To heat the oven, turn the selector switch to the required function. The control panel illumination and oven light will remain on. Then turn the oven temperature control to the required temperature.

Select the cooking method by turning the control knob to select the required grill setting. The interior light will come on and the grill is ready to use.
For grilling and toasting use full-width grill setting, the half grill is suitable for small quantities of food as only the inner part of the grill will heat up. Once you have chosen the required setting, the indicator will light and remain on until the required internal temperature is reached. The indicator will go on and off throughout cooking although the grill remains on. To turn the grill off turn the selector switch to position 0.
For gas grills, follow the procedure for gas ovens using the grill selector.

Devon Hills is a wonderful place for you to holiday with your dogs.
In order to ensure the enjoyment of everyone we would ask that you adhere to the following:
Keep your dog on a lead
You must keep your dog on a lead at all times when walking through the park and woodlands. This applies to all dogs irrespective of how well trained they are!
Do not allow your dog to foul indiscriminately
Please ensure you always pick up any deposits left by your dog and place in the appropriate bins.
Dogs are not permitted in the following areas:
Do not allow your dog to be a nuisance
We would ask that dogs do not sit on the furniture or the beds. Dogs should only be left alone in the accommodation if you are sure that they will not bark to the point of annoying other customers or cause any damage to the lodge.
PLEASE NOTE: Pets are NOT allowed in our non-pet-friendly lodges. There is an additional deep clean charge of £350.00 if it is found that a pet has been in the holiday lodge.
Your security deposit is taken through the booking system and will be returned to you 10 days after departure. We will ring-fence just £1 to help you manage your money. By doing this your bank has pre-authorised Haulfryn to debit your account £250.00 should we see fit. Rest assured no monies were taken at check-in although it may affect your account balance; this is our security deposit.
Within 24hrs of check-out, this holiday home shall be checked by a member of Haulfryn staff; if you leave the holiday home in the condition you found it then Haulfryn shall not claim the security deposit. If there are any damages, breakages, or missing items above the normal wear & tear of a holidaymaker, then Haulfryn shall claim the £250.00 security deposit you have authorised. Should Haulfryn feel it necessary to claim the security deposit post-check-out, you shall be notified as soon as possible as to the reason.
