Prices
The price of the accommodation includes the following: Electricity, linen, towels, cleaning, hot water and heating.
Payment
If an overdue balance is not paid by the deadline given within a written reminder, it will be assumed that you have cancelled your booking and the property will become re-available to rent. If the property does not re-book, you will still be liable for the balance.
Pets
We are able to accommodate your well-behaved dog. Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate cats or other pets. Please make us aware that you are bringing your dog when booking. There is an additional cost of £20 per dog, per night. In the event of an unforeseen soiling incident we reserve the right to add an appropriate cleaning charge to your account. Additionally, in the unlikely event that the affected room needs to be taken out of service you may be liable for resulting loss in revenue.
Non-availability of Accommodation
We would only cancel your holiday if the accommodation was unavailable for reasons beyond our control. We would however attempt to offer you alternative accommodation. If this was not possible, or unacceptable to you, then we would refund all monies paid by you for the holiday. Our liability would not extend beyond this refund.
Arrival
Your accommodation will be available to you from 3pm on the day of arrival, unless otherwise arranged. We may not be able to accommodate you if you arrive earlier than the agreed time as we will be busy preparing the property. If it is not possible to coordinate an arrival time that will allow us to meet you in person at the property then we can arrange for key collection to be made via a secure lockbox at the property.
Departure
Please be ready to leave the accommodation by 10am on the day of departure, unless otherwise arranged. We pride ourselves in the quality of our accommodation and we're sure you realise this when you arrive. We ask all guests to leave the property in a clean and tidy state with all used linens and towels on the floor and all dishes washed and put away. If we are unable to meet you at the property to collect the keys then it is required that you leave the key in the secure lockbox after check out.
Care of the Property
Please take care when staying in our property. You are responsible for the care of the contents during your stay.
