The owners will accept a provisional booking and reserve the house for your holiday provided that we receive a deposit of £100 per week from you within 7 working days. A confirmation of your booking will be sent by post or email, upon receipt of this deposit. The balance of the cost of the holiday is due 30 days before you arrive. No further reminders will be sent. The full rental cost is required if your stay is less than 30 days after booking.
Once you have booked your holiday, our agreement with you is a legal contract. If you cannot go on holiday and the house cannot be re-let, you are liable to pay for the booking in full, even if you cancel before paying the balance. If we succeed in re-letting the house for that same period, we will deduct from you what you owe us (or refund to you) any such rentals received less your deposit, which is always non-refundable. Any cancellation must be confirmed to the owners in writing. For these reasons we strongly recommend that you take out cancellation insurance for your holiday. Non-availability of house as booked
We would only cancel your holiday if the house was unavailable for reasons beyond our reasonable control. We would attempt to notify you of possible alternative accommodation in the area and refund to you all monies paid for the holiday. Our liability to you would not extend beyond this refund.
Your accommodation will be ready for you from 4.00pm on the day of arrival, unless otherwise agreed in advance. Early arrival is not permitted unless agreed prior to the day of arrival.
We strictly require that you vacate the house by 10am on the morning of your departure. To assist our cleaners and ensure prompt entry for our next guests, we ask that you leave the property in a clean and tidy condition.
The use of Linen is inclusive in your holiday cost.
An honesty box is provided for payment for the following sundry costs incurred during your stay as follows:
We do not accept responsibility for injury to persons or loss/damage to possessions unless caused by proven negligent act or omission of ourselves, our employees or contractors, or agents of the same, whilst acting in the course of their employment.

The sauna is in the corner of the Games Room. Light and heater switches are on the wall to the right of the door. Allow approx half hour for the sauna to heat up before use. The heater is expensive to run so please remember to turn off to avoid creating a big electricity bill payable at the end of your stay. Water may be poured in small quantities on the heater to create the desired humidity. Children under 12 are not permitted to use the sauna under any circumstances for safety reasons, and teenagers should be supervised at all times. You are advised not to use the sauna for more than 15–30 minutes maximum. Pregnant women and those with health conditions (eg heart problems or high blood pressure) which may be affected by the sauna are advised not to use it. Persons using it do so at their own risk and the owners accept no liability for any adverse effects caused by its use.
Please use this facility with respect.
You are advised that the pond is deep in places and therefore children and non swimmers should be supervised while outside at all times. No liability can be accepted by the owners of any accident incurred. Do not allow dogs to swim in the pond.
