TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Please ensure you read and fully understand these booking terms and conditions. If anything is unclear, please contact us so we can explain in further detail to avoid any misunderstandings.

Bookings are subject to the following terms and conditions.

• A contract between “you" (the guest/s, the client/s, people) and “us” (we, the owner, the proprietor) will come into existence when a payment (either a deposit or payment in full) is received and a booking confirmation is issued showing the confirmed holiday dates. The contract binds you and all members of your party. It is your responsibility to ensure that all members of your party accept the terms of the contract set out in these terms and conditions of booking. Failure to disclose all relevant information or comply with these terms may lead to termination of the contract and loss of the booking.

• A non-refundable 25% deposit of the holiday cost is payable at the time of booking. Bookings made less than six weeks before your arrival date must be paid in full.

• The balance must be paid no later than six weeks before the commencement of your holiday. If the balance is not received by the due date, then your holiday will be treated as a cancellation and you will remain liable to pay the balance of the rent.

• All cancellations must be notified in writing. If you cancel your holiday more than 6 weeks before it is due to start, then your deposit will be forfeited. If you cancel less than 6 weeks before the holiday, then the full balance remains due and is not refundable.

• We strongly advise that you take out comprehensive travel insurance to cover cancellations. If you choose not to, then you accept responsibility for any loss that you may incur due to your cancellation.

Notification will be given of the cancellation as soon as possible and we will promptly refund all payments made for your holiday.
