Dogs
• Dogs are accepted
by prior arrangement and details must be entered on the booking form.
• Dogs must not be left unattended in the
cottage unless by prior arrangement with St Just Holiday Cottages. If a dog is left unattended, the Owner reserves the right
to enter the property if they feel that a dog is in distress, it is proving a noise nuisance to neighbours or that damage
is being caused. Every attempt will be made to contact the owner in such a situation, and it is recommended that guests supply
a mobile number for such emergencies.
• Please bring your own throws and dog bedding. We do not have any restrictions
on where your dog goes, but any furniture MUST be covered if your dog is likely to go on furniture.
• If your dog
fouls in the garden, please remove, bag and place in the outside rubbish bin provided. • We
do not charge extra for dogs. Please respect the property and do not allow your dogs to damage furniture and fittings. Use
throws to cover furnishings and beds, and let us know immediately if there are any spillages on the carpet. If damage is caused,
a charge may be made. Our Guarantee
We take every care to ensure that
Lebanon Cottage is presented to a good standard so that you can enjoy your holiday. It is impossible to check every item and
every piece of equipment each week. If you encounter any problems with Lebanon Cottage, please let us know immediately during
your stay so that we can make every effort to resolve as quickly as possible and so that you can continue to enjoy your holiday.
COVID MEASURES AUGUST 2020This year we need to also give you information on our Covid 19 measures.
Key points are: Before arrival - We will phone you a few days before your arrival and
ask you the relevant Covid 19 questions that some of you may have heard many times before about your contact history. If you
are an area that is locked down you may not be able to travel so please let us know as soon as you can so that we can see
if we can get your week re-booked. We will confirm with you who is coming, that your party fits within the government guidelines
at the time regarding any bubbles, what linen that you require, etc.
- The cost of holiday insurance is not included
in any of our prices. You should seriously consider taking out holiday insurance for your holiday in case, at the last minute,
you are unable to make your booking.
Arriving and leaving - At the moment we are
working to arrival time of 5pm, leaving time of 10am. As usual, if we finish earlier we will let you know.
- We ask
you to remove all personal goods from the bathroom when you leave (shampoo, etc) and either take with you or dispose in the
rubbish / recycling. Same for the kitchen, remove any food, foil, cling film, condiments etc. We usually have some condiments
left in the cupboard, but for the moment anything left will be disposed of.
- For the time being, we will not be supplying
our usual welcome pack of a cream tea. That saddens me after 15 years, but it is just not possible at the moment. Sorry. That
may change as the season rolls on.
Bed and linen - Linen and personal towels are
provided (I will ask you about what you need when we call) but not beach towels, so if you wish to use towels on the beach
please bring your own. Tea towels, bath mat and hand towels are provided.
- You will need to strip all your beds and
put in to bags provided. The same for any towels and tea towels used. The reason for this is that stripping beds and the resulting
particle and air movement is one of the most risky parts of changeover. Once you have left, the cottage will be left to ‘settle'
for an hour then all of the linen will then be quarantined for 72 hours before we bring in to our house to wash, dry, iron,
and bag up and have ready for the next week.
- For your safety, we will have two full sets of duvets and pillows. The
full set will be removed each week, quarantined, replaced with the other set with fresh mattress and pillow covers.
- You
will have the option to bring your own linen / duvets / pillows / tea towels if you wish. Please let me know when I call.
I will supply a mattress cover for each bed which we ask is left on the bed, and we will change each week.
Dogs -
If you have dogs please bring a suitable amount of throws for the sofas and dog towels. I just won't have the ability
to launder everything in a 24 hour period, plus the danger of particles flying around. I also won't be able to lend you
anything like leads as we might normally do, but the pet shop in town, Clemos, is usually well stocked.
Equipment -
Crockery, dishes, etc will be slimmed down to a set of 5 rather than having spares as we will need to put everything each
week through a cycle in the dishwasher. Let me know if there is anything particularly you require.
- Some things in
the cottage will be removed. These will include the visitor book, leaflets, books, dvds and games.
Cleaning -
Apart from all our normal cleaning, all contact surfaces will be washed with soapy water and then sprayed with a suitable
compliant disinfectant. So a double clean. The spray may leave a white residue, but that's what it is there for, to protect.
What if you get sick? - One of the things the industry is cautious about is what if you get sick whilst
down here. The current advice is that you must return home.
- You will need you to tell us immediately, organise a test,
then if positive, leave as soon as you can. There is a sign as you enter the cottage explaining what to do.
- For people
arriving the next week, we will have a quarantine and deep clean schedule to follow. That may mean a holiday needs to be
delayed or postponed. That is out of our control unfortunately, but we will do everything we can to accommodate.
- If
you get sick and decide to stay in the cottage, you will be liable for the cost of your stay as we will need to refund the
people for the following weeks.
