Terms & Conditions

 

1. Once the holiday reservation has been confirmed the contract is between the person (hereinafter referred to as The Guest) making the booking who also agrees to be responsible for all other members of his or her party as listed on the booking form and the Owner of the holiday property (hereinafter referred to as The Owner).

 

2. Reservations will only be confirmed upon receipt of a deposit not less than 30% of the total holiday cost or the full amount if within 6 weeks of arrival.

 

3. Once payment has been received and confirmation issued, dates booked are non-transferable.  At the Owner's discretion a change of dates may be allowed and any monies paid credited to the new booking.  The total cost of the holiday may vary according to seasonal rates and a £40  admin fee may be deducted at the Owner's discretion.

 

4. Payment of the balance of the total cost of the holiday booking is due six weeks before the date on which the holiday is to commence.  Failure by the Guest to ensure that such payment reaches The Owner by this date may result in the cancellation of the holiday and forfeiture of any money previously paid.  A reminder will be sent by email prior to the balance being due.  In all cases where the balance remains outstanding 28 days prior to the arrival date, the booking will be cancelled without further notice and any money previously paid will be forfeited. 

 

5. The Guest undertakes to keep the premises and all furniture fixtures and fittings in or on the premises in the same state of repair and condition as at the commencement of the holiday and also undertakes to leave the premises in the same state of cleanliness and order as when they arrived.  The Owner of the property must be compensated by the Guest for any damage, breakages and excessive cleaning that may be required.  Prior to departure, the content of all waste bins must be sealed in the provided liners and transferred to outside wheelie bins, all cutlery, glasses, crockery and utensils washed up and ash from BBQs and wood burning appliances transferred to the ash bin outside.

 

6. The Owner of the property or his representative is to be allowed access to the property at any reasonable time whether occupied or not and at any time in the event of an emergency.

 

7. The number of persons using the holiday property is not to exceed the maximum number stated in the property description unless prior written approval has been given by The Owner.

​

8. If you find it necessary to cancel your holiday, this contract is legally binding and means that you will still be liable for the full cost of the holiday.  We therefore strongly recommend that you take out your own holiday insurance policy.  Any cancellation must be made in writing or by email and confirmation of receipt obtained from the owner.

 

9. In the event of you cancelling your holiday and you either have no insurance provision or the policy you have does not cover your reason for cancelling you must still pay the full cost of the holiday.  In such cases The Owner will make every effort to re-let the property for the period booked.  If successful a refund of monies paid will be made less an administration charge of £40 plus any other charges associated with the booking.  Where it is possible to re-let only some of the date, the refund will be pro-rata of the total rental less any balance due and the admin charge. 

 

10. Once the booking reservation has been confirmed The Guest and party members as listed on the booking form have the right to occupy the reserved property for a holiday within the meaning of Schedule 1 Paragraph 9 of the Housing Act 1988.

 

11. Should The Owner need to cancel your holiday, a full refund of monies paid will be offered but The Owner shall be under no other liability.  Should either The Owner or Guest be unable to fulfil this agreement  due to government imposed travel restrictions, the guest will be offered a full refund or alternative dates and all monies paid will be credited towards a new booking.  The total cost of a new booking may vary due to seasonal variation and annual increments.  The date any further payments fall due will be amended accordingly i.e. full balance within 6 weeks of the new arrival date.

 

12. If the Guest fails to observe any of the conditions or undertakes any kind of unruly drunken or anti-social behaviour then the Owner or his representative will have the right to enforce the Guest and other members of his party to vacate the property at once without any recompense. 

 

13. The Owner will not be liable to any person or member of a holiday booking for any personal injury, illness or death, loss, theft or damage to property however sustained or caused, nor for the loss or theft of money.  Guests must ensure the property is secure at any time it is left unoccupied.

14. Pets must not be left unattended in the property for more than four hours.  The Owner offers a free pet minding service subject to availability.  Any fouling of carpets must be reported to The Owner immediately to allow effective deep cleaning. Pets must not be allowed on beds or furniture without using your own or the provided covers.  It is the responsibility of pet owners to remove pet waste from all outside areas and dispose of in the receptacles provided.  The total number of pets at the property must not exceed the number agreed on your booking without prior agreement.  The guest will be liable for any damage caused by pets during their stay.

​

15. The Owner cannot accept responsibility for any lack of information concerning the property and guests are encouraged to request any information they may require prior to booking.  Information and photographs are provided accurately at the time of going to press, however facilities or physical attributes may be altered or withdrawn for reasons outside of The Owners control and in this event The Owner cannot accept liability.
