2 The Owner does not accept any liability for any loss, damage or injury howsoever caused to the Holidaymakers (or anyone in their party) or to their vehicles and personal property save where personal injury or death is caused by the negligence of the Owner. Any valuables left in the accommodation are done so at the Holidaymakers own risk. Children should be monitored at all times and Holidaymakers should verify the suitability of any children’s equipment provided. It is the Holidaymakers responsibility to take out adequate travel insurance and cover for the duration of their stay.

8 Once a booking is confirmed by the Owner, the Holidaymaker is responsible for the full balance of the cost of the holiday. This shall be paid not later than 28 days before the booking is due to commence.

9 The Owner reserves the right to re-let any holiday where any monies due are more than 14 days in arrears. However, if the Owner is unable to re-let the holiday the Holidaymaker will remain liable for the outstanding balance of the cost of the holiday.

10 In the event of the accommodation becoming unavailable (such as fire or flooding), the Owner will endeavour to provide the Holidaymaker with suitable alternative accommodation or will refund all monies paid or a proportion in the case of curtailment. We cannot, however pay any compensation or expenses as a consequence of such an event.

11 In the event of cancellations, the Owner will endeavour to re-let the accommodation, and if successful the balance of the cost will not be due as above, or if already paid, will be refunded. Any request to cancel must be put in writing to the Owner in the first instance. The Deposit will be retained.

12 The Owner will provide all bedding and towels. If a booking is made that lasts more than seven days the Owner will arrange for beds to be changed, house to be cleaned and fresh towels will be provided.

13 Holidaymakers wishing to take pets on holiday must abide by the following rules: Responsible pet owners are welcome and the following applies to all bookings: one small, well behaved dog is permitted. However young pets i.e. puppies MUST be declared to the Owner at the time of booking and authorised by the Owner. If a puppy or young pet is taken to a property without the consent of the owner this could result in you being asked to leave without compensation. When booking online it is advised you check the acceptance of your pet by telephone or email prior to booking.

14 We ask dog owners to observe the following rules (failure to do so may result in you being asked to leave without compensation):-

1 Dogs must be under strict control at all times while in the property

2 Any fouling of lawns etc. must be cleared up without delay.

3 Dogs MUST NOT be left alone in the property or elsewhere at any time.

4 Dogs MUST NOT lie on beds or furnishings, and hair must be well cleared up before departing.

5 Dog owners must ensure that their pets are free from parasites and fleas before they occupy the property. Failure to do so will incur subsequent charges.

6 Any damage (which must be reported to the Owner immediately) or excessive cleaning that may incur an additional charge, will be at the Owner's discretion.

7 Due to the property being located in an area with free roaming livestock, any pets must be kept strictly under control whilst entering and exiting the property.

8 All pets must have up-to-date vaccinations.

15 The Holidaymakers shall keep the Property and all furniture, fixtures, fittings and effects in or on the Property in the same state of repair as at the commencement of the holiday, and shall leave the Property in the same state of cleanliness and general order in which it was found.

17 In the event of there being cause for complaint concerning the Property, the matter shall be taken up with the Owner/Caretaker at once. It is important that this is done whilst you are still at the Property so that an on-the-spot investigation can be made if necessary and remedial action taken if required. In no circumstances will compensation be considered for complaints raised after the holiday has ended, when the Holidaymakers have denied the Owners/Caretakers the opportunity of investigating the complaint and endeavouring to remedy matters during the holiday.
