Emergency evacuation procedures
Alarm only. We do have door hanger cards to alert us to guests who will not hear the alarm. As we are a small guest house we would know this and escort them out to safety ourselves.
Customer care support
We (the proprietors) are on site most of the time but not all of the time. We provide as much assistance to guests as we can. However, during the night we ask that contact only be made if it is an emergency situation. We do not provide an assistance service throughout the night. If this is required then we can advise on numbers to call that overnight care can be arranged and paid for in advance. Generally this needs to be pre-booked with plenty of advance notice. With regards to the emergency pull cords, we can only hear those in the day time, not in the night time due to the thick stone walls in th Farm House.
