π BinsΒ
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 Β (blue bin - labelled)
Bin collection is early Thursday morning (blue bins weekly, green bin every three weeks). Just drop your rubbish/ recycling down there when you pop out.
π» WifiΒ
is super quick with fibre to the house - c 300Mbps down/ 50Mbps up
π₯΅ HeatingΒ
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. 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 (please don't use the burner in the kitchen) - but please be mindful of fires, a fire engine won't make it up here! 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 it's programmed to come on.
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 and it's on a timer.
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
π§WaterΒ
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.Β
