BOOKING CONDITIONS FOR BEDDGELERT HOUSE FURNISHED HOLIDAY LET

When you confirm your booking by the payment of a rental deposit (see below) you are entering into a short-term holiday letting contract between you, the Guest, and the Owner of the property and accept the following Booking Terms and Conditions. Please read the following carefully and ask for an explanation of any point that may be unclear to you. 

BOOKING FORM
The person making the booking must be over 25 years of age and certifies that he/she is authorised to agree and accept the Booking Conditions hereunder. They must ensure that details of all persons in the Guest’s party are advised to the Owner.  

PAYMENT/DEPOSIT
Upon making a booking 50% of the rental price is due. The balance of the rental price and relevant breakage deposit is due 4 weeks prior to commencement of the stay. The full rental price and relevant breakage deposit is payable at time of booking if the occupation date is less than 4 weeks from the date of booking. If the balance is not received, the Owner reserves the right to cancel the booking and the deposit paid by the Guest will be forfeited.  The prices stated are cash prices by either personal cheque, direct bank transfer or credit/debit card.

REFUNDABLE BRAKEAGE/HOUSEKEEPING DEPOSIT

A housekeeping security deposit of £150.00 is required. This will be refunded within 14 days following the end of the stay upon confirmation that there is no loss, breakages or damage to the property or breach of our booking terms and conditions. Any loss, damage or cleaning fee exceeding the security deposit amount must be fully reimbursed by the lead renter within 7 days of departure. If damage occurs to the Property as a result of the actions of Guests during the stay, where the extent of that damage is so severe that we (the owner) must cancel and/or refund subsequent bookings, we may bring a claim against the lead renter for any loss arising as a result, including the cost of refunding other guests affected by cancelled Bookings and any additional administrative fees incurred in respect of the same. 

CANCELLATION
We endeavour to be as fair as possible and in the event of a cancellation will, in most cases, refund all monies paid if we are able to re-let the property, less any re-advertising costs or discounts offered to attract a booking.  However, we do always recommend that guests take holiday travel insurance to cover the eventuality of cancellation.

SERVICES

The Owner cannot be held responsible for the failure or outages of public services such as water, electricity, etc. but we will always make every effort to see the failure is corrected as soon as possible. WIFI is offered as a free and complimentary service to our guests and we cannot hold any responsibility if there is a service failure and offer no financial compensation for unavailability. We have a fair usage policy and any excessive use will be charged back as per the service provider’s terms and conditions.

GUEST’S OBLIGATIONS

This is a non-smoking property and smoking is not permitted indoors under any circumstances.   Dogs and other pets are not permitted .  Please leave the house and it’s contents in the same state of repair and condition and in a clean and tidy condition as that in which you found it at the beginning of your stay.

Vehicles and property are left at your own risk
