To use the fireplace safely and effectively, please follow these requirements:
- Only use one smokeless fire log at a time. This is the recommended maximum for the fireplace/stove.
- Approved smokeless fire logs can be purchased from ParcMarket.
- Do not use branches, logs or anything else collected from the forest or from other sources.

During extreme dry weather spells we take advice from the Met Office, please see below some basic fire safety points:
- Smoking is permitted only in designated smoking locations on village and on the patio of accommodation
- The use of wood from the forest is strictly prohibited for use on the fire in accommodation (please only use logs purchased from ParcMarket)
- The making of fires of any sort is strictly prohibited
- Should you discover a fire no matter how small, please contact the village emergency number or call 999
- Due to our forest environment, we may need to withdraw the use of BBQ’s and logs in extreme hot weather
We do have regular fire checks in place but please be vigilant and help us to maintain a safe environment in the forest.
