Terms & Conditions
1. Making your booking
At time of booking, you will be requested to pay a booking deposit of 25% if your holiday start date is more than 8 weeks after the date of your booking. If your booking is within 8 weeks of your holiday start date, full payment will be required at time of booking.
On receipt of your booking deposit, a contract of hire exists between the hirer and the owners.
2. Payment of the balance of hire
Your balance of hire is due for payment, without demand, no later than 8 weeks prior to your arrival. Failure to comply may result in the cancellation of the holiday and forfeiture of the deposit and payment of full cancellation charges.
3. Changes to your booking
After your booking has been confirmed, any changes will incur an administration cost of £20.00 to cover the cost of replacement paperwork. Changes within 8 weeks of the start date of your holiday may incur additional cancellation charges and all requested changes will be subject to availability.
4. Cancellation by the hirer
In the event of cancellation by you 8 weeks or more before your holiday, your 25% booking deposit will be non-refundable and you may be eligible to claim on your holiday cancellation insurance if taken (see item 6 below). 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.
5. Cancellation by the owner
Should a property suddenly become unavailable for the dates hired by you due to unforeseen circumstances, all efforts will be made to offer suitable alternatives. If this is not possible, then all monies paid by the hirer will be refunded in full with no deductions but the Owners will incur no further liability of any kind. Under no circumstances will the Owners be liable to refund any amount exceeding the amount paid by the hirer.
6. Cancellation and Personal Insurance
It is very strongly recommended that you have adequate personal and holiday cancellation insurance to cover you and all members of your party. This should be suitable for UK self-catering holidays arranged independently of a travel agent and should include cancellation protection cover to safeguard you against loss of the cost of your holiday in the event of unexpected cancellation.
Under no circumstances will the Owners be responsible for loss of life, personal injury, medical expenses, accidents, damage to the Hirers property, personal effects or motor vehicle(s) and you should ensure that any insurance covers such eventualities.
7. Liability
The Owners accept no liability whatsoever for any Loss, Damage, Injury or Accident to the Hirer or any member of the Hirer's party or property whilst in occupation of the property or its grounds insofar as this results from proven negligence of the Hirer or any member of the Hirer's party.
8. Bed linen and Towels
Your hire includes all bed linen and towels.
9. Pets
Pets are not permitted in the property at any time.
10. Safety of children
The property is situated near the on-site lakes, so children must be supervised at all times and are the sole responsibility of the parents or guardian.
11. Smoking
For the comfort of all guests and staff, no smoking or vaping is permitted inside the premises.
12. Behaviour
Behaviour of guests, and visitors, should not be excessive or rowdy, especially at night. Offensive or illegal behaviour will not be tolerated. You should show consideration to the owners, your neighbours and other guests at all times.
13. Price changes
Prices are correct at the time of publication but may change without notice with the exception of confirmed bookings. Confirmed bookings will not alter other than to reflect any changes in tax.
14. Arrival and departure times
Your holiday hire includes use of the property from 4.00pm on the day of arrival as specified in your booking confirmation until 10.00am on the specified day of departure. Later checkouts will result in an additional charge.
15. Maintenance Work
Improvements, maintenance and refurbishment to the facilities in the lodges and the grounds are carried out throughout the year. The owners will always do their best to ensure guests are not inconvenienced.
16. The owners reserve the right to refuse any booking.
