Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the questions guests often ask, but do feel free to ask Sandra (07973 676560) or Brian if you are still uncertain.
Where should I park the car?
You are welcome to park outside the main door whilst you unpack your car but should then move it/them over to the stables + fence opposite the drive to keep access clear for emergency vehicles.
Can I close the main gates?
The gates are left open for your arrival and can be closed should you wish.
Where are the dog garden and doggy paddock?
The dog (and your!) garden are opposite the main door as you enter the property. The paddock is down the grass lane at the side of the garden and is for your use if no one else is using it, please keep the gate closed.
The dog garden is made as secure for your dog as possible but if you notice any damage to the fencing please let us know.
Where do we dispose of dog poo?
It should be bagged and put in the bin provided in the dog paddock or in the bin near the main rubbish bin. Not in the garden compost bin!
What is the Wi-Fi password?
The Wi-Fi password is in the picture frame in the lounge on the games table.
Are there any USB charging points for my phone?
Yes there are several USB charging sockets: In the kitchen wall socket near the toaster; ground floor bedroom has 2 near the bed; double bedroom has 2 in each bedside lamp; twin bedroom has 2 points in the bedside lamp.
Yes, but do bear in mind that we are several miles from the nearest hub and the weather can affect the strength of the Wi-Fi but it’s usually good enough to watch Netflix etc.
