.

You can drive right up to and park your vehicle outside the accommodation.

You're welcome to come and go from the property as often as you please.

• Food and drink - make sure you bring all the food and drink you need for your stay
• Toiletries
• Insect repellent and sunscreen
• Warm clothing for cooler evenings

Wood-fired Hot Tub Lighting Service - $40

The wood-fired hot tub is free to use, however, some people do find it tricky to light and get going. Also, it takes at least a few hours to heat up the first time. If you're uncertain, we highly recommend selecting this service during the booking process. Your hot tub will be lit and heated up when you arrive. Note that you'll need to keep feeding the fire after you get there for it to be nice and hot for an evening soak.

The wood-fired hot tub is free to use, however some people do find it tricky to light and get going. Select this service if you would like your host to start it up for you before your arrival so that it heats up by evening. Note that you will have to feed the fire once you arrive so it continues to heat the hot tub to the desired temperature.

That means that you are making an agreement with the Host for the use of its property. Anything Canopy Camping Escapes does (including enforcing any of the Host’s rights), it does so as agent for the Host and is not a party to your agreement with the Host. **1.4** In these terms: - “Day” means a period of 24 hours; and - “check-in time” means the check-in time specified [in the booking confirmation email we send you / specified on the Website for the property you have booked]

**2.1** If you book within 28 Days of your check-in time, full payment via credit or debit card (VISA/Mastercard) is required at the time of booking. If you book more than 28 Days prior to your check-in time, a deposit of 10% is required to confirm your booking and secure the property. This will be charged to your credit or debit card (VISA/Mastercard) at the time of booking. A credit or debit card (VISA/Mastercard) payment surcharge of up to 2.1% will be applied to all credit or debit card (VISA/Mastercard) payments. **2.2** Bookings are considered confirmed once you have made your online booking and payment and we have sent an email to the address provided to us which confirms both the payment and your booking details. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please contact us as soon as possible. However, we (as agent for the Host) reserve the right to cancel any booking within 12 Days of the confirmation email where we discover that you, or any of your guests, has previously breached these Booking Conditions in relation to a previous booking.

An email reminder will be sent to you at this time requesting payment for the outstanding balance. The reminder email gives you the option to pay the remaining balance by A2A (Internet Banking) or credit or debit card (VISA/Mastercard). If your payment has not been received within 24 hours, the remaining balance will automatically be charged to the credit or debit card (VISA/Mastercard) used at the time of booking.

(b) Unexpected damage or destruction at the property. (c) A death in the Host family. (d) Our relationship with the Host ends for any other reason.
