1. NO SMOKING or CANDLES are allowed in the bunkhouse or any other buildings on the farm.
2. NO FIREWORKS on the farm.
3. Dogs are welcome, All dogs to be on a lead at all times when outside the building even when going to and from the car.
There are chickens and farm cats roaming around the farm yard and sheep, chickens and horses in the fields adjacent to the bunkhouse. Guest’s dogs have killed chickens and farm cats and sheep in the past, and just a dog jumping at the fence or gate could cause a sheep to miscarry. In the interests of fairness and the safety of the animals in my care, there are no exceptions. If a dog is found off its lead it and its owner will be asked to leave immediately.
Visitors with dogs are requested to not leave them alone in the building unless in a dog crate and to clear up after them in the garden or if taking them for a walk on the property even in the fields. There is a parasite dogs carry which is fatal to sheep which is not covered by standard wormers.
4. It is advisable that the visitor takes out their own holiday insurance cover.
5. Gilfach Wen is a working farm, for their own safety visitors may not wander around the farm or go into the farm buildings without permission. Booking of Gilfach Wen Barn entitles guests to use the holiday let, private garden for the holiday let and car park.
The sheep at Gilfach Wen are a rare breed which have been trained to come when called. I will be happy to talk to guests about the animals, but ask that visitors do not try to feed any animals at other times.

9. Additional guests. I retain the right to enter the property and check on the number of people present, and to require additional people who have not paid for accommodation to leave.
10. Unacceptable behaviour. I reserve the right to require any individual who is aggressive to staff, myself, put the animals on the farm in danger or where I am concerned about them causing excessive damage to the property to leave the property immediately.
