Holiday Cottage Booking Conditions

1.
Bookings must be made on the enclosed form and accompanied by one quarter of the rental plus the security deposit. If a booking is made less than 28 days before the holiday commences then the full rent is due at the time of booking. Cheques are made payable to Adam Barber. Unfortunately we are unable to accept payment by credit card.

2.
Once the booking form is received and accepted the clients are liable for payment for the balance of the rent four weeks before the holiday.

3.
Lettings commence at 3.00 p.m. on the first day of the tenancy and end at 10.30 am on the day of departure unless notified otherwise. Under no circumstances may more people or pets other than those notified to the Owner occupy the property.

4.
The client undertakes to leave the property in a clean and tidy condition. A Security Deposit of £200.00 is taken at the time of booking. This is held on the owner’s behalf to cover any costs of repairs, replacements or additional cleaning charges if the property is left in an unsatisfactory condition. The clients are responsible for the property and its contents and so if the client finds any damage on arrival the client should inform the caretaker immediately so that steps can be taken to rectify this. Also on departure all damages/breakages/losses should be reported to the caretaker. The Security Deposit usually covers all breakages/damages/losses but the client will be liable for any costs incurred over and above the Security Deposit limit. If there are no such costs, the Deposit will be returned within 14 days of the end of the rental period.

5.
If for any reason beyond the owner’s control (e.g. fire damage) the property is not available on the date booked, all deposits and rental down payments will be refunded in full but the clients shall have no further claim.

6.
If the booking is cancelled for any reason with less than 28 days notice from the start of the booked period, the client will remain legally liable to pay the full balance as specified on the Booking Form. The client is urged to take out any insurance against the possibility of canceling.

7.
Acceptance of a reservation for any properties managed by The Cottage Boutique, confers upon on the clients the right to occupy the property for a holiday within the meaning of Section 9 of the Rent Act 1977..

8.
Where pets are allowed, the client will be liable for all additional costs of repairs, replacements and extra cleaning resulting from their pets.
