DEPARTURE:

By 10 a.m. on departure day, since the cleaning team needs time to perform its work. If nobody has rented your cottage that afternoon, you are welcome to stay until noon time. Call us about that during the week prior to your arrival.

That responsibility is yours during your stay and we supply some useful items to do so. It is very much appreciated that you leave the cottage as clean as possible after your stay. Please put all dirty dishes in the dishwasher before leaving.

Depending on use and number of guests, you might want to bring some additional material  with you or buy it at the grocery store nearby. Please put all trash in plastic bags and place them in outdoor green containers so that small animals don't tear into them. Each house has also a special container for recycling.

It is our pleasure to provide you with firewood free of charge. Considering this is not the case elsewhere, we ask you to make reasonable use of it for evening fires. Kindling, paper to start your fire and matches may not be in your house. If not, it is available at the grocery store nearby. If the client before you has left some of it, please use it. It would be very much appreciated by the client following you if you would leave something equivalent.
