2.1 When a booking is submitted via our online reservation system a booking summary will be sent by email to the email address provided in the booking form. This does not form a contract. A contract shall only arise when your booking is subsequently confirmed in writing via a letter of confirmation sent by post or email.
2.2 These Terms and Booking Conditions will be issued with the Confirmation Invoice. The making of a booking will form an agreement on these Terms and Conditions (the 'Agreement') between the Visitor and the owner for the holiday rental of the cottage shown in the Confirmation Invoice.

If the owner has not heard back from the Visitor within 4 weeks they shall have the right to terminate the booking. In such circumstances, the owner will be liable for the return of the deposit.

All payments can only be accepted in Pounds Sterling. Payments are accepted by UK or overseas issued Visa, or MasterCard, debit or credit card, by BACS or bill payment online.

Cancellation within 8 weeks of your holiday will forfeit 50% of the full hire amount paid.
Cancellation more than 8 weeks prior to your holiday will forfeit the paid deposit.
