Booking Form & Information

1.	TENANTS must agree to take good care of the property, to leave it clean and tidy and to replace any breakages. This is the main condition of acceptance of any booking. We take a £75 good housekeeping deposit, which we don't bank, against inventory and cleaning. This is destroyed after the holiday (unless otherwise stated) if all is satisfactory. In the event of extra cleaning or items to replace we will inform you immediately, bank your cheque and return any balance you are due.
2.	ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE - In order that property can be thoroughly inspected and prepared between lets, holidays commence at 4.00 pm on arrival day and terminate at 10.00 am on departure day. Weekly lets are normally from Saturday to Saturday, short breaks are either Friday to Monday or Monday to Friday.
3. 4.	BOOKINGS Bookings are confirmed when a deposit of £100 per week or part week is received together with a fully completed booking form. The balance of the rent and good housekeeping deposit is due six weeks before the commencement of the holiday. If you cancel your booking or we do not receive your balance by the due date, we may assume you have cancelled your booking and will seek to re-let the property. If we are unable to re-let the property you will be held responsible for the balance of the rent due. If we are able to re-let the property, a £25 administration charge will be deducted from your deposit before any refund is made. Once a booking is confirmed by ourselves a contract is then deemed to be formed between the hirer and ourselves. If you book within 6 weeks of your holiday the whole rental is required as a condition of booking. CANCELLATION - We do not provide cancellation cover. You are liable for the payment of the full rental on cancellation. However, should you need to cancel your holiday for any reason, then please contact us immediately and we will attempt to re-let the cottage, at a discount if necessary. If successful we will normally return the balance of the rental to you less an administration charge of £25.
5.	OCCUPANCY - The property is offered only on the understanding that no more than the maximum number of people indicated on the website or in the brochure shall use it. We reserve the right to refuse, curtail or levy additional charges for any booking which appears not to meet this requirement.

10.	LIABILITY - No liability is accepted in respect of loss or damage to the client or any member of the party, their baggage, car or contents resulting from riot, war, strikes, adverse weather conditions or sickness or injury or for loss or damage by a third party.
11.	COMPLAINTS - We truly hope that you will never need to complain but if there are reasonable grounds for complaint about our cottage you must inform us immediately so that appropriate action can be taken. No such matters can be dealt with after completion of your holiday.
12.	ACCESS - The property owner or their representative shall be allowed access to the holiday accommodation at any reasonable time for essential maintenance. Wherever possible this would be by prior arrangement.
13.	CANCELLATION BY OURSELVES - In the unlikely event that your holiday accommodation becomes unavailable due to reasons beyond our control we will inform you immediately and offer alternate weeks or a refund of all monies paid. We accept no other liability if cancellation due to reasons beyond our control occurs.
14.	These booking conditions supersede all previous issues.

16.	ALTERATIONS to Website and/or brochure: We believe the information to be honest and accurate, but reserve the right to alter the details at any time. However, we will always endeavour to inform you of any changes at the time of booking.
