This blog post introduces you to a video that I shot to answer the common question of “Do we have vacuum cleaners for guests?”. It’s also part of our You Ask, We Answer series, where we answer tons of FAQ’s and give you lots of information to help you get the most out of Suffolk.
At Woodfarm Barns & Barges, we understand that planning the perfect getaway involves many questions and uncertainties. To help you navigate through these and to ensure you have the best experience possible, we’ve launched our ‘You Ask, We Answer’ initiative. This approach isn’t just about promoting our Barns, Cottages and Barges; it’s about providing valuable information, solutions, and peace of mind to our prospective guests.
Anyway, this is the video, and the transcript is below it if you wish to go back over anything.
This is what I said…
Do We Provide Vacuum Cleaners? Absolutely!
A common question from our guests at Woodfarm Barns and Barges is whether we provide vacuum cleaners for personal use. While we take care of cleaning after your stay, we certainly appreciate guests keeping things tidy during their time with us. So, yes, we do have vacuum cleaners available.
Vacuum Cleaners for Every Property
Each of our Barges has its own vacuum cleaner onboard, so you can easily maintain the space if you wish. Over at our Barns, we keep our collection of vacuum cleaners in the bike shed (which I can see from where I’m sitting in Woodfarm House as I write this!). These aren’t just any vacuums—we use Harry Hoovers, designed specifically to be pet-friendly and efficient at picking up pet hair.
Meet the Harrys: Our Range of Pet-Friendly Vacuums
We have a fun selection of Harry Hoovers named after famous Harrys, including:
Harry Krishna
Prince Harry
Harry Potter
Harry Enfield
These vacuums are at your service if you’d like to keep your space looking fresh during your stay.
