Any contract to hire a property listed in this brochure and current supplements incorporates the conditions below and is between HW and you as “the Hirer”.

The balance of the holiday price must be received by HW no later than 56 days before the holiday start date. If booking within 56 days, full payment must be made when booking. If booking within 14 days of the start date, full payment must be made by debit or credit card.
