Up here at Holestone Moor Barns all sorts of exciting things
happen! Below is a selection of our news ... !
No more boiler problems!
2 March 2010
Over
the last couple of years the central heating system in The Barn
has gradually been dying; and between the two cottages we've had
5 boilers in the last 10 years! In the rooms where failed
radiators had to be removed, we installed convector heaters as
an experiment. We found these worked very well, so during the
last couple of weeks, we've removed the oil boilers and all the
remaining radiators in both cottages. We'll gradually replace
the 'older' convectors with smarter new ones.
For hot water we've had gi-normous water tanks installed (the one for the Barn is taller than Steve!), with 2 immersion heaters each. The one for the Barn will run 3 showers (out of 5) simultaneously, which is much the same if not slightly better than before.
So now we're 'all electric' which will be wonderful when the Wind Turbine is up and running again, hopefully later this month (March 2010).
News for February
8 February 2010
We have planning permission for our new road! We'll have to wait until the weather's a bit better, but will start as soon as possible. We'll start from the road end, and will get the council to do that bit, as it has to be done to their specification.
Watch out for photos on the Picture gallery.
Happy New Year!
7 January 2010
The
Holestone Moor Barns team would like to wish a very happy new year
to all our past and future guests!
Check out our recent Facebook pictures.
And then there's THE BIG FREEZE - as the weather forecast says it's set to continue for at least the next 10 days, may we ask enquirers/guests to phone or email, and to send payments by bank transfer (bank details will be given as necessary), as we've had no post delivered since New Year's Eve!
