Lavender Cottage Booking Terms and Conditions

Bookings via this site are subject to the following terms and conditions as agreed to at the time of booking.

A contract between the client (you) and the owners (us) will come into existence when we receive payment and accept your booking by issuing a confirmation of booking for the holiday dates shown in the rental agreement. The contract binds you & all the members of your party. It is your responsibility to ensure that all members of your party accept the terms of the contract set out in these terms & conditions of booking. Failure to disclose all relevant information or comply with these terms may lead to termination of the contract & loss of the booking.

A non-refundable deposit of 25% of the holiday price is payable at the time of booking. Bookings made less than eight weeks before your arrival date must be accompanied by the full amount of the holiday charge and the refundable damage deposit (if requested).

The balance must be paid so as to arrive no later than eight weeks before the commencement of your holiday. If the balance is not received by the due date then your holiday will be treated as a cancellation and the client will remain liable to pay the balance of the charge due.

All cancellations must be immediately notified by email and then in writing. If you cancel your holiday more than 6 weeks before it is due to start then your non-refundable deposit will be forfeit. If you cancel less than 6 weeks prior to the holiday then the full balance remains due and is not refundable. 

We strongly advise that you take out comprehensive travel insurance. If you choose not to then you accept responsibility for any loss that you may incur due to your cancellation.

Your booking will not be cancelled by us except in exceptional circumstances beyond our control. Notification will be given of the cancellation as soon as possible and we will promptly refund in full all payments made to us for your holiday. Our liability for cancellation will be limited to payments made to us.

The number of persons using the accommodation at any time must not exceed four persons, and only those people listed on the booking form can occupy the apartment. We reserve the right to terminate the booking without notice and without refund in case of a breach of this condition.

Bookings cannot be accepted from persons under eighteen years of age.

We (the owner) reserve the right to refuse a booking without giving any reason.

We or our authorised representative reserve the right to enter the apartment at any time to undertake essential maintenance or for inspection purposes.

Tenancies normally commence at 4pm unless otherwise agreed and guests are required to vacate the property by 10am on the day of departure. This allows the accommodation to be thoroughly cleaned and prepared for incoming guests. On departure please ensure all rubbish is paced in the black bin outside or in additional bin bags alongside the black bin if full.

Smoking anywhere inside the premises is not permitted and breach of this condition will result in immediate termination of occupancy and forfeiture of all payments. This must be strictly adhered to and any damage or extra cleaning caused by smoking will be at the expense of you. Smoking is allowed outside in the private courtyard.

Damage deposit – In making a booking you accept responsibility for any theft, breakage or damage caused by you or any member of your party and agree to indemnify us in full for any loss that we may incur as a result. The security deposit (if requested) will be returned within 14 days of the end of your holiday less the cost of damage/breakages.

Damage to property – Please treat the facilities & accommodation with due care so that other guests may continue to enjoy them. In the event that you notice damage in your accommodation please let us know immediately so that we can take the appropriate action. If there have been any breakages during your stay, we would be grateful if you could replace them or advise us before you leave. The accommodation will be inspected at the end of the holiday & you may be charged for any loss or damage found.

Please lock the doors and close the windows when you leave your property unoccupied.

We reserve the right to make a charge to cover additional cleaning costs if you leave the property in an unacceptable condition.

Please note that in the event that any keys issued are not left in the key safe or promptly returned at the end of your stay, then the cost of their replacement will be charged to you.

You may in no circumstance re-let or sublet the property, even free of charge.

The internet connection is available (at no extra cost) subject to technical availability. We will not be liable for any improper or criminal misuse of this service.

All inventory must remain in the property it was in at arrival and not be taken to another property.

Children under 18 must be supervised by their parents/guardians at all times.

We reserve the right to terminate a holiday without compensation where the unreasonable behaviour of the persons named on the booking (or their guests) may impair the enjoyment, comfort or health of others.

Any problem or complaint which the client may have concerning their holiday must be immediately reported directly to us/our representative and we will endeavour to put matters right. Any complaints not reported to us/our representative at the time and only reported after the client has returned from holiday will not be considered by the proprietor.
