Electricity

The cost of electricity up to a maximum of 3.5% of the total cost of your holiday is included e.g. if your holiday costs £1000 then electricity usage up to £35 is included. It is difficult to estimate the total amount of electricity guests will use during their stay due to the effects of external temperature, individual preference and use of appliances, however the table below shows typical usage by guests over the last year.

 
Typical Usage

2 bedroom - £14/week
3 Bedroom - £20/week

Electricity is used for cooking and heating in the cottages. A combination of night storage heating and limited duration use of convection heating is more than adequate to create a very warm temperature within the cottage even when the weather is below freezing outside.

Electricity is metered and is read just before you arrive and just before you leave, charging is at local supply rates. All cottages have an energy monitor display which enables guests to monitor their electricity usage. As part of our overall green policy we believe it is important that guests understand their use of electricity (and thus its effect on the environment) and those that keep within the 3.5% of the cottage rental cost (the majority of guests) benefit from no payment. Those that leave heating full on and then leave windows and doors open will more than likely incur a charge!

You will be given the bill at about 9am on the day you leave or earlier if you request. We accept cash, cheques and most credit cards (not American Express and Diners Card). If you are intending to leave early or on a different day than booked pleased let us know in good time so that we can arrange for a mutually convenient time to read the meter
