- In all circumstances the Contract of Letting is between the guest ("the Guest") and the Owner.
- The Owner accepts no responsibility for personal injury to, or death of, any Guests, or loss of or consequential loss or damage to their property.
- This agreement is made on the basis that the property ("the Property") is to be occupied by the Guests for a holiday as mentioned in the Housing Act 1988 Schedule 1 paragraph 9 and the Guests acknowledge that the tenancy granted by this agreement is not an assured tenancy and that no statutory periodic tenancy will arise when it ends.
- Bookings cannot be accepted from persons under 18 years of age.
- Any pets you intend to take with you should be declared at the time of booking and checked and authorised via the owner.
- A deposit of 1/3rd of the cost of the holiday ("Deposit") must accompany the booking confirmation.

- The Owner reserves the right to re-let any holiday where any monies due are more than 14 days in arrears whereupon any monies paid by the Guest over and above the deposit will be refunded. However, if the Owner is unable to re-let the holiday the Guest will remain liable for the outstanding balance of the cost of the holiday.
- In the event of the accommodation becoming unavailable, the Owner will endeavour to provide the Guest with suitable alternative accommodation or will refund all monies paid or a proportion in the case of curtailment. We cannot, however pay any compensation or expenses as a consequence of such an event.

- Guests wishing to take pets on holiday must abide by the following rules: Well-behaved dogs are usually permitted but must be checked with us prior to booking.However young pets i.e. puppies MUST be declared to the Owner at the time of booking and authorised by the Owner. If a puppy or young pet is taken to a property without the consent of the Owner this could result in you being asked to leave without compensation. When booking online it is advised you check the acceptance of your pet by telephoning the Owner.

- Dogs must be under strict control at all times while in the property.
- Any fouling of areas etc. must be cleared up without delay.

- In the event of there being cause for complaint concerning a Property, the matter shall be taken up with the Owner at once. It is important that this is done whilst you are still at the Property so that an on-the-spot investigation can be made if necessary and remedial action taken if required.
