Only you can discuss your booking (including any changes) with us – unless you give express consent in writing for us to contact someone else.
The booking must be for a holiday only: the property must not be used for gatherings, parties, events or business purposes.

We may agree to make a provisional booking for you. We would hold the dates for 7 days after which the dates will be released if payment not received.
If your booking is made:

- we must then receive the balance by the date set out in your booking confirmation (8 weeks before the holiday is due to begin)
- less than 8 weeks from the start date of your holiday, you must pay the total amount.
If the final amount is not paid by the due date we shall try to contact you by telephone and/or send an email reminder. If you fail to make payment or contact within 7 days of the final reminder we will assume you are in effect cancelling your booking and the cancellation charges below will apply.

Cancellation insurance – we strongly recommend you take this out before your holiday.

If you wish to cancel a confirmed booking you must notify us by email or by post. Cancellation will take effect from the day we receive your notification.
If you notify us more than 180 days before the start date of your booking we will return the amount received less £30 administration fee.
If you notify us 180 days or less before the start date we will try to re-let the property.
If we are successful in reletting all or part of the period booked, you will be reimbursed fully less £50 administration fee and any difference of the rental received. In order to re-let the property we reserve the right to discount the period booked, or re-let part of it, at our discretion.

If we cannot re-let the property then the charges below will apply from the cancellation date:
