Other things to note:
We have recommended no kids under 12 primarily because our place has a spa and pool which are located in a separate enclosed room. We don't have high chairs, gates for the staircase, protection against sticking metal objects in electrical sockets etc. It is a large property with a second story balcony. If you need a place specifically for kids, then High Grange is probably not for you. If the adults deserve a break too and you are willing to supervise your kids closely, then we are happy to host you.

We believe you will love the bar. Of course bring your own alcohol.

Please take note of the following important information regarding the heating options for the pool and spa:

Pool heating: To achieve a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, the pool requires approximately 12 hours of heating, typically done overnight. Detailed instructions for pool heating will be provided to assist you. We also have a QR code for a Youtube video if you prefer that.

Spa heating: The spa can reach a relaxing temperature of 38 degrees Celsius in approximately 3 hours. Instructions for spa heating will also be provided to guide you through the process. We also have a QR code for a Youtube video if you prefer that.

Important Note: It is crucial to remember that pool and spa heating cannot be activated simultaneously to achieve the desired temperature. When set to spa heating mode, the heating system will exclusively focus on warming the spa, while setting it to pool heating mode will prioritize heating the pool only. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in managing the heating preferences for the pool and spa.

Additionally, we have discovered that indulging in a rejuvenating hot spa followed by a refreshing dip in our comfortably tepid pool offers an exquisite and invigorating relaxation experience.
