Cottage bookings are accepted subject to availability (confirmed by telephone or email) and on receipt of 50% deposit received within five working days.
The balance of the tariff should be paid 6 weeks before the date of arrival.

For bookings that include children of any age an additional cleaning/breakages deposit of £300 is required. This will be refunded after your visit minus any deductions for cleaning, redecoration, repairs or breakages. We are not concerned with minor accidents as we appreciate they do happen. However, biro/felt tip on the walls or spillages requiring specialist cleaning for example will be charged for.

A cancellation must be advised as soon as possible. Every effort will be made to relet the cottage. For cancellations made by the client within one month of the arrival date the entire amount will be forfeit unless the cottage is re let. The deposit is non returnable. We strongly advise you to insure against cancellation.

The maximum number of guests allowed in each cottage is advised at time of booking. No other person other than those expected to arrive may be accommodated unless confirmed in advance.

And Finally……

Our cottages are fitted and equipped to a high standard in line will all relevant legislation. Where permissible we have made use of recycled products. We like to support our local charity shops and craft fairs. Many items purchased for the cottages have had previous use, we feel they now fit in nicely with their new surroundings.

Much of our waste is recycled. We would encourage you to follow the instructions for recycling in the welcome pack on arrival.
