IS IT SAFE?
We have worked with multiple engineers to ensure the treehouses are safe, but In the rare case of extreme weather, the safety of our guests becomes the first priority, and therefore cancellations by the host may take place with short notice.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT SNOWS?
Snow adds an extra beauty to the surroundings but of course makes the walk to woodnest a little more challenging. In the winter seasons we do not recommend travelling with small children or the elderly. In the cases of extreme weather, heavy snow and ice, we may need to cancel your booking to maintain safety for our guests. A full refund will be given in this instance.
CAN WE COME AND LOOK AT WOODNEST?
One of the things that encourages our guests to stay at Woodnest is the fact that they have privacy, we would love to keep it that way. The property on which Woodnest is built is private. So we ask that you please follow the signs by holding distance from the treehouse and refrain from taking photos of the treehouses whilst we have guests there.
