House rules
Ten short rules keep both our hotels quiet, safe and friendly: for you, for the family in the next room, for our staff and for the village around us. Every adult guest reads and accepts them at online check-in, before arrival.
Quiet hours, 10 PM to 7 AM
Between 10 PM and 7 AM, keep noise inside your room. No music, speakers, amplified sound or gatherings that can be heard outside your room. Amplified music is not allowed in common areas, on the lawns or on balconies at any time. This follows the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000 and local directions.
Registered guests and visitors
Only guests registered at check-in may stay overnight. Visitors sign in at the front desk with a government photo ID, stay with you while they are on the property, and leave by 10 PM.
Photo ID for every adult
Every adult guest provides a valid government photo ID and shows the original at the desk. We accept a passport, driving licence, voter ID, or Aadhaar in masked form (first eight digits hidden). Foreign nationals provide their passport and visa.
Zero tolerance for drugs
Possession or use of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances anywhere on the property ends your stay immediately and is reported to the police.
Smoking and alcohol
No smoking inside our buildings, including rooms and bathrooms; please use the designated outdoor area. Alcohol only in your room or in areas we designate. Drunk or disorderly behaviour in common areas is not allowed.
Respect for people
Abusive, threatening, discriminatory or violent behaviour towards our staff, other guests or our neighbours is not tolerated.
Fire and safety
No candles, charcoal heaters (angithi), cooking appliances, open flames or fireworks. Bonfires are lit and supervised only by our staff. Please follow staff instructions on safety, weather, road closures and evacuation.
Children and pets
Children are supervised by a parent or guardian at all times, especially near balconies, stairs, heaters, water and roads. Pets are welcome under our Pet Policy: on a leash in common areas and never left alone in the room.
Damage
You are responsible for damage to our property caused by you, your party, your visitors or your pets, beyond normal wear and tear. We will show you the damage and charge the actual cost of repair or replacement.
Warnings and ending a stay
If a rule is broken, we first give a warning, except in serious cases. If a breach continues, or is serious (violence, threats, drugs or endangering safety), we may end the stay, and the remaining nights are not refunded. We call the police where the law requires it or anyone's safety is at risk.
Online check-in
Once your dates are confirmed, we send you a personal check-in link. Every adult in your group verifies their email, uploads a photo ID, accepts these rules and signs. It takes about four minutes per person, you receive a signed copy by email, and your room is ready to hand over the moment you arrive. Arriving without it? Scan the QR code at our front desk and finish it on your phone.
Your ID images are stored encrypted, seen only by our front-desk team, and deleted 180 days after check-out.

House rules: your questions
What are the quiet hours at Persimmon Farmstead?
Quiet hours are 10 PM to 7 AM at both our hotels. Music, speakers and loud conversation should not be heard outside your room during that time, and amplified music is not allowed in common areas at any time. The orchards around us are home to families and farmers who start work at dawn, and most of our guests come for exactly that quiet.
Can friends or family visit us at the hotel?
Yes, during the day. Visitors sign in at the front desk with a government photo ID, stay with you while they are on the property, and leave by 10 PM. Only registered guests can stay overnight, so if someone needs to stay, ask us to add them to your booking.
Why do you need a photo ID from every adult?
Hotels in India must register every guest, keep a guest register and report foreign nationals to the immigration authorities. We accept a passport, driving licence, voter ID, or Aadhaar in masked form. ID images are stored encrypted and deleted 180 days after check-out.
Do I need to check in online?
Yes. Every adult guest completes online check-in before arrival: we send you a personal link, and you verify your email, upload a photo ID, accept the house rules and sign. It takes about four minutes per person and you receive a signed copy by email. If you arrive without doing it, scan the QR code at our front desk and finish it on your phone.
What happens if a house rule is broken?
We start with a friendly reminder or a warning. If a breach continues, or is serious (violence, threats, drugs or anything that endangers safety), we may end the stay, and the remaining nights are not refunded. Our staff never use force; where needed, we call the police.
Tell us your dates. We'll confirm, personally.
You send a request, a real host confirms it by WhatsApp — usually within a few hours.
