01/07/20 - Coronavirus (COVID-19) update

The health and wellbeing of our guests is our priority and we’re monitoring the developing situation relating to Coronavirus (COVID-19). We continue to follow Government advice and we are keen to inform and protect our guests as much as possible. We appreciate it is potentially a very worrying time for travellers with the situation developing on a daily basis. With this in mind we have put a temporary cancellation policy in place, that will hopefully help to alleviate some of our potential guests concerns. This new policy applies to all holidays directly affected by Coronavirus (COVID-19).

You should not travel to us if you are showing ANY symptoms of COVID-19.

If the government informs us that we have to close or if you have to self-isolate due to you, or members of your family showing symptoms of COVID-19 then you will receive a credit note for any deposit or full holidays paid. This can be put towards any stay arriving before 17th March 2022, or 1 year from your original booking, whichever is the latest date. If guests would like a refund, we kindly ask that you use their Travel Insurance, either as a specific policy or as a benefit you may have with a credit card or bank account.

If once you arrive if you, or any member of your party start developing symptoms of COVID-19, you must follow the latest government guidelines. If this means staying in your property for longer than your original booking, additional charges will be made (as per the advertised cost).

If a previous guest has developed symptoms and stay in place has been ordered, then we reserve the right to cancel your holiday without notice. You will recieve a full refund and a big apology!

Cancellation policy after 4th July 2020 and not directly affected by Coronavirus (COVID-19)

2. YOUR BOOKING

All offers and bookings are subject to availability. The party leader must be at least 18 years of age at the time of booking. Your booking is made as a consumer and you agree that no liability can be accepted by the Owner for any expenses, costs, losses, claims or other sums of any description which relate to any business, howsoever suffered or incurred by you. When the owner issues a written confirmation to you, this signifies that the Owner has entered into a contract with you, which is subject to these conditions. The owner has the right to refuse any booking prior to the point of your written confirmation, and if the owner does this, the owner will tell you in writing and promptly refund any money you have paid. When you receive your confirmation, the details must be checked carefully. If anything is not correct, you should tell the owner immediately.

You are responsible to the Owner for the actual costs of any damage in or to the property, along with any additional costs that may result – which are caused by you/and or members of your holiday rental party, and the Owner can require payment from you to cover any such costs.
