Our New Haier American Fridge-Freezer

Posted on 23/09/2021 by admin

After many years of service we have retired our fridge and freezer and replaced them with a more efficient Haier American fridge-freezer with the latest technology.

We chose this particular model as it has 337 litres of fridge space and 177 litres of freezer space which should be ample for the groups and families we regularly accommodate. We have adjusted the shelves so that it will store both cans and bottles of your favourite Prosecco and white wines, along with all the other essentials.

Dedicated Site For Holiday Home Owners

As owners of a self-catering holiday cottage in the heart of Sherwood Forest, we identified the need for a forum where holiday home owners could share their experiences and knowledge, and ask questions openly about anything to do with the successful running of their business.

We came to the conclusion that the best place for this would be Facebook and so we went ahead and created a fan page and subsequently a closed group.

The fan page is visible to anyone and can be used to promote your holiday home completely free of charge, whilst the closed group is specifically for owners wanting to engage in direct conversation with other owners.
