Guest Information

To help you enjoy your stay we have prepared the following information sheet.

You should receive a copy of this information when you make a booking - you might like to print it out here (pdf) to bring with you.

1) Welcome! Please book in on arrival and sign in enbloc.

2) There should always be a "Duty Officer" allocated to be around to help you settle in at weekends and to answer any questions, issue keys etc. Do ask anyone you meet to tell you who this is.

3) Please pay your hut fees enbloc on the Sunday morning or when you book in. Prices pppn for 2008:

• For members (and clubs with reciprocal rights) it is £2.50 to stay inside or camp.
• For non-members it is £4.50 to stay inside, and £3.50 to camp.
• For pre-booked university caving clubs there is a discounted rate of £3.50 to stay inside.

4) Guest sleeping accommodation is normally as follows (The cottages are numbered 1-10 from the left as you face the front of the cottages)

• Women only No 6 rear (above main kitchen up ladies stairs – purple door)
• Men only No 9 front (above long common Rm up gents stairs) - can also be mixed if it gets busy!
• Mixed No 10 front (above Library up end stairs)
  
  
• We don't unfortunately have facilities for guest children.

  5) Camping is only allowed in the grassed area in front of the cottages.

  6) No excessive noise after midnight. The bunkrooms are directly above the common rooms and kitchen.

  7) Cave permits (where necessary) must be arranged before your arrival. See the Caving page and click on the cave you want to visit, to find out about Access and Permits.

  8) Every caving party must fill out a trip ticket and hang it on the destination board, so that we know who is underground and when to expect their return. See access page for an example.

  9) Guests are expected to clear up promptly after eating and to help keep the eating and food preparation areas clean and tidy. Spare cleaning materials are in the cupboard in the Dining Room.
  
  10) The showers and changing areas do get dirty, but it would help if you could assist by hosing them down after you have used them.
  
  11) Smoking is not permitted anywhere in the cottages. Well behaved dogs are allowed only in the Small Common Room and the signing in/telephone area (downstairs of cottage no 8).

  12) Please keep the toilet areas clean and tidy. The loo roll stock is in the loft above the gents toilets area.

  13) Guests may use the Library if it is open, but they may not borrow any materials without permission from the Librarian.
  
  14) If you are the last to leave the building please follow the switching off instructions on the fuse board in the main passage.
  
  15) If there is a problem please bring it to the attention of the Duty Officer or a committee member, failing that here are a list of local numbers you can contact.
