Care of the Property
We have decorated and equipped our properties to a high specification, most items have been individually sourced and are expensive to replace. Thank you for looking after everything. We do understand that accidents can happen, please report breakages asap to give us time to replace them before the next guests arrive. Please refer to our terms and conditions with any questions.
CCTV
Please note that CCTV is operational outside the property for security. If you have any questions, please contact us.
Wi-Fi
There is no password. Look for the name of your lodge and connect automatically.
If you have no internet, please turn off the black internet box from the plug in the utility room, wait 20 seconds and turn back on. If you still have any problems, contact reception on 01748 850333.
Noise
Please respect neighbouring properties and keep noise levels to a minimum between 10pm and 8am, especially outside using the hot tub.
Smoking
The properties are strictly non-smoking, and we ask you not to smoke vapes or e-cigarettes inside. A cigarette bin can be found outside.
Safety Around the Lakes
We ask you to supervise your children at all times when outdoors. Both lakes are deep in places and the lake bed is made of sticky, silty mud, not suitable for swimming! The river is excellent for paddling and bathing, weather permitting! There’s a path down to the “Brompton Beach” from the path that runs around the edge of the lakes.
There is a life ring on each of the lodges in the event of someone falling in the water; please do not allow children to play with these, they have been set up to allow the rope to run freely if needed!
Please do not use boats or radio controlled toys on the water, there may be nesting birds.
Rebook your stay:
If any guest in your party rebooks within 10 days of your stay, you are entitled to a 5% rebooking discount. The code for this discount is emailed to you on departure.
Refer a friend scheme:
You can also take advantage of our refer-a-friend scheme too. If you refer us to your friends and family and they place a booking with us for the first time they can benefit from a 5% discount and you will receive a £50 Holiday At Home voucher when they depart! Simply ask them to quote your name when they book and we will take care of the rest.Sink
We would like to make you aware that we operate a biomass treatment plant and putting excess cooking oil or grease down the sink may cause severe damage which will impact the surrounding environment.
Washer & Dryer
Dishwasher
Fridge & Freezer
Please do not overload the fridge freezer on arrival as this will cause the unit to overheat and therefore your food will not stay chilled which Holiday at Home cannot be held liable for. You shouldn’t need to alter the temperature during your stay. The plug for the unit is in the cupboard under the oven.
There is a fire blanket and extinguisher located in the utility room. There is an extinguisher in the sauna and BBQ hut.
Please read the fire safety information in your printed guestbook carefully on arrival. Note the exit routes, the way to open the windows and ensure you shut the doors at night. In the unlikely event of a fire, please think of your own safety first. Call the emergency services on 999 giving the address: Brompton Lakes, Easby, Richmond, DL10 7EJ
Then contact 01748 850333 (office hours) or the out of hours emergency number on 07919 451626
No fat or chip pan fryers should be used in the lodges.
Logs and kindling are provided in the lodge. Firelighters and matches will be by the log basket. The stoves inside can be swivelled around using the handles on the side, so you can direct the heat around the room.
WARNING: The outside of the stove does become hot, especially the lid and handles, please do not allow children to operate or play with the stove. Do not light the stove if it is of risk to children.
Take care when topping up the stove, the lid can fall back, keep hold of the handle using the glove provided when re-fuelling and do not put hands into the unit when the fire is lit.
More logs and kindling can be purchased from Reception.

Additional Lodge Instructions
Lighting & Torches
Each lodge has path lighting and downlights above the sliding doors which will come on between darkness and 12.30am. The lights to the lodge sides are activated by a motion sensor with a permanent override switch in the utility room.
You will find a torch in the kitchen drawer. The small torches plugged into the wall are a safety feature, and they will illuminate in case of a power outage. Please note that these torches are for emergency use only.
Heating & Hot Water
Our lodges have underfloor heating throughout; this is controlled by a heat pump that extracts solar heat from the lake to provide the heating and the hot water. The heat pump operates like a fridge in reverse. We’re also very pleased to say that we use all renewable energy, produced here in Yorkshire. You will have seen the solar panels in the field.
Please do not attempt to adjust the heat pump main controls yourself, use the room temperature thermostats on the wall. If this doesn’t do the trick, please ask at reception and we will attend the lodge. *Please note: Due to the low temperature nature of how heat pumps operate, the room thermostats need approximately 2 hours to react when adjusted. We suggest setting the thermostats at 20C.
The log burning stove is the best way of warming the lodge quickly and economically, there will be plenty of wood to get you going during your stay. If you run out, please speak to reception. There’s a separate guide on using this.
The heat pump also provides hot water. The water can take up to 60 seconds to run through to the bedrooms at the end of the corridor, so please leave the tap running if it doesn’t get hot straight away. The heat exchanger and pump need about 40-60 minutes to restore the hot water so please stagger bathing and showering to maintain water temperatures.
Bathrooms
Towel Rails
The bathrooms have thermostatically controlled heated towel rails. These will only come on when the room temperature is below the setting on the thermostat. You can increase the temperature on the remote thermostat on the wall in the bathroom. The override off switch is low down outside the bathroom door.
Toilets
The sewage and waste are disposed of using a high performance ‘Bio-Disc’ treatment plant. Waste from the lodges is pumped via a macerator to a central treatment plant that uses natural bio-degradable processes to break down the pollutants in the wastewater. The quality of the resultant effluent allows us to discharge ‘clean’ liquids into the river.

Rubbish should be put in the bin which can be found outside the lodge. Recycling bags are provided in the utility room for the mixed recycling bins. Please do not leave rubbish bags outside the lodge where animals may be tempted.
We recycle glass, paper, cans, and recyclable plastics and cartons (check on the pack), please use the boxes accordingly. You can help by making sure bottles, cans and containers are clean before putting them into the box.
There are 3 bins stores around Brompton Lakes, marked B on the map below. The red bins are general waste, the large blue bins are for recyclables, and a separate small blue bin is for glass. We appreciate you taking out the bins before departing.
