Other things to note Pets: Well behaved dog or cat is very welcome, we do not charge additional cleaning fees for having a pet stay with you, however we do ask that you supervise your pet during your stay and don’t allow them to go on furniture (there is a dog blanket and sheepskin rug in the wardrobe for pets). Please ensure that your pet is clean before they are allowed inside the barn. Thank you. Please note – the garden is private, but not perfectly secured (small gaps in the hedge to one side and open to the parking area) and might be not suitable if your pet tends to escape or for high energy dogs. If you are planning to bring a pet with you, please let us know whilst booking. Children: The barn is ideally designed for 2 people and it is not suitable for children under 12. Please ask before booking. Wood burning stove: We provide a small firewood bundle with each booking during winter months (October to end of March). If more is required local shops and petrol stations stock seasoned wood. Working from Home: Rose Barn is predominantly set up for holidays/leisure visits alike, we do not provide any business amenities or desk space. Please discuss with us first if you're planning on extensive remote working during your stay. Electric Vehicles: Our electricity supply can not support charging of an electric vehicle at the moment and as such we do not allow charging from any electric socket in the barn as it will overload the installation this is due to the age of the building and a number of high consumption devices already relying on the supply. There are numerous public charging points available within 5 miles radius. Winter Visits: Due to the age, type and location of the building, during colder spells the electric heating alone is able to maintain constant room temperature of between 19 and 21 degC (66 to 70 degF) if operated according to instructions. Together with the wood burning stove you will be able to reach much higher temperatures and feel really cosy.
