COMPLAINTS

If, upon arrival you feel that there are reasonable grounds for complaint about your holiday home we must be contacted immediately so that, if possible, appropriate action can be taken during your stay. If a reason for complaint shall arise during your holiday, you must similarly contact us as soon as the problem arises.

ACCESS

The property owner, his/her representative, must be allowed access to the holiday home at any reasonable time for essential maintenance or annual Quality Grading inspection. Wherever possible prior arrangements will be made.

CANCELLATION

We do not provide holiday cancellation insurance and we strongly suggest that you take this out independently.

Once a booking has been accepted by us, it can only be changed by treating the original booking as a cancellation.

In the event that you have to cancel your holiday you must notify us immediately in writing/email. Cancellation only takes effect when we have received written confirmation.

If you do cancel then you are still liable for the payment of your balance, which is due 8 weeks before your arrival date.

We shall seek to relet the property at the best possible price, but not necessarily at the advertised web site price. If the accommodation is relet, monies received by us, less the non refundable deposit, will be returned to you. If we are unable to relet the accommodation for the period of the cancelled holiday, you will still be liable to pay 100% of the total price.

Amendments that apply to new bookings made after 1 July 2020 – We are now waiving your liability for the balance payment, if you cancel, in writing, more than 8 weeks prior to your stay. If you cancel after this point then you are still liable for the full amount and we will try and relet the property, as per the paragraph above.

CANCELLATION BY OURSELVES

In the unlikely event that your holiday accommodation becomes unavailable, for whatever reason, we will offer you an alternative solution of at least equal standard, if at all possible. We shall not be under any other liability.

Covid-19 reasons : applicable to new bookings made after 1 July 2020

We recognise the difficulty in now purchasing holiday travel insurance that will cover Covid-19 and consequently we have decided that if we are forced to close due to the government lockdown then we will issue a refund for the balance payment and a voucher equivalent to your initial deposit, enabling you to make another booking within 12 months or your original stay.  If you do not book with us within 12 months of your original stay you will forfeit your deposit.

We regret that we cannot accept responsibility for any lost property left behind at the end of your stay. Whilst we will make every reasonable effort to return lost property this will only be done on receipt of a minimum payment of £10 to cover the cost of packaging and registered post. Any larger items will be charged at the postage rate plus a £5 packaging and handling charge.

PAYMENT

Payments can only be made online via debit or credit cards.
