April Cottage, 2 Providence Lane, Rothbury, Northumberland Outside Please put your rubbish into the black plastic bags provided under the sink, tie securely and put in the dustbin in the right hand compartment at the back of the parking space. We remove the rubbish at the end of your stay or weekly if you are staying longer. In dry spells or if you think they look dry please water the window boxes. Inside Please feel free to use the info file while you are at the cottage but if you could return literature or replace it we would be grateful. Central Heating Boiler is located in the boot and coats cupboard by the front door. It is a combi boiler and during the summer is set to hot water on demand. However if you feel cold of an evening you can select the heating and water setting. The instructions for the combi boiler (which is fairly straight-forward) are on top of the boiler. The house heats up very quickly but please remember to put the boiler back onto water only when you have got the temperature to what you require. The washing machine is a washer/dryer. It is easy to use but if you are using the dryer please do not try and dry the whole load at once for one thing you won't get on very well and for another you'll break the machine! The dishwasher is fairly self explanatory and detergent tablets are under the sink. Please don't put wooden utensils or black handled utensils and knives in the dishwasher. For economy it is probably best to run the washer only when full. The television channel for the video is Channel 8 or 9. Please only put toilet paper down the toilet and use the bin provided in the bathroom for sanitary products If you have a breakage whilst staying at the cottage, rather than worry about trying to replace the article yourselves we are quite happy for you to leave what you estimate to be the replacement value before you leave the cottage. On leaving the property please be ready to vacate by 10 am so that we can turn the house round for the next guests. If no-one has arrived at the cottage by the time you are ready to leave please lock up and post the key back through the letter box. There is a fire safety procedure and the cottage is fitted with smoke alarms with a dry powder extinguisher in the kitchen. Please act sensibly and switch off appliances before retiring for the night or going out in the day. There is a fire station in Rothbury so in the event that you have to dial 999 assistance should be fairly swift!
There is a cash machine at Barclays in Rothbury The nearest petrol and garage is 3 miles to the west at Thropton. Rothbury Garage on Townfoot does carry out some repairs. The Main Tourist information centre for the area is at Alnwick but there is a small TIC in the National Park office in Church House next to the Newcastle Hotel (currently this is at 4 Bridge St during renovations at Church House) Rothbury Police Station can be contacted on (01669) 620204 There is a Casualty / Accident and Emergency unit at Alnwick Infirmary (24/7) on South Road, Alnwick about 20 minutes drive from the cottage The nearest public telephone is on the High Street by the war memorial
