Guests are not permitted to collect firewood in the woods or on the beach. Driftwood may contain salt that would damage the wood burning stove.

Garden furniture
All our holiday homes are equipped with garden furniture.
However, a sunshade, sunbeds and cushions are not standard equipment. These items may not be available at your holiday home.
Groups of young people
Unfortunately, Sommerhusudlejning Fyn often finds that renting holiday homes to groups of young people causes problems.
Some house owners are therefore unwilling to rent their holiday home to this guest category.
A group of young people is defined as more than three individuals under the age of 25.
If you are a group of young people, you must obtain Sommerhusudlejning Fyn’s prior consent to book a holiday home.
We reserve the right to refuse bookings from a group or groups of young people or to charge a higher deposit sum at the time of booking.
If you are a group of young people who have booked a holiday home without Sommerhusudlejning Fyn's consent, we reserve the right to refuse you accommodation.
High chair, cot
If the holiday home has a high chair and cot, this will be stated in the house description.
If you have rented a holiday home without a cot/high chair or if you need more than one high chair/cot, these items are available to rent from Sommerhusudlejning Fyn.
Home interiors and equipment
As standard, all holiday homes have a toilet, shower unit, cooker, refrigerator, coffee maker, vacuum cleaner, cot, high chair, radiators, free wireless internet and garden furniture.
Beds are provided with continental quilts, pillows and sometimes mattress covers.
Cutlery and kitchen utensils are provided for the number of people permitted to stay overnight at the house.

Jacuzzi (empty water after use)
When you rent a holiday home with a jacuzzi, Sommerhusudlejning Fyn ensures that the jacuzzi is thoroughly cleaned to eliminate bacteria between users.
When you use the jacuzzi, place one chlorine tablet into the water per person using the bath.

Jacuzzi (filled with water when you arrive, constant water circulation).

Outdoor spaces
Most holiday homes on Fyn are built on a natural plot, although some do have a lawn.
A natural plot is not a tidy garden. Nature will often have taken over to the extent that the plot may seem smaller than stated in the holiday home description.
Guests are not permitted to erect tents or use a caravan on the plot.
Payment
The rent is paid in two instalments.
- The first instalment is calculated as 25% of the rent. This is payable on booking the holiday home.
- The second instalment includes the deposit and is payable 60 days before the arrival date.
When you book less than 60 days before the arrival date, you must pay the full cost including deposit (if any) when you book.
Pests/insects
Most of our holiday homes are at rural locations, out in the countryside. There are likely to be more ants, flies and spiders here than you are accustomed to seeing if you live in a town.
If your holiday home is unusually infested with insects, please contact Sommerhusudlejning Fyn.
We will make every effort to help you.
Pets
Pets are welcome at some of our holiday homes.
If you rent a holiday home and intend to bring a pet, unless otherwise stated, you are permitted to bring one animal only.
Your dog may roam free on the plot.
If you take your dog for a walk outside the plot, you must keep him on a lead at all times.
Dogs must not climb onto furniture or beds. You must not leave your dog alone in the holiday home.
Please ensure that excrement is removed from the plot before you vacate the holiday home.
In Denmark, you can find “hundeskove” (dog parks) where you can allow your dog to roam off the lead.

Smoking
Smoking is strictly forbidden inside our holiday homes.
The penalty for smoking is DKK 2,500 plus compensation (if any) for loss of income if the house cannot be rented out in subsequent weeks.
Ash and stubs must be deposited in the zinc buckets provided.
Sauna
All our saunas have an electrical heater.
There are two dials/switches on the heater.
One is used to regulate the temperature. The normal sauna operating temperature range is 80-100 °C.
It takes about 30 minutes for the sauna to reach operating temperature.
The other dial is an on/off switch with a timer. You can switch the sauna on immediately or delay the heating process until later.
To start the sauna straight away, turn the dial as far as you can to the right and then back to step 1, 2 or 3 (the number of hours you wish the sauna to be switched on).
To delay the heating process, turn the button to step 4, 5 or 6 (indicates the number of hours’ delay until the sauna switches itself on).
Most saunas are not suitable for aromatherapy. Please ladle water carefully onto the sauna stones.
