Outdoors & GardenHopefully these guides will give you a clear idea of anything you’re unsure of, if anything is not obvious or quick to find in this guide please do get in contact with us via the airbnb app or by texting/phoning my number (found in the welcome book)
Outdoor Furniture (Summer months)
At highwinds we have seating on the decking by the TV room, a sunlounger and a picnic table on the front garden with Ben Nevis views.
If you are using the decking seating please place the cover back ontop of it at night / before you checkout incase there is any rain showers, and to protect the furniture from birds.
The sunlounger cushions are on top of the ping pong table by the log shed. Please put this back in the log shed to protect it from the elements when you’re done with it.
There is an umbrella for the picnic table by the ping pong table in the log shed. Please put this back in the log shed to protect it from the elements when you’re done with it.

Slippery Surfaces (Autumn and Winter)
During the wet and wintery conditions the decking and steps to the doors can become very slippery. Please do take extreme care in these conditions. Feel free to use salt on the backdoor steps to increase the grip when using the steps.
Midges (Summer months)
In the summer months during dawn and dusk there may be a lot of midges (no-see-ums) out and about especially if we’ve had some damp weather. If you do notice them please keep the doors and windows shut to keep them from coming in the house, this is a recommendation not a rule.
Bike Storage
If you are bringing bikes please let us know as we can provide locks and some equipment if told. In the fully enclosed back garden there is a place to lock and store your bikes on the wall of the garage next to the woodstore. For additional peace of mind we have a camera pointed at where any gear will be stored.
Back Garden
The back garden is fully enclosed so it is safe to let your dog out and have a sniff around. Please check and pick up any mess your dogs make and dispose of them. Please don’t let your dog go in and out of the patio doors in the Cinema room in bad weather, instead use the back door as the utility room is better set up to deal with a wet dog!
Feel free to take logs from the wood store but please be reasonable about how many logs you are using, bonus points for replacing any logs you use but this is not a requirement!.

Front Garden
There’s a few bird feeders in the front garden, I will endeavour to keep these filled up but feel free to fill them up too if they’re running a bit low! We do get quite a lot of birds visiting our garden, mostly sparrows!
Front and Back Fields
Depending on the time of year there may be a number of animals in the front and back fields. Please do not feed any of the animals in the fields as some of them are on strict diets and you may make them unwell.
Garage
The garage is a private place for us to store things and off limits to guests. If you’re bringing lots of gear and expensive equipment with you for any events around the area please get incontact with us before your stay and we will try and work something out.
