Children/Babies
Parent’s and Carer’s make there own informed decision on weather Chapel
Apartments is a suitable venue for them. If you have any concerns that you feel
have not been answered here please call and ask or email.
There are no special baby items at Chapel Apartments. For example no cots, no
high chairs or other items. (sorry)
Children are not to play in the stair well. There are stained glass windows on
the stairs which are more than two hundred years old.
All three chapel apartments are open plan, which means children can easily enter
the kitchen area. You will need to make your own parental decision weather you
feel this is appropriate in your case.
There are electric storage heaters in the lounge/dinning area and radiators in
the bedrooms. They are not low temperature heaters. The surface temperature will
burn babies if they are left against them. (The risk is probably similar as if
you were at home). We do intend to get guards for the heaters in the
lounge/dinning area but have not done so yet, so please call to ask.
In apartment three the beams are mainly at high level but come down low in the
eves. This means that children can make contact with the beams around the outer
edge of the apartment. (ouch) (See pictures for Sanctuary Suite).
We have fitted thermostatic water mixers to prevent tap water temperature
exceeding approximately 50 degrees Celsius at all taps. We have also fitted
safety bars over windows to prevent children and adults from falling out of
windows.
The apartments are child safe with the exceptions as listed above.
Bathroom
There is one toilet inside the bathroom.
The bath is intended for children who are too young to use the shower. The bath
is 120cm or 46 inches (A small/short bath)
We would hope on the grounds of common courtesy that after 10pm you will be
expected to turn down music and TV to a level which allows other residence to
sleep unimpeded. Boisterous children also asked to calm down.
The ceiling height in Apartment one is 2.1 Meters
The ceiling height in Apartment two is 2.05 Meters
This may be a problem if any of your group are taller that 6.5 tall (six feet
five inches)

possible to make contact with these beams.
Chapel Apartments and its owner Gary Symonds accepts NO responsibility for
injuries of any magnitude arising from the making contact with the wooden beams
in Apartment 3.
