Conditions of Booking

1. The Old Stables sleeps a maximum of two adults. The number of persons occupying the cottage may not exceed those named on the booking form and we reserve the right to refuse admittance and revoke the booking, without refund, if this condition is not met. 

2. We regret that smoking and pets are not allowed in the cottage at any time.

3. All bed linen and towels are provided (except beach towels) and changed weekly. We ask you please NOT to take the cottage towels for use on the beach. 

4. The letting charge includes the cost of heating and electricity.

5. The letting period normally runs from Saturday to Saturday, but alternative periods and extra days may be booked, if they are available, by arrangement. The cottage will be available from 3pm on the day of arrival and must be vacated by 10am on the day of departure.

6. A non-refundable deposit of £100 for each week reserved is payable at time of booking, with the balance due 6 weeks before your holiday commences. Deposits and balance must be by cheque, postal order or PayPal; we are not able to accept credit card payment. If the balance remains unpaid after the due-date, we reserve the right to cancel the booking and re-let the property. The deposit will then be forfeited.

7. We strongly recommend that you take out insurance against cancellation of your holiday as it is an express condition that the whole of the rent is payable even if you are unable for any reason to take up your reservation in full or in part. In all cases, the deposit will be forfeited. However, if you provide us with sufficient written notice of a cancellation, we will endeavour to re-let the property and if successful we will return your money, less deposit. If we are unsuccessful, you will remain responsible for the full rent.

8. The cottage and its contents are insured but our policy does NOT cover your personal belongings - please make sure your holiday insurance provides adequate protection for yourselves and your belongings. We will not be liable for any loss or damage to any goods or property belonging to yourselves, howsoever that damage or loss is caused (including negligence). The use of amenities provided is entirely at the user's risk.

9. We have described and advertised our cottage in good faith; if on arrival at the property you do not consider that it is fit for your use, please advise us (or our representative) immediately so that an on-the-spot investigation can be made and, if appropriate, matters put right. We cannot accept claims for compensation after your stay has ended, or where you have not given us an opportunity to put matters right during your stay. 

10. You are responsible for the property and are expected to take reasonable care of it and to pay for any losses or damages to the property (except reasonable wear and tear) unless the costs can be fully recovered under our own insurance. The property and all its equipment must be left clean and tidy and in the same good condition at the end of the holiday period. You must allow us to enter the property to undertake any necessary maintenance. Occasionally accidents happen - should you lose or damage something belonging to the cottage during your stay, please replace it or let us know if this is not possible. All losses must  be paid for.

11. If the holiday property should not be available owing to damage by fire or storm or for any reason outside our control, we will refund the full amount of any payments made by you, but our liability is limited to the refund of those payments.

12. You must return the key of the cottage to us, or our representative, immediately at the end of your holiday period.
