•Your holiday may be reserved by telephone, letter or email. Your chosen date will only be held upon receipt of your deposit, which will be 30% of your total reservation cost.

• The final balance will be due in full, eight weeks before the booked date of arrival. A damage bond of £200 for The Grange and £75 for Doveholes Cottage is required to be paid with the final balance.

• In the event of cancellation by the guest, fees are non-refundable unless the property is re-let, in which case payments will be refunded less a £50 administrative fee and any shortfall due to accepting a lower price for a late booking. You are advised to consider insuring against these eventualities.

• The property will be inspected prior to your arrival and any defects pointed out. Any further defects found when guests leave will be charged to the hirer. For any accommodation defects that occur whilst guests are in residence please contact the owner immediately in order for repairs to be carried out and damage minimised.

• The properties are let on a self-catering basis – this means guests are expected to leave the property in the same clean and tidy condition as it was on arrival. Cleaning tools and materials are provided, but if you need more please ask. All utensils and crockery should be washed up and put away in the correct location, playing cards and games put away with all pieces intact, the cottage cleaned and all furniture put back in the correct place.

We have 3 cots in total between the properties – please check availability for your dates. The number of guests booked in must not be exceeded except by agreement with the owner prior to arrival. There will be an extra charge for numbers above the permanent bed sleeping capacity. Failure to notify the owner of extra occupancy may result in the reservation being cancelled and guests being required to vacate the property.
