The maximum occupancy as advised by the Hirer must not be exceeded under any circumstances without prior written agreement by the owners and receipt of any additional monies where the small party discount no longer applies. At no time must the occupancy exceed 2 guests.
2. Paying the balance of hire

6. Cancellation by you
On confirmation of your booking, a contract of hire will exist between the Hirer and the Owners.

Cancellation within 8 weeks of your holiday will forfeit the full hire amount paid (or due) unless the owners can re-let the property in which case only the 25% booking deposit will be forfeit to cover administration and re-letting costs.
