Safety:

If you have a disability or are unsteady on your feet, please be aware that there are steps down to the house.

There is some lighting along the path and steps, but might need a torch at night if you likely to be unsure of your footing. The steps are safe and clear, but it is your responsibility that you descend and ascend them safely.  You will need to use a torch for access to the Cherry Tree cabin.

Parking:

Please park in the parking place and not on the edge of the pavement, so as not to block pedestrians. If all the parking places are filled, please park just down the road by the phone box and not block the road close to Healing Waters. Failure to do this could cause you to be fined by the police or upset to the neighbours.

During Your Stay:

Breakfast:

This is self-serve in the cupboards marked, ‘cereals’ (actually a mixture of cereals, crackers, biscuits and spreads) ‘fridge’, (help yourself to whatever you want) and cupboard marked ‘teas’. There is also fruit and bread available in the fruit bowl and bread-bin.

The water coming out of the normal taps is drinkable but not specially filtered.

You are also welcome to warm drinks throughout your stay.

Please let us know if you have any special dietary requirements. Otherwise, normal wheat bread, cows milk is available (coconut milk and rice milk is available on special request along with gluten free options).

Kitchen Use:

This is available for you to self-cater. Saucepans etc are in the cupboards and there is a cupboard of spices etc for your use. Please put things away cleanly after use. Remember that you are sharing the space with other guests, so leave it tidy please.

Dishwasher:

Do not open it during use as it will set off the fire alarms.

Bathrooms:

There is a Jacuzzi bathroom downstairs, and a shower room upstairs. To use the Jacuzzi, ensure that the water level comes above the jets when you are immersed, then turn the knob to activate the jets and press the button for the colour therapy. There is also an outside bathroom for use with the yurt.

Please be aware that the water can be very hot, especially coming out of the kitchen sink. The downstairs shower needs firstly to be switched on with the cord by the door. Could you please be thoughtful to other guests and leave the bathrooms and kitchen clean after use.

Security:

The rooms only lock from the inside by a bolt. They do not lock externally and there are no keys. If you do have items that you are worried about and are valuable, please lock them in your car or take them with you.

Please make sure that the back and the front door are locked properly when you leave the house and at night.

Wifi:

There is no wifi, but you can pick it up at my house, 73A Tor View Avenue, BA6 8AG

Yurt:

If you have booked the yurt, the key will be on the table in the kitchen with your welcome letter.  Please be mindful not to lock the key inside the yurt. Please return the key upon leaving. Yurt heating:  We provide 2 electric radiators and a wood burning stove with a single fire log that burns for 2 hours.  If you want to use the wood burning stove for a longer period, please request fuel from us at an additional cost of £10 per day.  Or purchase for yourself.  It burns smokeless fuel and well seasoned logs.  Please note that there are fire blankets for safety, as well as sand.

Other guests and Sanctuary Users:

Please be aware that there may be other guests staying at the Sanctuary, including in the Annexe at the entrance and in the Yurt. In addition, therapists may be conducting therapy sessions in the meditation room. You will see if the door is closed. Please be respectful of their shared use of the Sanctuary.

Fire Alarms:

Use of sage or other strong smoky incense will set off the fire alarms, although a single incense stick will not.

Also the dishwasher if opened during use will set them off.

Finally take care coming through the front door that you do not press the box on the inside of the door which would also set them off.

Candles and Incense:

Please do not burn candles or incense anywhere except the meditation room. Please do not leave them unattended.

Also do not place night lights on any surface without a proper dish or saucer under them. Finally do not burn any candles on the floor of the meditation room as the curtains may set on fire.
