It is essential that you contact the staff at the main reception immediately if any problem arises so that it can be resolved as soon as possible.

If you report any issues to reception during your stay it can usually be resolved quickly. Under no circumstances will any refund be considered if we have not been given the opportunity to rectify any problems during the Hirer’s stay. Regrettably we are unable to accept any complaints that are raised after departure and will not enter into any correspondence concerning such complaints. As we act only as an agent for the property owner, we cannot accept any legal responsibility for your holiday property. If we help to sort out a complaint, we are doing so as a gesture of goodwill in our capacity as an agent only and will have no legal responsibility to you for any refund or compensation.
