Please read carefully. When making a reservation you are entering into a legally binding contract with us. For your protection we strongly recommend that all guests obtain travel insurance in case you have to cancel or cut short your holiday.
The booking is made on the understanding that we will make the cottage available to you on the dates stated. Should this not be possible due to events beyond our reasonable control we will endeavour to provide you with alternative accommodation. Should no other accommodation be available at the time we will offer you alternative dates or refund of your accommodation rental, but you will have no other claim or remedy against us.
A deposit of 50% of the total rental is payable on booking, the remainder to be received by us no later than 4 weeks before arrival. Should a booking be made within 4 weeks of the holiday start date, full payment must be made at the time of the initial booking.
In the event of cancellation payments are refundable up to 30 days prior to the holiday after which a fee of 50% will apply for cancellations 15 to 30 days prior, and 100% 0 to 14 days prior. All cancellations must be notified in writing by the client and received by us before the cancellation charges are confirmed.
Once the keys are given out on arrival it is the key holder's responsibility to meet up with the remainder of the party and to return the keys upon departure. A charge of £50.00 will be made where keys are lost or not returned at the required prearranged time and place.
On the day of arrival the cottage will be available for occupancy at 4pm and on the day of departure it must be vacated by 10am unless there has been a prearranged agreement. Please advise us of your estimated time of arrival to arrange for collection of keys, deposit etc. The period of let usually runs from Saturday to Saturday.

The cottage may not be sub-let.
