ABOUT THE ACCOMMODATION
APPLIANCE INSTRUCTIONS / INFORMATION
AIR CONDITIONING
Our home has the benefit of air conditioning. Every bedroom has its own AC unit easily handled by remote controls that are located on the bedside tables. Please ensure that all windows and outside doors are closed whilst the AC is running to ensure it operate to maximum efficiency. We recommend a setting of [72F / 22C] which we find keeps the place sufficiently cool. Please acknowledge that operating AC units in lower temperatures for many hours continuously will damage the units causing expensive repairing costs as well as not being able to enjoy it until a specified technician fixes it. That could take more than a day.

You can use the AC units to warm efficiently every room.
