Holiday Property Information
ACCOMMODATION
All our property owners are advised of our standard of cleanliness, furniture and equipment and each property is inspected by our Property Managers at least once a year. Properties are thoroughly cleaned at each changeover.
EVERY COTTAGE CONTAINS
At least one Colour TV unless otherwise stated and sufficient furnishings and equipment for a self-catering holiday. Items such as fridge, cooking utensils, duvets or blankets and pillows will always be included to support the comfort of the persons for which it is intended, as shown in the brochure. Utensils are supplied for all normal needs and lawned gardens are maintained where applicable.
ELECTRICITY AND /OR GAS

CENTRAL HEATING
Where mentioned in the property details, is available from the beginning of October to 15th May. A gas & /or electric fire is provided for the rest of the year.
LINEN
Most properties are equipped with bed linen, sheets and pillow cases. Where this facility is available it is stated within the property description. As a general rule towels of any description are not provided and you should bring your own supply with you. No sleeping bags allowed. Linen and blankets for cots are not supplied and should be brought by visitors.
COTS
If mentioned in the individual property details cots are included in the rental unless stated otherwise. Please bring your own cot linen.
HEATING & BED LINEN CHARGES
Where provided by the owner as a chargeable service, must be paid direct to the owner or their representative on arrival (Unless otherwise stated).
PETS
In response to demand, many property owners allow visitors to bring their pets. These properties are clearly identified in the brochure details. Where they are allowed there is an extra charge of £20 per week or short break. In making this service available we are relying on you to respond by keeping your pet under strict control at all times. Please bring your own pet basket and do not allow your pet on the furniture or beds. A pet must not be left unattended in the hired property at any time. Hirers will be liable for any damage caused by pets.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION & LOCATION
We have endeavoured to describe and detail each property, its facilities and surroundings as accurately as possible. All distances quoted are approximate. Within the limited space, we have provided as much information as possible but should you require additional information please do not hesitate to contact us. Unless otherwise stated, all holidays start and finish on a Saturday. Please note that holiday resorts can be noisy at times.
COUNTRY STONE COTTAGES
Many of our delightful properties are over 100 years old, and built before the days of damp courses, insulation, easy stair gradients and will, on occasion, have reduced height doorways and beams etc. Although we inspect our properties very carefully, it is natural and understandable that these properties may occasionally be prone to humidity effect. Another contributing factor is the warm, moist Cornish and Welsh climate which can sometimes cause condensation. Ventilation, by leaving some windows open can help alleviate this problem. We would advise against bringing elderly or asthmatic people to these older "character" type properties especially out of season. Countryside activity and animals can be noisy and smelly at times. If you are used to town living - be warned!
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS/ ASSISTANCE DOGS
Powells Cottage Holidays are not a specialist provider of holidays for the disabled, but we are committed into making all properties as inclusive as possible for all of our guests. Please discuss any special requirements (such as access statements) with our sales team at the time of booking. This will ensure that we can provide the most suitable property and make your holiday as enjoyable as possible. Under the new Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) it requires property owners who operate a ‘No Dogs' policy where assistance dogs are concerned.
