We request that you agree on the time of arrival, in accordance with the proposed timetable, no later than 24 hours before your arrival (by mail or phone only). If you arrive later or are held up at the last minute, please inform us.

Check-in is between 15:00 and 18:45. You are kindly requested not to arrive late. Should you arrive after 22:00, we have the right to refuse you access due to disturbance to other guests.

It is strictly forbidden to camp or light fires on the property. We also ask you to respect the roads. Cars are not allowed on the property, you can park your car in the car park at the entrance.

Because of our back to basics concept, our accommodations have a limited power supply.  Therefore, it is forbidden to bring and use electrical appliances (airfryers, fryers, microwave ovens, stone grill,...) that are not specific to the accommodation (except cell phones, tablets, etc). 

We ask you to strictly follow all safety instructions during your stay.

On the day of your departure, the cabin must be vacated by 10:30 am. We request that you leave the cabin as tidy as possible and return the equipment entrusted to you at reception. If check-out is later than 10:30, we reserve the right to charge you an extra €60.

We do ask you to leave your cabin/house in the same condition as you received it and according to the guidelines mentioned in the welcome booklet. Should this not be respected, we reserve the right to withhold the deposit. 

Guests choose to stay at Warredal with an eye on peace and slowliving. For this reason, noise pollution after 22:00 is not acceptable. In case of complaints from other guests, we are therefore forced to withhold the deposit.
