The Customer shall be deemed to be signing on behalf of all members of the party, who agree to be bound by these booking conditions. The issue of the Owner's confirmation following receipt of a signed booking form together with the correct payment as cleared funds will constitute a contract between the Owner and the Customer, no variations or additions to these terms shall be binding unless agreed in writing between both parties.

In all other cases a non refundable deposit of 25%, of the total holiday price, is required at the time of booking, and the balance of 75% is due not less than 8 weeks prior to departure. In the event of full payment not being made by the due time the Owner reserves the right to cancel the booking.

4. Accommodation Access to the property is available from 16:00 on the first day of rental and must be vacated by 11:00 on the agreed departure date.

The accommodation sleeps a maximum of 10 people, eight in four double bedrooms plus a double sleeper sofa in the lounge.

The alteration will be effective as soon as the Owner sends written confirmation to the Customer of the change. Any change must involve taking the revised rental period within six months from that originally booked. No change can be made within eight weeks of departure.

 

6. Cancellations made by the customer. Cancellations must be made by registered post and signed by the Customer. The deposit will be treated as part payment of the total amount due.
