Privacy Policy and Data Protection

The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) came into force in May 2018.  Privacy Policies are not meant to be confusing or too wordy, so I intend to be as concise about it as possible.

Here at Old Oak Barn we don’t obtain your personal information apart from your name and email address if you email us in our normal Windows Mail inbox. A contact number is requested if you make a booking with us.

We have no database to store information. So if anyone requested to see your data we would have nothing to show them. We have no form as such on our website for you to complete – we simply ask you to email us direct in the normal way.

Your information will not be passed to third parties. SO when you get in touch with Old Oak Barn including to send an enquiry, by email to info@oldoakbarn.co.uk you agree to allow Old Oak Barn to reply to you on the email address given.

Personal information can be anything that identifies an individual, including but not limited to name, address, date of birth, marital status, contact information, financial records and credit information – but we never ask for this information apart from contact information necessary but only IF you make a booking.  If we use a photo on social media it is always with your permission but we rarely use images of any of our visitors.

If you need any clarification at all on my Privacy Policy then please ask.

Customer Service

We pride ourselves on going that extra mile to look after our visitors from the moment that first enquiry is made, while staying here and after they have departed. All messages and email are replied to personally by Charlotte. We will always get back to you pronto if you have any questions or queries. While staying we are on hand to assist in any way possible to make sure you have a wonderful holiday or break. We can unpack online groceries if they arrive before you! We can reserve a table at any restaurant. We can adjust the heating before arrival to suit preferences. We can put NO fresh flowers out if you are allergic. We always leave some fresh eggs and other small bunches of herbs or seasonal veg from our garden. Sometimes we leave fresh bara brith or mince pies. At Christmas you can decorate the fresh tree supplied or we can do it for you. We listen to what you want us to do to make sure you get the most out of staying here at Old Oak Barn. Over the years visitors have shown their appreciation in all sorts of ways and we really value the wonderful friendships we have made all over the world.  Diolch!

But plenty of space for visitors at the bottom of the yard.  Normal arrival is after 4.30 pm but sometimes we are ready sooner – please ask.  Since Covid19 we need extra time for thorough cleaning between visitors.
