Terms & Conditions

Terms and conditions of let.
Once a booking has been confirmed, a contract has been entered into. The person whose name appears on the Booking form agrees to take full responsibility for ensuring that all of the  Conditions of Let are communicated and adhered to by all members of the party.
We require names, ages and contact details of all guests
Booking and payment
A deposit of 25% of the full rental price is payable on booking and includes a £50 booking management fee. The remaining balance of payment is due a month before the start of the holiday. If a booking is made less than a month before the start of the holiday the full rent is payable at the time of booking. A security bond of £300 is payable at the same time as the balance and is refunded by us in full if the property is left as found. Failure to pay any rental charges will result in the owner treating the property as available for re-letting.
All cancellations must be notified in writing and once received cancellation will be confirmed.
To minimise inconvenience and cost of cancelled bookings, guests are strongly advised to have UK travel/holiday insurance in place, from the time of booking.  If you wish to cancel your booking for any reason then this should be notified to us in writing (email notification is acceptable)

If the cancellation is received:
More than 8 weeks (56 days) before arrival date, the guest receives a full refund of all payments made minus the £50 booking management fee.
4-8 weeks  (28 - 56 days) before the arrival date. The guest receives a refund of 50% of payments made.
1-4 weeks (7 – 28 days) before the arrival date. The guest receives a refund of 25% of payments made.
7 days or less prior to arrival. The guest receives a refund of 10% of payments made.
On receipt of the cancellation, the owner will use reasonable endeavour to obtain a replacement booking. In the event of a successful replacement booking, the owner will refund the total amount paid by the customer, minus the booking management fee and minus the difference in price between the customers booking and the replacement booking if one is made.


Cancellation due to  illness, self-isolation, quarantine or shielding remain at your risk and do not give a right to cancel or receive refund unless the property is re-let and according to sliding scale set above. We therefore strongly recommend that you take out UK travel insurance to cover these eventualities and there are options for obtaining such insurance from organisations like trailfinders, gocompare, the post office etc.

Should the property, subsequent to booking, become unavailable or unusable due to circumstances beyond the Owners control, then our sole obligation to you is to confirm the cancellation of the booking as soon as possible and reimburse you for all payments made to us. We are not responsible for any consequential damage or losses incurred by you or anyone in your guest group.
