Information

Arrival and Departure times

We look forward to seeing you at any time from 4pm onwards on the day of your arrival. Please do not arrive any earlier as the cottages will be not be ready for you. Departure time is by 10am. 

Pets 

We welcome one well behaved pet per property. Please be aware that for other pets, we charge an extra £20 per pet.

Wifi

Free wifi is provided within all the properties but, as we are in a rural area, can be temperamental. We cannot guarantee its provision at all times but will endeavour to maintain it.

Electric Chargers

We are delighted to offer chargers for electric cars at Mill Hill and Peak Hall. They are 7kw chargers so work on an overnight charge, or better still during the day when they can be used in conjunction with our PV array, which can use our solar power units.

Bed Linen/Towels

All bed linen is included with the booking and this includes a bath sheet and hand towel per guest. If you are staying longer than a week, we will happily refresh all linen and towels and give the property a mid stay clean.

Small Events 

It is the hirer's responsibility to inform the owners of any event with more than 30 guests held at the barns. This should include the precise times, date and full details of the event including all third parties and equipment used, leased or employed by the hirers at the barns. All equipment must be removed by 9am on the day of departure and we cannot be held responsible for any items left on site after this time. Any catering or service vehicles should remain on hard standing/parking areas at all times. The hirer is required to leave the properties as found with all kitchen items or furniture placed back in their original positions. Bookings cannot be accepted by those under the age of 25 or from a party where the majority of members are under 25 years old (excluding families and supervised groups). We do not accept single sex parties and we require the names and addresses of those attending prior to booking. The hirer will be responsible for all persons including on the booking form and should be aware of the terms and conditions of the booking. Drones, fireworks, sky lanterns, confetti and balloons are not allowed as we live on a working farm, we would be grateful if you refrained from having any of these items being used outside. We would be grateful if you could remove all balloons before leaving the property and that any confetti should be biodegradable. Our ‘Small Event Fee' is the fee for holding an event at Tittleshall Barns and is £1000. Any missing or damaged items will be charged in full. A good housekeeping deposit of £1000 will be required and will be fully refunded providing the properties are left in good condition and no damage has occured.

A deposit will be due to all parties booking all four properties simultaneously.
