GENERAL BOOKING TERMS and CONDITIONS
RENTAL PAYMENT
In order to confirm your booking a payment for 30% of the total rental fee must be made on the day of your verbal or emailed confirmation . We must receive the balance of rental fee by 6 weeks prior to the booking arrival date. If payment is not received by us in full and by the date given in our confirmation then we reserve the right to treat the booking as cancelled. In this case, cancellation charges as set out in the clause “Cancellation by you” will be applicable. NB No reminders of payment dates will be sent. Bookings received 6 weeks or less before the booking arrival date must be paid in full. Although we would not anticipate any costing errors on the confirmation invoice, should there be an obviously incorrect price shown, then we will issue a new invoice and will not be bound by the price shown on the incorrect invoice.
YOUR CONTRACT
A contract between you and the owners will come into existence when we receive payment and accept your booking by issuing a confirmation of booking for the holiday dates shown in the rental agreement. The contract binds you & all the members of your party. It is your responsibility to ensure that all members of your party accept the terms of the contract set out in these terms & conditions of booking. Failure to disclose all relevant information or comply with these terms may lead to termination of the contract & loss of the booking. This contract is governed by Welsh Law. It is mutually understood and agreed that any dispute, claim or any other matter that arises out of this contract or your holiday will be dealt with by the courts of England and Wales.
CANCELLATIONS – BY YOU (LEAD GUEST)
You may cancel your booking at any time. Cancellation must be communicated to us in writing and takes effect from the date received by us. In the event of cancellation then the following charges become applicable:
Less than 2 weeks prior to arrival date – 100% of full fee
Between 2‐3 weeks prior to arrival date – 90% of full fee
Between 4‐6 weeks prior to arrival date – 50% of full fee
CANCELLATIONS – BY US
It is extremely unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your property rental. However, occasionally we may have to make changes and reserve the right to do so at any time. Most of these changes would be minor and we will advise you of them as soon as they may be applicable. If we are forced to cancel the property rental because of force majeur or for any reason that makes the property unfit for rental, you will have the choice of either allowing us to try to locate a suitable alternative property on your behalf or of cancelling the booking and accepting a full refund of all monies paid to us. Please note that we are not liable for any consequential loss or incidental expenditure resulting from the cancellation of your holiday.
Our cancellation policy allows for full refunds if we are unable to open due to COVID-19 Lockdown restrictions or guests who are unable to travel due to COVID-19 travel or Lockdown travel restrictions from their address in the UK for all bookings in 2021.
INSURANCE
It is the responsibility of the Guests to ensure that their personal possessions are insured. We cannot accept any liability for theft of, loss of or damage to personal possessions. We also recommend that guests arrange adequate travel insurance for cover in case of cancellation (see CANCELLATIONS).
COMPLAINTS
Complaints must be reported immediately to the owners of the property or to their representatives thereby giving them the opportunity to rectify the problem during your stay. If the problem cannot be rectified during your stay, you must write to us within 28 days of departure giving full details of your complaint. We cannot accept complaints if you have not followed the course of action laid
down in this clause.
OCCUPATION OF THE PROPERTY
Only the named guests are permitted to use or stay in the property. If you are expecting overnight visitors, you must let us or our representatives know. You and your party must not exceed at any time the numbers of sleeping places.
