What time can I arrive at the property?
The check in time for Copper Beech is 4pm. Unfortunately, it's not possible for you to arrive earlier than this as we'll be busy getting our Dreamview Shepherds Hut ready for your stay. If it looks like you might arrive in the area earlier than that, we’d suggest stopping off at a local pub for lunch (see Things To Do), or having a browse round one of the nearby towns.
How do I find the property?
You’ll find detailed directions provided in your ‘My Booking’ section on our website. We always recommend using these rather than Sat Nav as Sat Nav can sometimes take you past the turning for Wayside. Be sure to pass these instructions to all members of your group!
How do I access the property on the day of my stay?
You’ll be able to see all your check-in information about 21 days before the start date of your stay. To access this, log into the’ My Booking’ section of our website, using your booking reference number and your email address. You’ll find all the information you need there, including our contact details and instructions regarding the keys.
Can I have a food delivery to the property?
If you need to, you can arrange to have a grocery delivery to Copper Beech for when you arrive or during your stay. Delivery must be made for after the arrival time of 4pm and you must be there to receive your order. Please make sure your name and contact number are on the delivery information. The following shops will deliver to this property: Asda, Waitrose, Sainsburys, Tesco and Dart Fresh.
We are thinking of inviting people over during our stay. Is this allowed?
Unfortunately, we have to say no, as per the Terms and Conditions that should be read when you book your stay. This is due to our insurance/health and safety policies – our Dreamview Shepherds Huts are only big enough for 2 adults and this cannot be exceeded, which is why we ask for details of each person who will be staying at Copper Beech, including their names and ages. If you would like to invite people to stay, you can book our other shepherds huts (see Silver Birch and Sweet Chestnut), subject to availability.
What can we find supplied for us at Copper Beech?
There is enough crockery, cutlery and glasses for 2 adults. You'll find at least 2 toilet rolls, salt and pepper, tea, coffee, sugar, washing-up-liquid, tea towels, dish cloth and scouring sponge, oven gloves, kitchen roll, tin foil, cling film, bin bags, hand soap, luxury toiletries (shower gel, shampoo and conditioner) 1 hairdryer provided.
Bed linen, duvets and pillows, bath robes, slippers, bath towels, hand towels and face cloths are supplied. Note that we don’t supply extra towels for use with the hot tub, so you’ll need to bring these.
Are dogs allowed at this property?
Sorry, pets are not allowed at any of the Dreamview Shepherds Huts.
Are hen parties and stag parties allowed here?
Due to planning restrictions we cannot allow hen or stag parties not matter how small.
Is there a BBQ at the property?
Yes, Copper Beech has its own charcoal firepit with a grill, which can be used year round. Guests at Dreamview Shepherds Huts also have use of a gas bbq (gas supplied) from Easter to the end of October and a year round Nordic style BBQ hut which has a charcoal bbq. Note that charcoal is not supplied but can be purchased on site.
Are the hot tub and sauna private or shared?
Copper Beech has its own private electric hot tub. It is located in the private garden area just outside the hut and has a built-in lounger and captain’s seat, LED lighting and a water fountain. The barrel sauna is screened off by bushes and is for use by all guests at Dreamview Shepherds Huts.
Are logs supplied for the wood-burner?
The first basket of logs is supplied, with more available to purchase on site.
Is there WiFi at the property?
There is 4G at Dreamview Shepherds Huts, but we always make guests aware that because this is a rural location, the speeds may not be as quick as you are used to. It might be an idea for you to download anything that you might need before your stay to avoid disappointment.
