Whilst we make every effort to ensure Brookville is in full working order, occasionally something goes wrong. We want your stay to be as enjoyable as possible and therefore if you have any issues or queries then please let our housekeeper know and she will work with you to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. Our friendly housekeeper, Clair, lives locally and knows the area well, so please do not hesitate to contact her should you need help.

A first aid kit can be found in the cupboard under the kitchen sink. Emergency medical information can be found elsewhere in this guide.
We have a combi-boiler system which means hot water is available on demand at all times. The heating is on a timer and comes on in the morning and evening, however, if you wish to have the heating on then the timer can be overridden by using the NEST thermostat. If you have any issues with the heating, please call our caretaker, who can control the heating remotely.
We make every effort to ensure that everything is in good working order, but occasionally you might find something that requires some attention. For major issues please contact our caretaker who will be happy to assist, however, if its something minor then please complete a maintenance request slip and leave on the dining table at the end of your visit so it can be rectified ready for the next guest.
The garden can either be accessed via the french doors in the top bedroom, or via the footpath to the right of the car park. Please do not use the steps by the ground floor rear door as they are old and unsafe. This access route has therefore been blocked for your safety. The garden has a charcoal BBQ which you are welcome to use, however, we do ask that you leave in an appropriate state after use ready for the next guest.
There is nothing nicer on a cold day than to snuggle in front of the fire, so please feel free to light the log burner for which we have provided a basket of logs for your use. Additional logs can used from our log store located in the Brookville car park. Log burners get extremely hot, so please ensure you use the fireguard provided and keep the children safely away from the area immediately surrounding the stove.
Additional pillows and blankets can be found in the top of the bedroom wardrobes.
A selection of DVDs, games and books can be found in the lounge bookcase. All TV’s have Amazon Firesticks installed which allow access to all the major channels and radio stations via an app. Terrestrial Freeview channels are only available on the lounge TV. In addition, we have provided Netflix which can be access by all TV’s, either via the Amazon Firestick or via the Netflix button on the TV remote control. A CD player / bluetooth speaker can also be found in the lounge, unfortunately FM and digital radio signals are too weak to be picked up. However, radio stations can be found on the TVs via the app on the Amazon Firestick.
Appliance instruction manuals can be found using the links on this page.
