Terms & Conditions
booking process
All booking requests will be treated as provisional and not confirmed until payment has been received. The prices quoted on the rate card are for 2020/2021. A deposit of 50% of the cost of renting the Property is required on booking and the balance is due 12 weeks before the first day of arrival.
If the balance payment does not reach us by the due date, then we reserve the right to cancel and re-let the Property. Failure to pay the balance in full by the due date will be deemed to be a cancellation of the booking. Deposits are not refundable. The price of renting each Property is listed on this website. If the Client makes the booking less than 12 weeks before the start of the planned holiday then full payment must be made and until this time, no booking confirmation will be issued.
If there is a Government order that disallows travel or occupancy of a cottage, then a full refund will be given. If the client chooses not to come due to COVID 19 but there is not a Government order, then we may offer to reschedule the booking to a date within one year of the original booking if given reasonable notice.
refundable breakages deposit
While we welcome stag and hen parties, a refundable security deposit of £300.00 is required from all single sex groups against unfair wear and tear, extra cleaning, loss of or damage to any items or fixtures and fittings at the Property.
i. Provided the client leaves the property and its contents in an ‘acceptable condition’ on departure, the security deposit will be refunded to the client within 7 days of departure.
ii. If the property is deemed to be left in an ‘unacceptable condition’, the security deposit will be utilised for any repairs and replacements. Should the costs of repair/replacements exceed the value of the security deposit we will invoice the client the difference.
arrivals & departures
Bookings run from Friday 4.30pm (Arrival) to Friday 11.30am (Departure), or for a short break from Monday 11.30am (max. stay usually 7 nights and minimum normally 3 nights). Please contact Anna if you wish to book a shorter or longer stay. Tel:01497821822
Cancellation by the Owner
If we have to cancel a booking of the Property at any time after confirming a booking (e.g. because of flood or fire at the Property or any other damage to the Property) or should the Property be unavailable on the day that the holiday starts for reasons outside our control (e.g. failure of equipment or services serving the Property) then we will offer the Client the choice of:
another alternative Property (subject to availability); or
a full refund of the amount paid by the Client to us. In such circumstances the Client shall have no further claim.
Client’s responsibilities and obligations
The Client (here meaning all of the persons over the age of 18 listed on the booking form) agrees:
a. to pay for any losses or damage to the Property or contents (including the soiling of beds, bedding, carpets and soft furnishings) however caused (reasonable wear and tear excluded).
b. to take good care of the Property and leave it in a clean and tidy condition on departure.
c. to permit the Owner reasonable access to the Property at all times.
d. If you wish to exceed the prescribed number of persons per Property, you must obtain prior approval from us.
e. to report any damage or breakages to the Owner as soon as they can (so that the Owner can make arrangements for their early replacement or repair).
The Client shall be responsible for any damage caused to the Property or its contents by any act, default or neglect of the Client or member of the Client’s party and shall pay to the Owner on demand the amount required to make good or remedy any such damage. The Owner reserves the right to send an invoice for this amount to the Client’s address.
The Client must let the Owner and Agent know of any special requirements at time of booking. If the Client or any member of the Client’s party has any medical problem or disability that may affect the Client’s holiday, this must be followed up with written confirmation of the condition.
If the Owner or Agent feel unable to properly accommodate the particular needs of the person concerned the Owner and Agent reserves the right not to accept the booking. If the Client advises the Owner or Agent of any special requirements after the booking is made and the Owner or Agent is unable to accommodate the particular needs of the person concerned, the Client will not be entitled to a refund.
Complaints
Whilst every care is taken to ensure complete satisfaction with your holiday accommodation, in the unhappy event of you having cause for any complaint, we cannot stress too strongly the following points:
a. Complaints should first be taken up immediately with the owner. The Owner will endeavour to put matters right straight away. This will result in a much speedier correction of any shortcomings.
b. In matters of equipment going wrong, it should be realised that although frequently checked, items not reported by departing occupants may possibly escape immediate attention and in this instance cannot be repaired/replaced until brought to the owner's notice.
c. Complaints not reported at the time cannot be entertained subsequently and it is regretted that no correspondence can be entered into in the case of complaints made after you return home when it will be appreciated that it is impossible for them to be effectively investigated.
Reports of appreciative comments or constructive suggestions for improvement are always gladly received.
