| | | | | | | | - The weekly rental of the cottage commences at 16.00 on Saturday and the cottage needs to be vacated by 10.30 on the following Saturday (or subsequent Saturday depending on rental period) to allow time for changeover. We are not obliged to offer the accommodation before the time stated, and you shall not be entitled to remain in the accommodation after the time stated, unless by previous agreement.
- In order to ensure that your preferred holiday dates can be met, we advise you to contact us by email or telephone prior to booking. However, we do not offer any guarantee of availability until we are in receipt of your signed booking form and a £200* deposit cheque in £Sterling (made out to Mrs C. Potter). Details on how to find us and confirmation of your booking will be sent upon receipt of your cheque and signed booking form.
- If you book less than 8 weeks before the commencement date then payment will be due in full at the time of booking.
- Prices are quoted in £Sterling as there is no exact conversion rate to Euros. If Euros are provided in cash upon arrival, then the appropriate commercial rate of exchange on the day will apply – NOT tourist rates.
- A refundable damage deposit of £100* is included in the rental deposit. This is not part of the rental charge but covers any extra costs involved, including breakages/damage/losses and also should the cottage be left in an unreasonable or dirty condition etc. Our decision on the cleanliness of the property is final. If, after the rental no losses or extra costs have been incurred, the deposit will be returned. Otherwise all or part of the deposit will be used to make good the losses incurred, and any amount remaining from the deposit after this will be returned to you. A full description of any damage or losses will be sent to you.
