Hello all
We are setting up a 3 bedroom cottage in the north of Scotland for families and groups to visit. We'll have 2x 3' bunks in Bedroom 3, and ziplink twins/doubles in Bedrooms 1 and 2.
Can I keep my spare bedding in under bed storage drawers, or is that asking for trouble? We do have some storage, but not ample.
All thoughts and advice very much appreciated.

Storage
I wouldn't leave my spare bedding for people to help themselves. We bought a large metal trunk with a lock and store all spare bedding in there. Over winter when the house is not occupied it also serves to keep everything very dry and dust free.
I do however leave one set of single bedding in a drawer just in case little ones have an accident in the night.

We have spare towels and bedding stored in drawers under beds in one of our houses - like you, we're short of storage space. In over 13 years it hasn't been a problem. In fact, occaisionally it's been quite useful when the cleaners forgot to put enough towels out and we could tell guests where to find them.

Under bed storage
In addition to my post above I 've remembered that we keep bedding for our clic clac sofa bed in the space under this sofa and as far as I am aware no one has found or tampered with that. So probably bedding kept under divan style beds will be fine.
