Sofa Bed
To use the Sofa bed (if booked), please unzip the sections at the back of the sofa and gently pull out the legs, you will then need to push the back of the sofa forward which automatically releases the sofa so it can be pulled backwards to a flat position, please be gentle.
Please make sure the legs are securely positioned on the floor.
To turn the bed back into a sofa, gently lift the back and push forwards until it clicks into the upright position, then fold the legs and zip them into the back of the sofa.
The bedding consisting of sleeping bags, and pillows is in the wardrobe in the single bedroom.
Bathroom
All towels are provided and there is a hand-held shower in the bath. Due to the sloping ceiling we can’t fix the shower to the wall – the charm of a quirky cottage 😊
Bedroom
All bedding is provided and we ask that you strip the bed of the items that you have used before leaving and place in the laundry bag which can be found in the wardrobe, but please leave all the protectors in place.
Towels
We have provided one set of towels per guest to use inside the property. When you depart, please place any used towels inside the bathtub. If you should go to the beach, we request that you don’t take these towels with you.

Smoking is not allowed in the property and will set off the smoke alarm. Also, the smell of smoke can remain in the property for weeks. Please do not smoke inside the property, but feel free to smoke outside away from the front door, and the other cottages.
Parking
Unrestricted parking is available at owners own risk. Please park in the space allocated for Cottage 81a, Lavender Cottage. There is only one parking space per cottage, so if you have more than one car, or have visitors, please park these cars on the road.
Heating
The heating thermostat is on the wall near the front door and will come on automatically in the morning and go off in the evening, if you wish to turn the heating up then please adjust the thermostat, when you go out, please can you turn the heating down, thank you.
Rubbish
The bins are in the kitchen cupboard next to the oven, for trash and recycling – please see inside bin lid for which side is which.

Turn the dishwasher on and press start as early as you can before you leave.
Please leave all used towels in the bath, strip the bed and leave the bedding, in the laundry bag, which you will find inside the wardrobe. We have quite a few cottages so stripping the beds really helps us timewise and we really appreciate it.
