Bushey Heath Farm

We hope the following doesn’t put  you off.  It is intended to clarify what we are about and hopefully answer some questions.  The sterner points are for the minority of folks who need reminding!

Please note all deposit cheques are payable to R Baraona or L Thomas and NOT Bushey Heath Farm.

Payment of the deposit acknowledges that you have read, understood and accepted the accommodation details and our terms and conditions, as outlined on our website.

Bunk Barns

• A 50%, non-returnable deposit secures your booking. The balance is payable 4 weeks before arrival for all bookings.  If cancellation occurs within this 4 weeks we will return the balance only if we are able to secure another booking.  We reserve the right to cancel your booking if we feel it necessary and will refund all payments made.
• We apply a returnable good use/damages deposit (usually £100 per barn) and require full payment before arrival from groups booking barns.  The accommodation costs are kept down by visitors leaving the bunk barns as clean and tidy when they leave as they found it.  All the materials and resources are in the barns to enable cleaning, rubbish and recycling disposal.  You are expected to leave the barns as you find them and we will deduct costs for excessive cleaning, inappropriate uses, any damage or breakages we deem appropriate.
• You should arrange your own holiday cancellation insurance.
• Arrival time after 4pm. Departure time before 11 am.
• The maximum capacity of each barn is as stated/agreed – the price is up to that maximum.  If you have one extra person we may be able to accommodate them.  Extra persons in the bunk barns are charged £10 per night. Bunk barn visitors are politely reminded that the facilities in the bunk barns are for their use during their stay, please do not invite friends from the campsite to use the barn facilities as this greatly increases wear and tear.
• Parking is limited to 2 vehicles per barn in the farmyard.  We encourage car sharing.  If you are arriving with alot of vehicles you will need to park some in the overflow car park.
• Basic blankets and pillows are provided along with pillowcases, but sleeping bags, towels and tea towels are required.
• The farmyard is often busy with vehicles and is not for playing games in, please use the campsite, when open.
• All indoor areas at Bushey Heath Farm are non smoking, outside buckets are provided for smokers.
• We accept dogs by prior arrangement.  Any dogs MUST be on a lead at all times around our working farm.  Dog owners are asked to take special care to clean up after their dog outside and inside, especially dog hair and to avoid damage to polished wooden floors.
• We are not a noisy party venue and do not take groups wishing to bring any music systems, fireworks, chinese lanterns etc.  The barns are in the curtilage of our home and you should be aware of this when booking.  Please keep the late evening noise to an absolute minimum, especially after 11pm.  Please bear this in mind when enquiring or booking.

Bothys

We require full payment for your booking, this is non-returnable.  You need to bring everything you would normally need for camping, except a tent!  Because the bothys are made of wood and varnished inside follow these safety rules.
