No smoking / vaping - inside glamping tents or covered communal areas. Please dispose of cigarettes responsibly in the bins provided.
Prickly things - The site was a working farm so there's still barbed wire fencing in some areas, as well as thorny hedgerows, brambles and nettles etc. We work hard to keep this to a minimum, but please be careful!
Water & wastewater - All taps are drinking water. It is a private spring water supply, please be mindful of water usage and don’t leave taps running! Drainage is to a private sewage treatment facility, this is biological process and can be easily upset by harsh chemicals or non-degradable material (e.g. antibacterial wipes, baby wipes, sanitary towels), so please don’t flush anything like that down the toilets.
Recycling - Top of the Woods is a sustainable site, having won several awards for our eco efforts! Recycling facilities are provided throughout the site and on the glamping pitches, for your convenience, your camp host will explain everything on check in
