Dressing gowns
I've been recommended that I offer guests the use of dressing gowns / bath robes at my UK holiday let.
Can anyone recommend some that look good quality / luxurious and where to buy them from?
I am loathe to buy cotton towelling ones dues to how long they take to dry after washing. I've seen thinner cotton waffle ones and also microfibre ones. Any advice?

King of Cotton Waffle ones (I imagine OOE are similar) They're great - very popular and they do make the room look good. NB they are super easy to launder yourself but I find laundry services charge a lot. I think they have a set price that assumes towelling robes. Worth considering!
Greenbarn what happens with the slippers? Can you wash them?

Waffle gowns
Thank you for the feedback. Will opt for the waffle ones!
No, they’re disposable (we encourage guests to take them if they’ve used them - they actually last a fair time even if grubby). However we were talking recently with Out of Eden (they’re local to us) and they're looking into producing some that could be washed and re-used several times. Apparently the problem with the way these are made currently is that the sole is basically a piece of card - not widely recognised for its resistance to washing!Martha wrote:

I would always look at XL for the size same for both M & F this also helps with same sex reservations and keeps the purchasing easy
a while back friends of ours bought for their accommodation kimono's rather than the standard dressing gowns as so far they are working well and guests love them and also like to lounge around in them
at the moment i don't supply robes in my accommodation purely on a cost level however i do like them

When it comes to wine, I tell people to invest in a good corkscrew. The best way to learn about wine is the drinking
The truth is the best German wine remains in Germany

We supply organic cotton waffel weave slippers and bath robes purchased from cotonea.de ...have been in use for 6 years and still look good. I purchased them in a dark blue. The slippers and robes are washed at 60 degrees and ironed so I am assuming that this kills germs......guests really appreciate them, so we feel it was a worthwhile investment
