Other things to note

Pets
Guests can bring upto two well-behaved dogs, however they must stay downstairs and not be left unattended at the property. When in the garden, please make sure they are on a lead or within the enclosure as there are farm animals in the adjacent fields. Please note, there isn't fencing around the entire site, so children and dogs should be kept in the enclosure when unattended.

The house has wifi accessible throughout the whole house. Speeds usually range between 10-14 mb. There is a 32 inch Toshiba smart tv downstairs and a Panasonic Viera 42 inch tv with Amazon Fire stick upstairs. There is no tv aerial but live tv and catch-up can be accessed through various apps on both televisions. There is a Netflix account on both and freeview apps are set up on each device.
An Amazon Alexa device is in the kitchen, where guests can login with their account details.
Covid 19
We've signed up to the enhanced clean protocol on Airbnb. Hand sanitiser is provided throughout the house.
Sustainability
Here at Highfield House we are very keen to embrace an eco-friendly philosophy.
The property is heated through an air sourced heat pump, which keeps it cosy throughout the Scottish winters. The hot water is also heated using the heat pump, using 100% renewable electricity.
We also have a heat composting bin in the garden for all food waste. This produces compost much quicker than a standard compost bin. You can put any food waste in here and a food caddy is provided in the kitchen.
We're very conscious about re-cycling here. Items to be re-cycled include plastics, cans, tins, paper and cardboard, but not glass. I take glass to the bottle bank after each stay.
We use environmentally friendly products within the house for some of the cleaning and washing activities. Washing up liquid, laundry detergent, fabric softner/conditioner, hand soap and dishwasher tablets are provided for guests.
Buying food and drink products locally is also something that we encourage (plus it’s very tasty!), please speak to your host for recommendations.
