1. Cleaning.
Cleanliness is incredibly important and plays a key part in the health and safety, satisfaction and overall experience of a guest’s holiday, and now more than ever, it is critical to reduce the risk of spreading infection. Together with our housekeeping company Lakelovers we are implementing the self-catering industry’s protocols for cleaning and disinfecting the cottage.
In a nutshell in addition to our normal rigorous cleaning regime:
• All touch surfaces e.g. light switches, door handles, keys, bannisters etc will be cleaned with a viricidal agent.
• All soft furnishings and mattresses will be sprayed with a viricidal agent.
• All mattress toppers and pillow protectors will be washed at a high temperature following every stay.
• Duvets and pillows will be changed and left fallow for a week between guest stays.
• There will be antibacterial hand sanitizer and extra soap in the cottage for your stay.
• All cleaners have been trained on the spread of the Covid virus. They will always be wearing full PPE. Gloves, hand sanitiser, shoe coverings and masks.
2. Check in Check out times
In order to facilitate the above cleaning regime you will not be able to check in until 5.00pm and we request that you check out by 9.00am. If you arrive early you are welcome to park in the visitor car park and go for a walk. If our cleaner has finished you are welcome to enter the cottage.
4. Removal of items from the cottage.
Many items in the cottage have presented us with a cross infection control problem. Many of these things are personal touches that we have added to make your stay in the cottage special so reluctantly we have had to temporarily put them into storage. These are as follows:
Toys and games
Books and magazines. We are leaving a few local guide books out we suggest you wipe them down with an antiseptic wipe both before and after you handle them.
