Championship Play-Off

In a shameless plug for our local football team (honestly, there is actually a stadium somewhere behind those new tower blocks), today we are raising the flag for Brentford Football Club to support them in the first leg of the Championship play-off against Bournemouth.

The match starts at 6pm (so, order in) and is available on SkySports or NowTV.

This is Brentford’s 10th attempt to get into the Premiership and success is estimated to be worth £110m – even if next year they come back down again (as has happened for Fulham and West Brom).

So, please support your local team tonight (sorry any QPR fans). It’s all part of living in Brilliant Brentford.

Come on you Bees!

Guest Rooms to re-open

We are pleased to be able to announce that, in line with government advice, the guest rooms will be re-opening from Monday the 17th of May.

There is one key restriction in place going forward – rooms will be thoroughly cleaned and left empty for two days between bookings. We hope you understand this precaution and we hope to open up more fully as government advice allows.

Our Caretaker, Michael, will be managing the bookings. Please pay by card if possible.

GYM RE-OPENED

It is with great pleasure that, following the improvements to infection levels driven by the vaciniation programme and the lockdown, we are following govenment advice in being able to re-open the gym.

There are still important rules to follow.

  1. Sign-in using the book provided on the table outside

2. Only one household can use the gym at any one time

3. Clean down all surfaces you have touched before you leave

4. Sign-out as you leave so that the next users can see how much time has passed.

We will be re-introducing the guest rooms and sauna facilities only when government advice allows.
