(it would help if you would kindly strip the beds of any used bed linen and leave this and used towels in the corridor )

Our housekeeping team only has limited window to prepare the house for future guests - so unfortunately we will have to levy a charge of £15/hr for any additional unexpected deep cleaning that is required as result excess grime, heavy use / marking or damage caused by guests., Please remember this is self-catering not a fully serviced hotel situation, we do provide a variety of cleaning products to get you started -these are under the kitchen sink and in the utility room for day to day use – if you finish a particular product please replace it – thank you

Paying for a booking with us constitutes acceptance of these terms. 

Apologies for such lengthy T&C’s  - but having used self-catering rentals ourselves we much prefer to get the ‘nitty gritty’ out in the open to start with! Abbey Croft is our home from home – we love it, respect it and hope that you will too
