Laundry

Bedding (under sheet, over sheet, duvet and cased pillow) is provided for the holiday. Tea towels in the kitchen are also provided, however hand/bath towels are not.

Baby Facilities

Cot, bath and high chair can be provided free of charge, but owners must be notified when booking.

Electricity:

Electricity in France is 230volts with a round two pin socket. If bringing such utensils as hair dryers etc, please don't forget adapter plugs.
Please report any faulty equipment so it can be remedied immediately.

An amount of 500 units is included in the price due to the heating for low & mid season lets being mainly electrical. The meter will be read together at the start of the let & then at the end. For amounts exceeding the allowance there is a charge of 0.1€ per unit.

Gas:

Bottled gas is used for cooking facilities. The bottles will be full at the start of the holiday. If during your stay the bottle runs out, take the empty to the local supermarket where they can be replaced for full ones for approx £15.

Use of the cooker & how to change the bottles will be explained on arrival.

Wood:

For out of season lets the wood burner in the lounge can be used. Wood will be provided, cut to the right size at a cost of 40€/m3

Water:
This is suitable to drink from the tap.

Septic Tanks:
Not the nicest subject, but some necessary information must be highlighted. Due to being in the countryside the property is not on mains sewerage. Septic tanks work slightly differently in France. Each week a sachet of enzymes need to be placed down the toilet in order to digest the waste products. If the system is disrupted in any way it is very costly to rectify the problems. These enzymes are damaged by certain cleaning chemical therefore for anything you use look for the logo on packets 'convenient aux fosses septiques'. The enzymes cannot break down certain types of loo paper (especially the more luxurious products from the UK) so we will also provide an amount of suitable toilet tissue for your arrival. Please do not even bring English paper. Again once over here look for product advertised as 'convenient aux fosses septiques'. Finally please do not place feminine hygiene products, nappies or any such thing down the toilet as these will not only immediately block up pipe work, but also cannot be digested by the enzymes. Please use bins provided.

Health & Safety
On arrival please familiarise yourself with the accommodation. In side the property are a number of facilities that may not be as at your own home such as:
Low beams
Wooden stair case
Wood burner
Tiled floors, linoleum flooring
Small pond (chained off)
Glass panelled traditional doors as well as large glass windows
Therefore take extra care and remember children may be less careful than adults in new surroundings, so please take even more care with them. Certain items of furniture may not be fire resistant, so for your safety if smoking or using candles in the house use caution and always ensure cigarettes are extinguished fully when finished.
The area is quite rural, but still please look after your belongings & lock the doors when you go out.
