If you encounter any issues with the internet, we would kindly ask that you contact the team in the office so they can investigate further.

The central heating is controlled via an EPH thermostat usually found on the shelving unit between the kitchen and the lounge. To turn on the heating, open up the front panel of the device and press ‘MAN’ to switch on. You can adjust the desired goal temperature with the arrow keys. Press ‘OFF’ to turn off. Please bear in mind it may take a little time for the house to warm up and remember to turn this off when you’re leaving or going to bed.
If you find the heating hasn’t fired up, you can find the main boiler in the hallway cupboard. 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 Superstore located on the Lisburn Road would be your closest location to stock up on supplies.
freshen up
Please relax and make yourself at home in our comfy lounge. The TV is equipped with a number of streaming apps such as Netflix and BBC iPlayer. 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.
Depending on the make-up of your group, you may also need to use the sofa bed in the evenings. We’ve pulled together a quick video tutorial to show you exactly how this operates so you can get settled down with no stress! You’ll find the linen for this within the sofa bed itself.

You will find the washing machine in the kitchen and the iron and ironing board in the hallway cupboard. A small number of laundry capsules can be found below the kitchen sink.

Our main bedrooms have clothing rails where you’ll find hanging space for those items you want to keep neat and tidy.
neat and tidy
The spacious, private 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 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. Adjust knobs for temperature and function to use the oven accordingly. On the hob, remember to press and hold ignition switch as well as turning the desired ring dial.
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 bins to prevent any spillages or odours in-house. You’ll find these in the fenced-in area on the far left-hand side of the car park as you exit the building.
Replacement bin-bags will be under the sink in the kitchen and we thank you for your kind co-operation.
