FAQs
Read on below for some common questions we are asked about Blueberry Barn. If you have any further questions or would like clarification on any matter, please get in touch with us by email.
Do you offer self-check in? Yes, we have a key safe box
Do you offer 1-2 night stays? Sorry, no.
Do you offer 4 night breaks? For much of the year, yes. However, during periods of peak demand, such as Christmas and New Year, we only offer one week or longer.
How good is the Wi-Fi? We have fibre optic to the premises, and with a bespoke router system we are able to offer free Wi-Fi to unlimited numbers of devices throughout the cottage.
Is there a wood-burning stove? Yes, and we will provide you with a basket full of logs.
Do you allow young children? Yes, we welcome children of all ages, we have a cot always available, free of charge, suitable for infants or children up to 2 yrs, which converts to a small bed for up to 4 yr olds. We also have 2 highchairs.
Do you allow pets? Yes, up to two well behaved dogs are allowed but please do not allow them up on the furniture or into the bedrooms as some of our guests may have allergies. We would politely ask that you do not leave your pets unattended in the holiday let, unless they are left in the utility room, which is warm and comfortable.
What are the arrival and departure times? Arrival is any time after 16:00 hours, and departure is by 10:00 a.m. This gives us time to ensure the cottage is ready for the next occupants. On Sundays we try to extend the check-out time until noon, but we cannot guarantee that in advance.
Is smoking permitted in the cottages? Anti-smoking legislation covers the holiday cottage but you may smoke outside if you dispose of the butts in an ashtray, not the flower pots.
Do you have a BBQ? Yes there is a Gas BBQ available for your use.
Is there plenty of parking? Yes, we have space for up to 3 cars.
Can we order a breakfast hamper? Yes we need 2 days’ notice for this when you book.
Can we use the tennis court? Yes you can, we can lend you balls and racquets.
Can we walk anywhere on the farm? On the footpaths and bridle ways, with dogs on leads or under close control as we have sheep and cows and ground nesting birds.
Where is the nearest supermarkets? A farm shop very nearby is Gilcombe, there is also Sainsbury’s in Frome or Morrisons or Lidl in Wincanton and there is a Budgens and Spa shop in nearby Bruton.
Where is the nearest pub? The Olde Red Lion also serves food and is one mile up the hill, so walking distance! The Three Horse Shoes in nearby Batcombe and The Blue Ball in Bruton are also recommended.
Are linen and towels included? Yes, the beds will be made up for your arrival and each guest has one large bath towel and one hand towel.
What dry provisions are there in the kitchen? There will be a selection of teabags and coffee and sugar cubes in the cupboards, as well as salt and pepper and cooking oil. We provide washing up liquid and a few dishwasher tablets as well as a few WC rolls.
