Hi Oak and Broad! That's just it, it didn't say what brand only that it was brushed natural oiled finish. The Pamphlet states special cleaning with intensive wood cleaner and to use Maintenance Oil (natural or white) the white apparently gives a limed appearance. The Manufacture of the wood is Natures Own European Oak. It doesn't look as though it is brushed either, it looks dipped in possibly a wax oil the finish as it is oiled back and front and there are certain parts in the wood that does not look to be oiled especially in some knots. Which is why I don't really want to leave it especially a whole year before re-oiling. I have enclosed a couple of pics but I really don't know what information you will be able to see apart from its a dull finish Thank you for any guidance you can give. As you can see it's still a work in progress and the skirtings and kick-boards need to go on to cover the expansion gaps surrounding the walls and appliance cubbys

We do have a Steptoe's up here not far from us but it's (dare I say it) wretched! Dark, not clean, badly organised. The one near you, though, AMAZING! We go down every year and take two big cars (we have a Picasso and our friends who live in Devon have a Forester), lol, fill them to the brim every year:) Last year we ended up shipping a lot of it back to Scotland as otherwise we wouldn't have got us, the luggage, and the Roo in to go home!

Hi Karen, as the room is a fab 12 metres long, we think it would really lend itself to wood flooring with you being able to get long rows of planks down the length. The style of the space too, with the bare stone and cosy atmosphere will work with the traditional feel of wood flooring. And of course, wood is a lot more hygienic than carpet for a dining area. We suggest going for an antique-style floor with lots of character in a warm tone. Here are some ideas below and we hope it all goes well for you.
