The Pool House at Upper Farm Henton

10/06/2024

Summer may be taking a while to properly arrive, but the pool is heated to a very pleasant 27C. We've had lots of guests and families who have been enjoying the Pool & Pool House since the start of our pool heating season on 1st May.

We still have some dates available for June & July and a only one 5 night stay left from 26th to 31st August.

We are extremely sad to announce that Martin Roberts, the amazing owner/proprietor of The Peacock Country Inn sadly lost his battle with cancer at the end of September.

Many of our guests will have enjoyed the hospitality of The Peacock during their stays with us and a great number of you (especially our repeat guests) have spent time chatting with Martin.

Martin's wife Sue takes over the day to running ofThe Peacock supported by the fantastic team that Martin built up over the years.

For those that wish to donate to Martin's memory, there is a fund raising page supporting the hospice Sobell House that provided the exceptional end of life care to Martin along with support to his family.

With only 10 days to go until we reach the end of the "Pool Heating Season", it has been another busy summer at the Pool House with lots of guests making great use of our large heated swimming pool.

This year (since 1st May), 37.5% of all guests staying at The Pool House at Upper Farm Henton have stayed with us before and it has been pleasure to welcome them back.

Another 37.5% of guests booked directly with us as 1st time guests to benefit from the best possible price when booking directly on our website www.upperfarmhenton.co.uk

And the remaining 25% were new guests that booked via an Online Travel Agency (such as Airbnb, Booking.com, etc).

We have some remaining availability from 21st September to 30th September for anyone looking for a last minute getaway (minimum stay is 3 nights) and the pool is heated until the end of this month.

Then from 1st October, the pool heating is switched off until 1st May 2023. The Pool House is then available as a Studio Chalet with Hot Tub from 1st October to 30th April.

We have had some truly lovely and amazing guests stay with us over the years. But every so often (and thankfully very rarely) a group checks-in that believe our rules, terms and conditions (and more importantly the law) don't apply to them.

Well a warning to anyone who thinks that it's OK to smoke or take drugs in our vacation rentals, this is the end result. Eviction from the property by the police, your stay cut short, no refund for unspent nights and full forfeiture of your security deposit.

We love hosting guests and will always greet you with a warm smile and a friendly welcome. But if you disrespect us or our property, then be prepared to suffer the consequences.

With all the lovely Spring sunshine that we've been having, the Swimming Pool is already at temperature.

As we gear up to re-open The Pool House and The Chiltern Lodges on Monday 12th April, I'm delighted to provide our returning and new guests a sneak peek of some of the changes that we have made to the Pool House during lockdown 3.0 taking onboard the invaluable feedback we have received.

The Pool House has been undergoing a major internal renovation project since December and we are just putting the final touches to it before we re-open on Monday 12th April.

For anyone who's interested in what we've been up to:

We took down the wall between the boot room and the main living area and moved it 80cm towards the main living area. This created enough space in the boot room to turn it into a proper 2nd bedroom, complete with a full sized pull down double bed with bedside units and a 32" Smart TV. The tiled floor was lifted and replaced with a high quality wooden floor.

All of the electric radiators and electric water heaters have been replaced with a full gas central heating system and combi boiler for hot water.

The bathroom shower has been upgraded to the same rainfall showers that we have in the lodges (and that our customers love).

The old shingle roof was replaced in January with a new tiled roof.

The main living area has had new high quality flooring laid and all of the furniture (bed, bedside tables, sofa, dining table and media unit) have been replaced with high quality more durable and stylish furniture.

We've put blackout curtains across the sliding patio doors and blackout roman blinds onto the windows in the main living area and 2nd bedroom.

New flooring has been laid in the kitchen.

And all rooms have had a fresh coat of paint with some new colour choices (the magnolia has finally gone!!!)

We can't wait to share the new look pool house with you and will get the photo's posted as soon as we've finished (hopefully by mid to late March).

Following the latest government announcement, we will re-open The Pool House and The Chiltern Lodges to guests on Monday 12th April 2021.

Between Monday 12th April and Sunday 16th May, all guests must be from the same household and we will require proof of address information for all guests, particular for Red Kite (our 3 bedroom lodge) or for the Pool House if the booking has more than 2 adults..

From Monday 17th May, the "Rule of 6" comes back in to effect, with 6 people from a maximum of 2 separate households able to mix indoors.

By Monday 21st June, it is hoped that all remaining restrictions will be lifted.
