Tomorrow, 4th July is our re-opening after over 3 months of closure due to Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. We look forward to welcoming many returning and new guests to our self contained self-catering holiday cottages, in our beautiful part of the world.
We are following strict Covid-19 guidelines and have implemented many new safety measures, which we would like you follow. Together with our normal high cleaning standards, we will also be wearing PPE and carrying out thorough and vigorous cleaning and disinfection of all cottages and all surfaces before your arrival.
It is mandatory that Social Distancing of 2 metres with anyone outside your 'stay bubble' is adhered to at all times during your stay.
We normally like to greet you, welcome you to your cottage and show you round. Mabel is available to see you outside but can no longer see you into your cottage. All books, magazines, dvds, playing cards and games have been removed. Please bring your own books, dvds, cards or board games with you.
We have provided hand sanitiser, wipes and bleach spray for you to use within the cottage during your stay. However, these belong to Milton Mains Holiday Cottages, please do not take them off site and they are to remain in the cottage when you leave.
It is essential on leaving that you take all your personal belongings with you and empty the cupboards, fridge and freezer of all your food. And place rubbish in the bins outside your cottage or leave in black bags at your cottage door.
Please also open all the windows prior to your departure to allow a fresh supply of air into the cottage.
Check out must be before 10am to allow us to commence our enhanced and thorough cleaning protocols. We'll do our utmost to ensure check in continues to be 3pm onwards so you can settle in for your break. However, please be understanding that this may not always be possible.
Other than you adhering to the above, it is mandatory that if you have any symptoms at all, suspect you have Covid-19 or have been in contact with someone who now has Covid-19, you MUST NOT come to our holiday cottages. We'll be more than happy to rearrange your stay dates.
We are family run and our utmost priority is to protect the health of all visitors, staff and family members alike.
If you have a temperature, sore throat, cough, loss of taste/smell or any other symptoms do not travel. Stay at home, notify us and request a test.
If you start with any of the above symptoms on holiday you must ring us immediately and seek PHE advice. Do not leave your cottage other than to return home and we will have to postpone the break of the following guest/guests due to the 72 hour surface and fomite risk to cleaners.
Our last main point to mention is that the shared hot tub will no longer be in use. The Barn's self contained garden Hot Tub will be in use for The Barn's guests only.
Again, we're extremely pleased to be welcoming you. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to contact us by private message.
Kindest regards from John and Mabel
