What we are doing to protect you:
Hand Sanitizer
A hand sanitizer dispenser has been placed inside the front door for your convenience. Please use this on entering and returning to the property to help prevent outside contamination.
General Cleaning
All surfaces will be washed with soap and water and then disinfected as per government guidelines. Special attention will be paid to high contact surfaces; i.e. door handles, light switches etc.
Windows will be opened and remain open for as long as possible. (This virus doesn’t like fresh air).
All outside communal areas will be sprayed with disinfectant before your arrival, and then at regular intervals.
Kitchen
All crockery will be washed at high temperature or placed and washed in the main house and Annery Kiln dishwashers.
Unfortunately we have decided not to leave our normal welcome pack of Tea, coffee, sugar and milk
Due to high volume of waste and high risk of contamination.
Welcome pack booklets
Welcome booklets/ guides will be laminated or within plastic sleeves and removed from the property for cleaning and disinfecting after each visit.
Bedding, towels and cushions

These will be replaced with clean items which have been stored in a quarantined environment for a minimum of 1 week.

Decor

Could you all prepare for your swim within your cottages and return to your cottage to shower and change after.
