OCCUPYING THE PROPERTY
Your cottage is available for occupation from 4.00 pm on the first day of your booking and must be vacated by 10.00 am on the last day. The owner shall permit you, and the members of your party as named on the booking form only (and no-one else), to occupy the property for holiday purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, the number of people in the property must at no time exceed the amount of people we have stated the property ‘sleeps’. No-one other than those named on the booking form may sleep at the property. DURING COVID Arrival Time is 5 pm and Departure Time is 9 am this is to ensure enough time to allow the required deep cleaning and anti viral fogging necessary to preserve cleanliness and health.
The owner reserves the right to refuse entry to the entire party or ask the party to leave without compensation should the tenant part with or share possession of the cottage except with those named on the booking form.
If you commit a serious breach of these Terms and Conditions of Booking the owner will have the right to terminate your booking. If you are already at the property, the owner may require you to vacate it at once. A serious breach may include failure to comply with the rules of the house or where your behaviour, or that of your guests’ behaviour, is likely to have an adverse effect upon those staying or living nearby the property. If you or your guests’ behaviour has made the possibility of your stay continuing untenable, you may be asked to leave immediately. Unless we are able to find someone else to rent the cottage for the remaining period, no refund of the fees you have paid will be returnable to you.
The tenant must permit the owners reasonable access to the cottage to affect emergency maintenance or resolve problems.

Our Terms and Conditions of Booking require that your cottage must be left clean and in good order as you found it. You will be responsible for any breakages.

The amount of the damage deposit may vary.
