BOOKING TERMS & CONDITIONS
Bookings are subject to the following terms and conditions as agreed to at the time of booking.
A contract between the guest and the owner will come into existence when we receive payment and accept your booking by issuing a confirmation of booking for the holiday dates shown in the rental agreement. The contract binds you & all the 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 & conditions of booking. Failure to disclose all relevant information or comply with these terms may lead to termination of the contract & loss of the booking.
A non-refundable deposit of 25% of the holiday price is payable at the time of booking with a 48 hours grace period.
Bookings made less than 6 weeks before your arrival date must be accompanied by the full amount of the holiday charge and the £250 refundable damage deposit (if requested).
The balance must be paid so as to arrive no later than 6 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 the client will remain liable to pay the balance of the rent.
All cancellations must be immediately notified in writing. If you cancel your holiday within 30 days before your stay you will incur a 50% cancellation penalty, if you cancel within 14 days of your stay, then the full balance remains due and is not refundable.
We strongly advise that you take out comprehensive travel insurance. If you choose not to then you accept responsibility for any loss that you may incur due to your cancellation.
Your booking will not be cancelled by the owner except in exceptional circumstances beyond our control. Notification will be given of the cancellation as soon as possible and we will promptly refund all payments made for your holiday. Our liability for cancellation will be limited to payments made to us.
The number of persons using the accommodation at any time must not exceed 8 unless discussed with the owner and only those people listed on the booking form can occupy the apartment. We reserve the right to terminate the booking without notice and without refund in case of a breach of this condition.
Bookings cannot be accepted from persons under eighteen years of age.
We (the owner) reserve the right to refuse a booking without giving any reason.
We or our representative reserve the right to enter the house at any time to undertake essential and emergency maintenance however we would notify the guest of this before entering the property.
Tenancies normally commence from 4pm unless otherwise agreed and guests are required to vacate the apartment by 10am on the day of departure. This allows the accommodation to be thoroughly cleaned and prepared for incoming guests. (Include what you’d like guests to do on departure i.e. empty bins, strip beds, clean dirty dishes etc).
Please when you vacate the house, please leave the house tidy, turn all lights off, close all windows and turn the heating down on the thermostat to 15 degrees (more applicable in the winter) and empty the bins.

Damage deposit – In making a booking you accept responsibility for any theft, breakage or damage caused by you or any member of your party and agree to indemnify us in full for any loss that we may incur as a result. The security deposit will be returned within 7-14 days of the end of your holiday less the cost of damage/breakages.
Damage to property – Please treat the facilities & accommodation with due care so that other guests may continue to enjoy them. In the event that you notice damage in your accommodation please let us know immediately so that we can take the appropriate action. If there have been any breakages during your stay, we would be grateful if you could replace them with a similar item or advise us before you leave. The accommodation will be inspected at the end of the holiday & you may be charged for any loss or damage found.
Please lock the doors and close all the windows when they leave your property unoccupied.
The owner reserves the right to make a charge to cover additional cleaning costs if the client leaves the property in an unacceptable condition.
Please note that in the event that any keys issued are not returned at the end of your stay, then the cost of replacement will be charged to you.
The client may in no circumstance re-let or sublet the property, even free of charge.

We respect our neighbours and community. Please no loud noise after 10pm. Quiet hours between 10pm and 7am.
Any problem or complaint which the client may have concerning their holiday must be immediately reported directly to us/our representatives and we will endeavour to put matters right. Any complaints not reported to us/the property manager at the time and only reported after the client has returned from holiday will not be considered by the proprietor.
We reserve the right to make reasonable amendments or additions to these terms and conditions without notice.
This property is privately owned. We expect all guests to enjoy the facilities and treat the property with the same respect that they would with their own house.
