Arrival and Departure
Arrival and departure days are usually on fridays but short breaks and out of season bookings can start on any day to suit you.
Your cottage will be ready to take over from 3pm onwards at the beginning of your holiday. Please do not arrive early as time is needed to thoroughly clean and check everything between lets.
For the same reason, please note that you should leave your cottage before 10am on departure day. All the cottages are thoroughly cleaned on changeover days. However, because only a limited time is available, we ask that you leave the cottage and its contents clean and tidy.
Damage
All damages and breakages are the responsibility of the Hirer and their cost shall be refunded on demand. However, minor damage or breakages will not normally be charged.
Heating
All cottages have full central heating which is fully inclusive.
Linen
Linen is provided but you will need to bring your own beach towels. Cot linen is also provided.
Visitors with Mobility Difficulties
Please ring if you have guests with mobility difficulties and we can advise individually.
Pets
One pet may only be taken by prior arrangement in the winter months. A charge of £20 cash is made per booking. You are requested not to allow pets to foul the area around the property and to make sure they do not use the furniture or bedding.
Party Size
The maximum number of persons, as stated on the website should not be exceeded without permission. The owner reserves the right to refuse any booking from parties which may, in their opinion, be unsuitable for the property concerned. The Hirer is responsible for the property and is expected to take all responsible care of it. All utensils, etc must be cleaned and the property must be left clean and tidy at the end of the hire period.
Complaints Procedure
If the Hirer is not entirely satisfied with the accommodation offered, they should contact the House and we will attempt to solve the problem.
