  6. Emergency Contacts: Make note of local emergency numbers and keep a list of important contacts, including The Quoys of Houton's staff, for any assistance you may require during your stay.

  7. Stay Informed: Familiarize yourself with the nearest medical facilities and know the cottage's address in case you need to communicate it in an emergency.
