Regarding the accommodation

Toilet PLS do not flush away any other items, limit fats and oils down the drain and as we have one tank and request guests to please use water carefully.
Open fire place – there is kindling either in basket alongside or in hall cupboard. Wood is located under house .
Gas BBQ – When using the BBQ , please gently roll BBQ outside onto the deck!
To operate, open the main valve on the gas bottle fully by turning
anti-clockwise, then to light the BBQ burners, lightly push in the right hand side knob and turn anti-clockwise to High setting. Then to light the left hand side burner, lightly push and turn the left hand knob anti-clockwise.
Warning – Never leave the 2 burners on high at the same time with the lid closed.
When finished with the BBQ , please turn off both knobs clockwise and shut off the valve on the gas bottle fully by turning clockwise. Please clean after use – the grill plates can be lifted out, use paper towel off excess residue (limiting fats into septic system) then dissolve with hot water / detergent at kitchen sink..
Open Fire Place - Generally 2 split logs will burn for approximately 1 ½ hours - kindling use ¼ of a bag along with rolled newspaper (in firebox or in kitchen draw) as the starter. Extra wood supply is in hallway cupboard/under house. Please use the metal screen at all times to secure burning firewood , hot embers and hot ash from escaping.
Only use the wooden screen as an insect screen when the fire place is not in use.Please wrap used ash (following day) in newspaper and dispose of in the rubbish bin – ensure ash is cold
Gas supply – The gas to this property is supplied by 2 LPG gas tanks, these tanks are located outside the rear sliding door at the side of the house. The gas runs from 1 tank only, should you find the stove top or oven isn’t lighting, it is most likely that the tank supplying the gas is empty. To remedy this, there is a small lever / valve behind the 2 tanks which are covered by a weather protector, simply flick the lever to the other side and this will then allow the gas from the full tank to continue the gas supply.

dial on side to choose your setting – When not using would you please ensure the dials are returned back to 0/off and that the appliance is switched off at the wall.
