• Not allowing them to go on the furniture or upstairs.
• Not leaving them unattended in the cottage
• That you clean up behind them both inside and out, so no trace remains.
• Please let me know about any damage or breakages, as soon as possible. We do understand about life's little accidents, but ultimately you are responsible for the property and its contents during the period of your stay. We will always try to put things right with the least cost and inconvenience to you.
• Arrival time is 4pm, unless other wise arranged - through to a prompt departure time of 10am, please! This is crucial for me to get the cleaning done!
• The cottages are thoroughly cleaned between lets, but because time is so limited, we ask, as part of this booking agreement, that you leave your cottage as clean and tidy as possible. This is always greatly appreciated!
