The property is hired strictly on a basis that the accommodation is for holiday use only and no right to remain in the accommodation shall exist for the hirer or any person allowed into the property by the hirer or the owner or any person acting on the owner’s authority. The hirer will be liable for all cost and fees as a result of any delayed departure.

To cancel a booking you must do so in writing by recorded delivery, whereupon every reasonable attempt will be made by the owner to re-let the premises. If a cancellation is made within four weeks of the start of the holiday, the full balance will be payable unless we are able to re-let the cottage. If re-letting is possible you are no longer liable for the balance. If you have already paid the balance we will refund it to you. We strongly advise that you take out a cancellation insurance.
