Phone Reception:

Mobile phone reception is poor due to thickness of the walls and cladding. A signal can be gained outside of the property.

Bins:

There is a blue bin positioned opposite the apartment entrance and on the back boundary wall. Please use this for all rubbish and dog waste. Recycling can be left in the flat for collection by the cleaner on your departure or if you prefer, leave outside the apartment in a suitable bag and we will collect during your stay. Thank you.

Washing:

Unfortunately due to COVID restrictions we are unable to offer facilities for washing clothes. Feel free to use the washing line outside for damp or wet clothes or use the over heater airer provided.

Cleaning:

The property has been cleaned by a professionally trained COVID cleaner using anti-viral cleaning products and sprays. Following guidelines we have unfortunately had to remove some of the soft furnishings we would normally provide and for example we are not able to provide a hair dryer.
