1. The property may be offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation by Chris and Wendy Blakeman (‘the booking agents’) to the renter (‘the client’)
2. To reserve the property, the client should complete and sign the booking form and return it together with payment of the initial non refundable deposit £200 per
week Please note that this deposit will not be refunded in the event of cancellation. The client is strongly recommended to arrange a comprehensive travel
insurance policy including cancellation cover and to have full cover for the party’s personal belongings and public liability etc since these are not
covered by the owners insurance. This deposit constitutes part of the total rental fee. Electricity, cooking gas, hot and cold water are included unless otherwise
indicated. Heating is not included. Following receipt of the booking form and deposit, the booking agents will send a confirmation statement. This is the formal
acceptance of the booking.
3. The balance of the rental is due not less than 10 weeks before the start of the rental period. If payment is not received by the due date the agents reserve the right
to give notice in writing that the reservation is cancelled. The client will remain liable to pay the balance of the rent. Reservations made within 10 weeks of the start of
the rental period require full payment at the time of booking. Once the balance has been paid, no refunds will be given on cancellation by the client even if the owner
re books the property.
4. A security deposit of £200 - cottage; £300 - villa, will be taken and the owner will claim costs incurred for the replacement of breakages or repair of damage to the
property. An £80 charge will be deducted if the property has not been cleaned by the client at the end of their stay. The security deposit will be returned in
full or in part, if deductions have been made, after the departure of the client, within 2 weeks of the clients vacating the property. The security deposit cannot be used
to pay for services. This shall not limit the clients liability to the owner.
5. Any chargeable expenses arising during the rental period must be settled locally with the owners on the day before departure.
6. The rental period shall commence at 16.00 (4.00 pm) on the first day and finish at 10.00 (10.00 am) on the last day. The manager shall not be obliged to offer the ’
property’ before the time stated and the client shall not be entitled to remain in occupation after the time stated. If you expect to arrive one hour earlier or later than
