The central heating is controlled via a thermostat located on the wall at the breakfast bar. To turn on the heating, ensure the dial is turned around to between 25-30°. Please bear in mind it may take a little time for the house to warm up.
If you find the heating hasn’t fired up, you can find the main boiler in the kitchen. Ensure this is switched on and not showing any errors. If none of the above is working, simply contact the team in the office and one of our Maintenance team can promptly attend.

Too toasty?! On the rare occasion that the city does see a spectacular summer’s day, we do also have a small number of fans available. Contact the office to request one but, please note, this is subject to availability.

All properties have a hairdryer to hand and we provide one set of towels per guest to save you some room in your suitcase!
As we’re self-serviced accommodation and not a hotel, daily housekeeping is not provided. However, if you are staying with us for more than seven days, someone will attend to turnover the house and restock your linen. This is will be pre-arranged with the team in the office.
A small number of toilet rolls and miniature toiletries are left to get you started on your first night. The Tesco Express on Dublin Road would be your closest location to stock up on supplies.

You’ll find two remotes in the lounge. Use the larger remote to access the usual Freeview channels.
But in addition to this, the TV has a connected ROKU box that is equipped with a number of streaming apps such as Netflix, Disney and BBC iPlayer. The smaller remote is what you need to access this service. Use your own account details to sign into these and we would just gently remind you to sign out before departing!
*If you forget, don’t worry - just contact the team in the office and we’ll have a member of staff head down and log you out.

You will find the washer dryer in the kitchen and the iron and ironing board in the lounge built-in storage cupboard. A small number of laundry capsules can be found below the kitchen sink.

The bedroom has a built-in cupboard where you can store away your luggage and you’ll find hanging space for those items you want to keep neat and tidy.
neat and tidy
The compact kitchen is always a hit with our guests. Here you’ll have everything you need to whip up a tasty, home-cooked meal or a warm breakfast on a cold winter’s day.
As we’re self-serviced accommodation, we provide utensils, cookware and crockery, but the cupboards and the fridge are left bare for you to stock with what you need. Take a seat at the breakfast bar or dining table and relax over your morning coffee before setting off for a full day of sights or shopping.
Ensure the cooker is switched on at the wall - the red fuse light will illuminate. The first two knobs operate the oven, the next four knobs operate the hob rings. Adjust accordingly for temperature.
Before you leave the house on the morning of your departure, we simply ask that you pop your crockery in the dishwasher and clean any pots and pans you might have used.

Although it can sometimes feel like it, we aren’t a hotel so some of our processes will be different. As daily Housekeeping isn’t a feature of self-serviced accommodation, it may be the case that you start to accumulate more rubbish than fits in your personal, indoor bins.
If that’s the case, we would kindly ask that you remove this to the larger outdoor bin to prevent any spillages or odours in-house. You’ll find this outside, at the bottom of the steps and it’s marked ‘35.’
Replacement bin-bags will be under the sink in the kitchen and we thank you for your kind co-operation.
