Electricity

The electricity is metered and is read just before you arrive and just before you leave, charging is at local supply rates. Three and four bedroom cottages have an energy monitoring display which enables guests to monitor their usage.

Electricity is used for heating the cottages due to the lack of availability of Gas or Oil as a heating source. 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.

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, but the table below shows typical usage by guests over the last year.
