Terms & Conditions

Thank you for your enquiry.  If you would like to make a booking, you will need to pay a deposit of one third of the rental.  Please send a cheque made payable to:
MH & L Andrews.  The booking will then be confirmed.  If the holiday is less than 4 weeks ahead, the full amount is due.

Prices include V.A.T. at the current rate, power heating, lighting, linen, towels and logs.

For weekly rentals the start day is Friday.  Short breaks run from Friday to Monday and Monday to Friday, but may be at any time at our discretion.  Short breaks are bookable any time in advance, except for Easter (e April to 17 April); Spring bank holiday (22 May to 29 May); 17 July to 28 August, 23 October to 30 October, and Christmas and New Year weeks.  During these periods, short breaks can only be booked within 28 days of the start date.

Each week of your holiday is charged separately according to the periods covered by the price list.

The period of rental is from 4pm on the day of arrival until 10am on the day of departure.  This enables us to prepare the cottage for yourselves and for subsequent guests so we would ask you kindly to respect these times. There shall be a nominated Responsible Person for each booking who shall accept responsibility for all payments, whether for Rental or Security Deposit (see below).  The Responsible Person shall furthermore be responsible for the safety of the fabric and contents of the cottage and make recompense to the owner for any damage and extraordinary cleaning costs incurred during the rental period.

The Responsible Person shall ensure that the cottage is returned to the owner in the same clean and tidy condition in which it was handed over to them at the commencement of the rental period.

The responsible person shall ensure that the number of persons in each unit will not exceed that stated in the accommodation details.  The owner reserves the right to require the Responsible Person to ask additional persons to leave.

The Responsible person will be personally liable for any damage to the property and for any breakages.  At the owners discretion a Security Deposit against accidental damage and excessive cleaning costs may be required to be paid either with the balance of the rental or with the full rental payment.  The Security Deposit will be refundable (less costs) 7 days following the guests' departure.

We welcome children but guests must be responsible for their children's safety and take particular care near the fenced pond below the wooded area.

On receipt of notice of cancellation we will seek to re-let the property for the period of the booking.  If we succeed in re-letting the property for the whole period we shall refund all monies paid less an administration of £25 (plus V.A.T.)  If we only succeed in re-letting the property for part of the period booked we shall refund an amount equal to the money paid less (a) the rental for the period which is not re-let and (b) and administration charge of £25 (plus V.A.T.).  If we are unable to re-let the property at all, then the monies paid by the client shall be forfeited.  We strongly recommend clients take out Cancellation Insurance.  In the extremely unlikely event of the owners having to cancel a booking, the owners' liability will be limited to the immediate return in full of all monies paid.
