Welcome to Tower Cottage - enjoy your stay

---

I’m thrilled you’ve chosen my little holiday cottage for your trip. I’d like to wish you a relaxing stay. I hope you love the cottage as much as I do and find everything you need. I‘m close by if you need a hand. You can give me a quick buzz or WhatsApp on +44 7385 610005.

Check-in is 4pm

Check-out is 10am

We have a key box and will send the code the day you arrive when the cottage is ready for you. 

We are flexible when we can be on checking in and out. Message us if you’re looking to arrive early or leave a little later.

We’d appreciate a post on your socials and a review on Facebook or Google.

You can also follow us on Instagram @tower_cottage_halifax or give us a like on Tower Cottage on Facebook. 

I know no one likes rules – but I want you and future guests to have a good time at Tower Cottage, so please respect the following:

• Only registered guests – the cottage comfortably sleeps 4. Please don’t invite any extra guests to stay who are not on your booking.
• Do the dishes & keep tidy, leave the house as you found it.
• Be mindful of the neighbours and keep noise to a minimum after 10pm. 
• No smoking or vaping.
• Save the environment: turn off the lights when you’re out. 
• If you need more towels, linens or blankets drop me a text.
• Turn the heating down / off. Especially when you’re out.
• No Pets – we’re a fuzz free place.
• Lost key FEE – In the unlikely event you lose the key please contact me ASAP. There is a fee of £20 for a lost key to pay for replacements keys and locks.

WI-FI PASSWORD

• The code is on the back of the hub.

MIND YOUR STEP

• There is a lovely area at the top of the garden in the sunshine. Be careful walking to the top. The steps are steep and uneven. We take no responsibility for trips and falls. 
• Watch children inside the cottage and in the garden. 
• Be extra vigilant if you use the garden at night. You can use the torch hung by the back door.

LAUNDRY & IRONING

• The washing machine is in the kitchen and an iron under the sink. The ironing board and horse are behind the roller door. 

RECYCLING

• Use the marked bin provided.

FIRE SAFETY

• The house has a heat detector (in the kitchen) and smoke detectors throughout.
  There is a carbon monoxide detector outside the bathroom.
• There is a fire blanket in the kitchen and a fire extinguisher at the bottom of the stairs.
• Please also take note of the FIRE ACTION NOTICES.
• DO NOT light any candles or smoke.

ELECTRIC AND GAS

• The fuse board is in the cellar. If anything trips push in the breakers to get it going again.
• If you need to turn off the gas or electric the shut off value and mains switch are in the cellar.
• Be careful if you go down the cellar steps – it’s an old house they are a little steep.

HEATING & WATER

• If you need to switch off the water, the stop cock is under the far corner cupboard in the kitchen.
• The main heating control is in the lounge. Use the buttons to adjust the heating up or down - press ok to fix the new temperature. 
• It’s on AUTO and the heating will come on to instantly to warm up the house at a variety of times during the day and night. 
• With 150-year old thick walls the house stays really warm in the winter and cool in summer.
• DO NOT switch the heating to manual. The house gets too hot 🥵

SUPERMARKET

• The closest supermarket is Tesco on Achen Way.
• Sainsburys local on Rochdale Road is 2 mins drive.
• There is a cash machine at both of these.

BUSSES AND TRAINS

• There is a bus stop with buses into town 100m up Scarr Bottom Road.
• The train station to Manchester, Halifax and Leeds is down in Sowerby Bridge.

There is parking up and down the street. The best place is on the end of the row on the opposite side of the road. You don’t need a permit. 

Unfortunately because the cottage is 150 years old we don’t have electric charging.
