Covid-19 Update
In response to the pandemic and the restrictions still in place, we have undertaken a full risk assessment and have drawn up new procedures aimed at reassuring you that your stay will be as safe as we can make it.
In addition to our usual thorough cleaning regime, and with your safety in mind, we have implemented the following: After cleaning, antiviral disinfectant will be used to sanitise all surfaces and high touch items and areas such as worktops, tables, handrails, welcome folder, remote controls, switches, sockets, door/window handles, thermostats, plugs & appliances.
The key safe will be sanitised. Towels and bed linen will continue to be washed on the highest temperature as per the manufacturer's guidance. Anti-bacterial wipes, hand sanitizer and liquid soap will be provided, together with additional cleaning materials for guests to use during your stay. We didn’t want to strip the place bare and remove things like the walking books, maps and DVDs which we know our guests find so useful but as you will appreciate, it is just not possible to individually sanitise all of these items. Feel free to wipe them with the antibacterial wipes provided. We hope you find our cleaning regime reassuring and that you have an enjoyable and safe stay at Syke Barn.
