Interaction with guest

I live about an hour away from the croft, so the keys will be available to be collected when you arrive and you will be able to explore the house without a guided tour. There is an information booklet that gives details of how things work, I have tried to include everything I can think of without making it too much of a chore to read though, but if there are any questions I am available by phone anytime.
