Bins & utilities

🗑 Bins

are down by the main gate and split between:

general rubbish (green bin)
paper and card (blue bin - labelled)
bottles and glass (blue bin - labelled)
plastic and tins (blue bin - labelled)

Bin collection is Thursday morning (blue bins weekly, green bin every three weeks). Just drop your rubbish/ recycling down there when you pop out.

💻 Wifi

is super quick with cable to the house - c 300Mbps down/ 50Mbps up

🥵 Heating

is mainly from wood - glorious, Llwyn Glas wood. It's felled, cut up, split up... all on site and then burnt in a biomass boiler in the green barn. You won't need to worry about doing anything - just msg me if you want the thermostat turned up or down. If you're staying in the Main house, you can be even woodier - there's a log burner in the lounge and everything you need for a roaring fire.. If you're staying in the Annexe, there are electric heaters in those rooms that don't have radiators.

The Annexe:

has an infrared heater in the kitchen - this is pretty powerful. Just turn on at the plug and then use the remote to turn it on. REMEMBER to turn this off at the plug when not in use - the planet and myself will thank you for it
has an electric wall-mounted convection heater in the snug below the window. To turn on, there is an on/ off switch located underneath, about 10cm from the right-hand corner. Please don't change the thermostat and remember to turn off
has a freestanding electric heater in the bedroom - pretty basic, just remember to turn off

The Main house

radiators in all rooms
log burner in lounge

💧Water

is all from our private spring (via filtration!). The upside of this is that it tastes lovely and is free - the downside is that the pressure is pretty rubbish and it's important to not waste it. Just so you know, Mark from the council comes round every year and tests it - it's good water.

🍺 Booze

may not strictly be a utility, but...

There's a cabinet built into the Main House pantry wall, behind which, is a random collection of alcohol. By all means take and enjoy, just make sure you drink responsibly and replace with something for future guests.
