Should you wish to make a provisional
booking (postal or online) we will hold your accommodation available
for seven days upon confirmation. All such provisional bookings will
be deemed cancelled unless your deposit is not received within this
period. |
| 5. |
A deposit of £100 per week booked
payable at the time of booking is required (this will be refunded
if we can not accept your booking). The balance of the total rent
is due 6 weeks prior to commencement of the letting period booked
(reminders are not sent out). If booking is less than 6 weeks in advance
the total payment is payable at time of booking. |

Upon payment of the deposit and subject
to acceptance of the booking the applicant becomes liable for the
balance of the letting fee for the full period of the letting. |
| 7. |
Non payment of the balance of the letting
fee payable in advance as provided above on or before the due date
shall be deemed to be a cancellation of the arrangements of the applicant. |
| 8. |
Payments can be made by cheque (payable
to Shirley Simcock) or cash. |
| 9. |
The Owners regret that once the deposit
or the full letting fee has been paid they will be unable to refund
any monies and therefore strongly recommend that a cancellation insurance
policy is taken out with an independent agent. |
| 10. |
The Owners give all information and make
all statements in good faith and use their best endeavour to check,
as far as is reasonably possible, all information given to the applicants.
The Owners shall not however, in any event, be liable for any damage
or loss resulting from information given or statements made whether
orally or in writing. |
| 11. |
The number of people occupying the cottage
must not exceed the maximum number stated (7 people) in the property
description (children under 2 are not normally considered as members
of the party). |

The Hirer undertakes to keep the premises
and all furniture, fixtures, fittings and effects in or on the premises
in the same state of repair and condition as at the commencement of
the letting (reasonable wear and tear accepted) and shall report and
pay the Owners the value of any part so destroyed or damaged as to
be incapable of being restored to its former condition. |

The Hirer agrees: |
| a. |
to be responsible for leaving the accommodation
in good order and clean condition, otherwise a cleaning charge will
be levied. |
| b. |
not to cause nuisance or annoyance to
occupants of nearby homes. |
| c. |
to allow reasonable access to the property
by the Owners or representative if it is deemed necessary. |
| 14. |
If in the opinion of the Owners any person
is not suitable to continue their occupancy of the property because
of unreasonable behaviour, damage or nuisance to other parties, the
Hirer may be discharged and the Owners may repossess the property
immediately. The Hirer will remain liable for the whole cost of hire
and no refund shall be due. |
| 15. |
The Hirer must pay the Owners before or
upon departure for any items not included within the hire cost. |

Animals are not allowed, an exception
is made for guide dogs. |

Complaints. If in the opinion of the Hirer
there are grounds for complaint, it is the duty of the Hirer to take
it up with the Owners or representative immediately and in any event
before departure to allow remedial action to be taken. It is specifically
agreed that failure by the Hirer to notify the Owners of any complaint
within this timescale, will entitle the Owners to refuse to entertain
the complaint, irrespective of its merits. |
| 18. |
The cottage is used as holiday accommodation
and therefore exempt from security of tenure under the Rent Act. The
Owners shall be under no liability for any act, neglect or default
from any loss, damage, expense, accident, injury or inconvenience
whether to persons or to property which the applicant or any other
persons may suffer or sustain out of any such letting. |

owing to storm, fire or other causes beyond their control. |
