  2. b) For any matter which it would be illegal for us to exclude or attempt to exclude our liability. Fires and Outdoor Cooking - Fire Safety: 

Outdoor fires are only permitted in the designated fire pits. Outdoor cooking is via BBQs, Rocket  Stove or your own or loaned by us camping gas hob. The fire pits must never be moved, and  especially into or near the accommodation. Please keep all means of outdoor cooking at least 5m  away from the accommodation. They are never to be left unattended, once lit, until it has been  extinguished after use. 

Each accommodation has a hose point nearby, a powder or water mist extinguisher, pan fire  extinguishing sachets and fire blankets. Information of where these are located and how to use  them is in the guest info book and all guests should familiarise themselves with where they are. 

Please make sure the fire pit, BBQ or Rocket Stove is fully extinguished and cool before replacing  the lid on the fire pit. 

Only adults may use the fire pit and children must never be left unsupervised around the camp fire  or BBQ. 

Please do not leave your dog unattended by a lit fire pit. 

Fires must be kept to a sensible size, should your fire pit get out of hand contact the campsite  staff immediately. 

Occasionally, in extreme heat and dry ground conditions, we reserve the right to remove the fire  pits from the site in the interest of safety. 

Please do not collect any wood from the farm for burning. 

No Chinese lanterns or fireworks. 

WE DO NOT ALLOW GROUND FIRES. 

All tea lights must be kept in the lanterns provided. 

Please do not tamper with any of the gas bottles. If you think the gas has run out please ring us  and we’ll investigate. 

The door to the stove must be kept closed at all times when lit. There is a fire extinguisher and fire  blanket in every property. There is strictly no smoking allowed on the premises. We take our Health and Safety responsibilities very seriously and ask visitors to respect our safety  rules and make themselves aware of the surroundings during daylight hours. The Emergency Fire  Assembly Point is located to the left of the main (vehicular access) Glampsite gate and denoted 

by the appropriate sign, which is also marked on our Site Plan included within your Information Pack. 

We can take NO responsibility for any accidents incurred as a result of careless use of stoves and fire pits. 

Livestock 

Our site is part of a working farm so occasionally we have live stock in the surrounding fields.  Namely horses and sheep. Please admire the livestock from your side of the fence and not theirs,  Oaksbrook can’t be held responsible for any accidents if you are in their field. We also ask that  you don’t feed any of our livestock. Feeding them the wrong food can lead to illness or death of  the animal, it can also cause them to fight which may cause injury to them, it also can encourage  them to mug visitors or bite. Since they interact with people therapeutically it is important that  they don’t expect titbits from humans. We realise people do love to feed animals and there will be  occasions where we might organise a demo or interaction with the horses where we set them a  task and use food as a reward and guests may have the opportunity to experience that.  

You may be asked to keep your dog on a lead to protect both livestock and your dog. Dogs should be prevented at all times from causing anxiety or harm to any animals or livestock.  Dogs must be kept on max 3 meter leads at all times and can never be left in the accommodation  alone. Your pet is your responsibility at all times, and we cannot be held liable for your pet during  your stay. We reserve the right to ask any party to terminate their holiday if a pet cannot abide by  these requirements or adversely affects another guests’ stay. In the event that your pet should  injure any animals on site then you may be asked to remove your pet from site. 

Caveat: We have dogs ourselves who we know are safe around livestock and also love to meet  new dogs, depending on where the livestock are on the farm and what other guests are staying it  is usually possible for our 4 legged guests to have some off lead free space to run and play. If you  happen to be the only guests staying in the Glamping area which is totally secure or all guests are  from your own party your dog(s) can enjoy the site as a large garden to explore at will. When  booking assume the rules, but always talk to Jane on arrival as we will advise depending on the  circumstances at the time of your stay. 

Car Park 

The parking is a three-minute walk away from the Glampsite approximately 800m, and vehicles  are forbidden from entering the farm beyond the farmyard parking. Exceptions include those with  mobility issues who need to drop off and pickup luggage. Parking is at the risk of vehicular  owners, and Oaksbrook accepts no liability for damage to or loss from said vehicles. Our staff will  be available to help guide you and your belongings to your accommodation upon arrival, or for  non contact check ins detailed instructions will be sent in advance to you. 

We have CCTV in operation at the entrance gates to the farm and in the farm yard parking areas  only.
