charge will be levied. Guests are expected to leave the property in a similar

state to which they find it (reasonable cleaning excepted). All breakages must

be paid for. Undeclared breakages must also be paid for. Please abide by this

so we can continue to provide good value for Guests.

​

Number of People using Holiday Accommodation: The Cottage not suitable

for children and infants. - Adults only. The Owner permits the Guest  (but no one else) to

correct number of Guests at time of booking and if this changes, must

inform the owner before the rental commences of any change. No more than

the maximum number of persons (two) stated on the website may occupy a

property unless by prior written agreement with the Owner. Extra charges

may be applicable if the number of Guests differs from the number on the

booking, or asked to leave the premises.

​

​

Arrival/Departure: The properties/accommodation (unless otherwise agreed) are available

for occupation from 4.00 pm (on later than 9pm) on the first day of the holiday and must be

vacated by 10.00 am on the day of departure. 

​

​

Cancellation or Changes by the Guest: Once the holiday is booked, either for camping or

self catering the

Guest has entered into a legally binding contract. If the Guest cancels, for

whatever reason (including medical and weather related) then no refund of

the deposit will be due, and within 6 weeks of the holiday, no refund of the

full balance is due. Cancellations are to be made in writing. If in the event, the

property/pitch is re-let, for the cancelled period, the Owner may at their discretion

refund the amount paid subject to an admin fee and any other costs. In the

event the cancelled period is re-let for a lesser amount, the lesser amount will

be refunded.

holiday insurance policy (which includes cancellation insurance covering

sickness and unavoidable reasons for cancellation) prior to their stay.

​

Pets: Maximum two pets, unless by request. No 'Dangerous Dogs'. The Guest may only bring such

pets as are booked in by the Guest at the time of booking. A charge will be made per pet per day.

Pets must be well-behaved and must not be left unattended in the property/caravans

If, in the opinion of the Owner, any person is not suitable to continue their

occupation of the property because of unreasonable behaviour, damage or

nuisance to other parties, the contract may be treated by the Owner as

discharged and the Owner has the right to repossess the property

immediately and ask the guest to leave. The Guest will remain liable for the

whole cost of rental or damage caused and no refund shall be due.

​

​

Access to the Cottage: Guests must allow reasonable access to the property by the Owner

for maintenance/emergencies given reasonable notice.

​

Wildlife: Our properties are in a beautiful rural area. Please therefore

expect to meet some wildlife, including the odd spider, mouse, bird, fly, bee,

wasp or other creature, which may make their way into a property

unbeknownst to the Owner. Spiders in particular are not considered to be a

pest and consume up to 2000 other insects per year. If this is likely to be a

problem, it would be best not to book. (If any of these creatures are

encountered, do not panic, but contact the Owner in a calm and reasonable

way - but only if the creatures become a serious menace. Otherwise, just

open a window or a door and let them out, as this is usually what they prefer.)

Owners reserve the right to take no action if they do not consider the

existence of the wild life to be a serious threat to health and safety.

​

Complaints Procedure: If a Guest has a complaint, it should be submitted to

the Owner at the earliest opportunity. We want you to have a wonderful stay

with us, so please give us the opportunity to put things right as and when

things occur.

​

If a complaint cannot be resolved and Guest wishes to take the matter to

Court this should be done at the Court nearest to the Owners address.
