Comprehensive cooking utensils, oven ware cutlery, crockery for four guests and of course a tea pot and bottle opener are included.

We do provide a connection guidance sheet, but we rely on guests to be able to setup and connect their computers to the Internet. Installed in The Barn is a 'Netgear 54Mb wireless modem/router '. We can loan guests a standard ethernet cable if required. NB. Our ISP is reliable (and proven by our guests), but of course we remain entirely dependant on the ISP.

We contact you just prior to your journey to confirm your itinery, 'iron rations', your wine preference, and, if you wish us to reserve a table at 'Lou Cantoun' our local popular restaurant table just 4 minutes drive away. (See left le chef M. Bernard).
