All properties are cleaned thoroughly between each let, and heightened cleaning with additional procedures are also carried out due to the Covid 19 situation. However, as only a limited period of time is available to clean properties, it is a condition of your let that you leave the property and its contents clean and tidy.

Instructions for this are in the guest folders located in each lodge.
