During check in I will demonstrate where the necessities are and how to use things like the shower, toilet brush and mirror light. I will also show where to find things like toilet wipes and feminine care disposal bags. Please remember to clean the toilet after use (especially if toilet bowl is soiled) and close the lid. To avoid accidents and as a courtesy to other guests using the bathroom, if the bathroom floor is wet after you’ve showered or had a bath, please dry the floor using the mop situated just outside the bathroom door. Please ensure you leave the bathroom clean by removing your hair from the sink and bath after each use.

Cutlery and crockery are provided (you will be shown where these items are for you to use). If you use the kitchen, you are expected to wash and tidy up after yourself and put the things you use away, leaving the kitchen clean and presentable for other users. SMOKING: No smoking or vaping allowed in the bedroom or any other part of the house. Smoking outside the house is permitted. Please do not smoke immediately outside the front door, as the fumes often comes back into the house through the open door. Can you dispose of smoking litter responsibly and not just disgard on the pavement or on the steps or area inside of gate, as the neighbours don’t like to see smoke litter discarded on the walkway. OTHER: Please conserve energy by unplugging all gadgets when not in use and not having lights on during the day. Can you also remember to turn lights off especially the bathroom mirror light and bedroom lights when going out or going to sleep for the night.

Please keep the bathroom clean and tidy outside of the housekeeper visits – especially if there are guests in the room next door. There is on street parking, but guests will have to purchase a permit (£12per day). Parking is free at weekends. Please let me know if you require a visitor parking permit, as advanced notice and vehicle registration is required at booking.
