COTTAGE KITCHEN EQUIPMENT
As we wash all of our cottages kitchen equipment between guests (even if it is clean) we have reduced the quantity of some kitchen items - small wine glasses, toast racks, butter dishes, cafetieres, water jugs and stock pots have been removed. These items we feel are the least used anyway so they won’t necessary be missed. However, if you require any of these items during your stay please ask.

ADDITIONAL CLEANING PROCEDURES
All our cottages are fully sanitised before each let and additional cleaning procedures are in place. This means that cleaning our cottages takes longer than usual.
To assist us with our cleaning, we politely ask that where possible you maintain the cleanliness of the property during your stay.
Any further information you may require during your stay will be in the blue folder situated in the cottage living room.
Thank you in advance for your co-operation.
We are more than happy to try and assist with any guest requirements, and we look forward to welcoming you to Dickinson Place soon.
