We will edit this page remotely so that it applies to the particular group using the cottage.

Close all the windows. Leave all the internal doors open.
Strip the beds. Put all the bed linen and towels you have used in the bath.
Turn off all the storage heaters and their supplementary convector heaters. In winter leave the storage heater in the lounge on low.
In winter, leave the bathroom heater on its "frost" setting, indicated by the snowflake icon.
If you have used the wood burners re-lay them with paper and kindling ready for the next visitors.
Make sure everything electrical in the hide-away is off and lock the door.
If using the dish washer start it well in advance so that it completes its cycle before you leave; the "quick wash" setting is best for this.
Empty the fridge of perishable food.
Take any vegetable waste to the compost bin, near the top of the garden above the "slow worm" patio.
Take other rubbish to the wheelie bin at the bottom of the hill, near the greenhouses.
Lock the outer doors, remembering the back door at the top of the stairs.
Leave the main bunch of house keys where you found them.
In winter, turn off the water at the stop cock in the cupboard under the sink.
Ensure the single key on the Dolwyddelan Castle keyring is returned to the key safe.
