The above property, owned by Mr. & Mrs. G. Waterfall (“us” or “our” or “we”), is offered to you, the party leader as named on the booking form (“you” or “your”), for holiday rental subject to these terms and conditions.
To reserve the Property, you should complete and submit the booking form. Once your reservation has been confirmed you will be sent payment details when you will need to transfer an initial non-refundable deposit, as outlined in the payment details, into our bank account. Following receipt of the deposit, we will send you a confirmation email which will be our formal acceptance of your booking.
The non-refundable balance of the rent, as outlined in the payment details, together with the security deposit (see section 5 below) is payable not less than 8 weeks before the start of the rental period. If payment is not received by the due date, we reserve the right to cancel your booking, notice of which will be sent to you by email. You will remain liable for the payment of the balance of the rent unless we are able to re-let the Property for the whole of your original rental period. In this event, section 6 of these terms & conditions will apply. Reservations made within 8 weeks of the start of the rental period require full payment at the time of booking.
Any chargeable expense arising during the rental period should be settled with us or our agent before departure. Failure to do so will result in the charge, together with an administration fee not exceeding 10% of the charge, being deducted from your security deposit.
A security deposit of £300 is required in case of damage to the property or its contents. However, the sum reserved by this clause shall not limit your liability to us. We will account to you for the security deposit and refund the balance due within two weeks after the end of the rental period.
Subject to clauses 2 and 3 above, in the event of a cancellation, refunds of amounts paid will be made if we are able to re-let the Property for the whole of your original rental period. Any expenses or losses incurred in so doing will be deducted from the refundable amount. We strongly recommend that you take out travel insurance to cover all of your liabilities, including cancellation cover for the non-refundable deposit and balance as detailed in sections 2 & 3 above, since these may not be covered by our insurance.
The rental period shall commence at 4.00pm on the first day and finish at 10.00am on the last day of your booking. We shall not be obliged to offer the accommodation before the earliest time stated and you shall not be entitled to remain in occupation after the latest time stated.
The maximum number to reside overnight in the Property must not exceed the number stated in our property description plus one cot unless we have given you written permission.
You agree to be a considerate tenant and to take good care of the Property and to leave it in a clean and tidy condition at the end of the rental period. Although a final clean is included in our prices, we reserve the right to retain any additional cleaning costs from the security deposit if you leave the Property in an unacceptable condition. You also agree not to act in any way which would cause disturbance to residents in neighbouring properties.
You must report to us, or our agent, any defects in the Property or breakdown in the equipment, plant, machinery or appliances in the Property, garden or swimming pool, and arrangements for the repair and/or replacement will be made as soon as possible.
