1. Commencement of Hire.
All bookings are from 3.00pm on Saturday and the property must be vacated
by 10.00am on the Saturday that the period ends. You are asked to please
leave the property clean and tidy.
2. Deposit/Full payment.
A deposit of £50.00 per week is payable when booking unless the booking

amount of the hire charge is payable. You may however make a provisional
booking by telephone / e-mail, and this will be held for a maximum of seven
days.
The balance is payable not later than 6 weeks before the commencement date.
If the balance is not received by the owners by the due date the deposit
will be forfeited and the accommodation re-let.

Once a booking has been confirmed in writing and the deposit paid, the hirer
is liable for the whole amount of the rent for the period booked.
If written notice of cancellation is received every effort will be made to
re-let the cottage for the period booked, and if a new let is arranged then
only the deposit will be forfeit. If the cottage cannot be re-let then both
the deposit and the balance payable will be forfeit.

The booking is made on the understanding that the cottage will be placed
