Practicalities

1. Practicalities

Frances Curtin, the welcoming and efficient manageress, Jenny Beany, her deputy, and their team of ladies, keep the holiday cottages up to a stately home standard of gleaming cleanliness. That is why we ask guests to leave promptly at 10 a.m. on their day of departure, and to arrive no earlier than 4 p.m. It takes us a good six hours to clean the holiday cottages so that they are immaculate enough for our guests.

2. Comestibles

We have two chefs, Ken and Emma, who make a range of frozen foods which the serious holidaymaker (vegetarians too) might wish to order -  curry, shepherd's pie, lasagnas, baked chocolate and raspberry tart to mention but a few of the possibilities.
On arrival, there is a generous welcome basket to tide you over - a bottle of champagne, eggs, milk, orange juice, biscuits, tea, coffee, sugar, breakfast cereal, chocolates, cheese, home-made bread, cake, marmalade and jam. Groceries pre-ordered from the list sent out with the booking form will also be in your holiday cottage when you arrive. Aromatherapy Associates' soap and toiletries, lavatory paper, and cleaning materials are provided.
