To secure any booking we require a deposit to be paid in advance, this deposit amount is 20% of the total cost (unless stated differently on the booking form, in which case the booking form prevails).

Deposit payments must be 'cleared funds' before a booking can be confirmed. Deposits are only refundable under the conditions set-out here within.

Payments can be made online / over the phone using debit / credit card as well as by digital bank transfer.  Cheques and cash cannot be accepted. Any charges raised against us by our banks for handling dishonoured payments, must be reimbursed by the lead guest within seven (7) days of any request to do so.

All guests agree to respect the privacy and peace of all other staying guests, neighbours and the owners always and at all times. We reserve the right to cancel a booking with immediate effect if guests are not honouring this agreement or causing a disturbance / nuisance to other guests, neighbours or the owners.

Cancellation, Returned Deposit & Non-Arrival Conditions

Guest who need to cancel a booking should contact us as soon as possible. Unless alternative conditions are expressly indicated at the time of booking, then the following terms apply:

Deposits are made at the time of booking, and full payment is required 4 weeks prior to arrival date.  If full payment is not made, the booking may be cancelled by the owner and the cancellation refund policy applies.

If a special “payment in advance/non-refundable” price is offered and a booking is accepted, then no refunds are made.

Any third party booking fees are subject to the conditions of that third-party, and are non-refundable by us.

Excepting any for non-refundable terms, deposits and accommodation payments already paid are only returned in accordance with the following conditions;

• Cancellation made 12 weeks or more in advance of arrival date = 95% refund
• Cancellation made 4 weeks or more in advance of arrival date = 75% refund
• Cancellation made 2 weeks or more in advance of arrival date = 50% refund
• Cancellation made less than 2 weeks before arrival date = No refund issued, full amount of booking due

Non-arrival guests, who are unable to attend or fail to attend for whatever reason and do not notify, forfeit their deposit paid and the full amount of the booking will be due. 

If a guest wishes to move their booking to a later date, and accommodation is available, then the refunded amount under the cancellation policy is applied to the new booking (which may be at a different rate).

It is suggested that booking guests take out appropriate holiday / cancellation insurance where required.

In the rare event we need to cancel your booking with us, please be aware that we cannot be held liable for circumstances beyond our control and that our liability to you is limited to the refund of any payments already made to us.
