and sign the following terms and conditions to secure your booking.
PLEASE READ THESE CONDITIONS CAREFULLY, YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A
LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT.
In respect of your stay at the property, these terms and conditions shall prevail over any
conflicting terms and conditions a booking provider may have issued to you.
1 ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE TIMES
You should arrive no earlier than 4.30pm on the first day of your booking and leave by
9.30am on the last day of your booking (The ‘Holiday Period’). Failure to do so may result in
you being charged a further day's rental at our sole discretion.
You are permitted to use the property only as a holiday home for the duration of the Holiday
Period. Your use of the property does not create a relationship of Landlord and Tenant and
you are not afforded any protection under the Housing Act 1988 or any other statutory
security of tenure.
2 BOOKING PROCEEDURE
Whilst we are prepared to consider requests for reservations of the properties, the booking is
not confirmed until receipt of these conditions signed by you and the relevant deposit or
payment is received in accordance with these terms and conditions.
3 PAYMENT TERMS
All bookings made 120 days or more ahead of your stay require payment of 50% of the total
cost to be paid upon booking. The balance of the cost of the stay is due no less than 90
days before your arrival.
For any bookings made less than 120 days prior to your stay, full payment will be required
upon booking.

4 FAILURE TO PAY
Non-payment of the sum payable under clause 3 will be treated as a cancellation of your
booking and we will be entitled to re-let the property without reference to you.
5 CANCELLATION
You are advised to take out personal holiday cancellation insurance.
Any request to cancel a booking must be made in writing to us. If the cancellation is made
less than 180 clear days before arrival, you will forfeit 50% of the booking cost. If the
cancellation is made less than 75 clear days before arrival, you will forfeit the entire booking
cost. We will use our reasonable endeavours to re-let the property in respect of the
cancelled Holiday Period. If we are successful, you will be refunded an amount less costs
and expenses incurred by us which shall include a one-off administration fee of £150.
6 CHANGES
We reserve the right to amend the price quoted in a brochure, website or rates sheet due to
errors or omissions or changes in the VAT rate. In such circumstances we will contact you
as soon as we become aware of an increase in charges. If you do not wish to pay the
increase you shall be entitled to cancel the reservation and receive a full refund for all
monies paid in respect of the reservation, provided that you have given us notice to cancel,
via email or phone, within 7 days of us informing you of the amendment to the price to be
charged from us.
7 OCCUPANCY AND USE OF PROPERTY
Under no circumstances may you have more than the maximum number of persons stated in
the brochure and on our website occupy the property. We reserve the right to refuse
admittance if this condition is not observed. Unless we have provided prior written consent to
you, only members of the booking party, as notified by you to us are allowed to stay at the
Property during the Holiday Period. To exceed the maximum number of persons in the
house overloads the facilities available which are not designed or capable of supporting
additional usage, and can lead to extensive and expensive damage as well as health and
safety breaches. As such, any occupancy over the approved number is considered to be a
material infringement of the Terms and Conditions and can result in an immediate
requirement to vacate the premises, with no refund of monies paid, and possible further
charges in the event of damage to the facilities caused by excess usage (for example, but
not limited to, a malfunctioning septic tank which has been used by a greater number of
people than the tank is designed for).
You will behave in such a manner as not to disrupt the enjoyment of other people staying in
the near vicinity or prejudice the reputation of the owner of the property.
Quiet hours are between 10pm and 8am during this time, there must be no noise made by
you that could be heard outside of the Property (“Quiet Hours”). Failure to comply with this
requirement will result in your deposit being retained and/or your booking cancelled without
refund, at our sole discretion.
The use of candles inside the property is strictly prohibited. You will turn off all electrical
appliances before leaving the property or going to bed and ensure that the property is locked
and secure should you leave the property during the Holiday Period.

reasonable care of its furniture, pictures, fittings and effects, in, on or around the property.

the end of the rental period as they were at the beginning. You must not use the property for
any dangerous, offensive, noxious, noisy, immoral activities or carry on there any act that
may be a nuisance or annoyance to the owner or other neighbouring properties. We request
