BOOKING


A deposit of 50% of the property rental is required at the time of the booking. No contract with us will exist until we have received this amount and the booking form duly signed and have consequently confirmed your booking. Should you later cancel, cancellation charges will become payable as stated below.

PAYMENT OF THE REMAINING BALANCE


The balance of the payment must be paid at least eight (8) weeks before your arrival. If the balance is not received by us by the due date, we shall be entitled to cancel the booking without prejudice to our claim for cancellation charges and to retain the deposit. For bookings made within eight (8) weeks of arrival date, you will be required to pay the full cost of your holiday at the time of booking.

CANCELLATION BY YOU


It is agreed between us that should you wish to cancel all or any part of your booking, or that the booking is cancelled by us due to non-payment, then we shall be entitled to the following percentage of the holiday cost: 8 weeks or more before arrival = 30 % (non-refundable deposit) 8 weeks or less before arrival = 100 % (deposit & balance). All cancellations must be sent to us in writing and signed by the signatory of the booking form. Security deposit will be fully refunded.

CANCELLATION OR ALTERATIONS BY US

Although it is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to confirmed arrangements, we will advise you at the earliest possible date. If for any reason beyond our control we are unable to provide you with the property you have booked, we reserve the right to transfer to a similar or better property. However, if this is not possible or you do not wish to be transferred, we will cancel the booking and refund the amount paid to us for the property, but we will not be liable for any cancellation charges for travel arrangements.

Furthermore, clients who decide to leave the property earlier without our knowledge lose all rights to any eventual refund or rebate.
