A Smoke-Free Cottage

Smoking is not permitted inside the cottage. If you smoke outside, please dispose of cigarette butts safely and responsibly.

Our Thatched Roof

As beautiful as the thatch is, it requires a little extra care. Please do not use candles, incense or any other open flames inside the cottage.

Pool & Jacuzzi

Please enjoy the pool and jacuzzi responsibly and follow the safety guidelines provided.

Security

Please lock the doors and windows whenever you leave the cottage and take care of the keys/remotes provided.

If you notice anything that needs attention, please let us know. We would much rather fix a small problem during your stay than have you worry about it.

Save Water & Energy

We appreciate your help in conserving water and electricity. Please switch off lights, fans, heaters and appliances when you are not using them.

Before You Leave

We don’t expect you to clean the cottage from top to bottom! We simply ask that you leave it reasonably tidy, switch off appliances and lights, close the windows and doors, and place rubbish in the designated bin.
