Adapt this guide to your cottage

Willow Cottage is a fictional example with a parking space, a shared lane and a short route to the entrance. Use its sections as a starting point for a holiday cottage welcome book, then describe the actual route a first-time visitor will take.

  • Explain where guests may park and which shared routes must stay clear. Check the route in the light conditions guests are likely to encounter.
  • Replace the demo Wi-Fi details, TV steps and kitchen notes with information you have tested at the cottage.
  • Choose local recommendations you can maintain, and keep opening hours on the places’ own websites.
