Please read the following carefully and ask for an explanation of any point that may be unclear to you.

The person making the booking must be over 18 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.  Any provisional booking made by telephone or email will be kept for 5 days to allow for return of deposit payment. If payment is not received by then the booking is treated as cancelled.

Upon making a booking 50% of the rental price is due. The balance of the rental price and relevant breakage deposit is due 6 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 6 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 or direct bank transfer. Charges may apply for credit card payments made via Paypal which must be met by the guest.

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 will be fully reimbursed by the lead renter within 7 days of departure.

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 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. Cleaning equipment and materials are provided. You are required to leave the wood burning stove , oven and cooking utensils in a clean condition.

Vehicles and property are left at your own risk

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF GUESTS You must not sublet or share the property with anyone not nominated at the time of booking.

We will treat any of these circumstances as a cancellation of the booking. We reserve the right to make further charges in the event of damage to the facilities caused by excessive usage, or charge made per additional person per night.
