• However, the only way we could get this to operate is ‘café style’, requiring you to sign in each day.
• Pleasingly, our new system should be ample for everyone, with mbps speeds good for movies and online meetings; but maybe not for everyone at once (although, our film streaming system uses a different wifi, so it’s always perfect).

• If you have any questions about our wifi, please email us

Despite featuring lots of glass, when all the doors and windows are properly closed, Barford has been designed to be supremely well insulated against the cold and the wind. However, on hot days, all that glass can make it feel a bit like a greenhouse, and when the weather is unseasonably hot, the specialist heat recovery system may struggle to keep the house cool; we recommend keeping the tilting Atrium windows open, wedging open all the internal doors, and locking open all the seaside sliding doors with a 1 cm gap, to allow a decent flow of air. Happy days.
