Bookings made at this property are made under the followings terms:
BOOKING CONDITIONS
General
Clients applying to hire the property are referred to as The Applicants until such time as they take up residence when they are referred to as The Tenants. R. Lowe and P. Joyce of Claycott, Abbotsham, are the owners of the property and any contract will be between The Owners on one part and The Applicants or The Tenants on the other.
__________________________________________________________________________
Deposit If a booking is made eight weeks or more before the tenancy is due to start, it must be accompanied by a deposit of 30% of the rent. If a booking is made less than eight weeks before arrival, the full rent must be paid at the time of booking. In the event of a booking not being accepted, all fees paid will be refunded immediately.
Final Payment Once the booking is received and accepted by The Owners, The Applicants are liable for payment of the balance of the rent eight weeks before the start of the tenancy. Non-payment by the due date may be treated as a cancellation and the deposit will be forfeit. The balance due date is on the Booking Confirmation.
Cancellation All cancellations must be notified in writing. The Owners will take every opportunity to rebook the cancelled dates. If a new booking is secured, repayment in full or repayment less any late availability discount needed to secure the new booking will be made to The Applicants, less a £50 administration charge. It is strongly recommended that holiday insurance is taken out to cover cancelled bookings as rebooking cannot be guaranteed.
If no new booking can be secured, a cancellation refund will be payable based on the number of days before the holiday start date the cancellation notice is received by The Owners and is as specified in the following:
Number of days before Cancellation Charge (as
holiday start date that percentage of the total
notification is received holiday cost)
0-25 days 100% of the holiday cost is forfeit
26-55 days 75%
56 days or more Only the deposit will be kept by the owner
Non availability of the Property If for reasons beyond The Owners' control the property is not available on the date booked (owing to fire damage, for example), or the property is unsuitable for holiday letting, all rent paid in advance by The Applicants will be refunded through The Owners' insurance, but The Applicants shall have no further claim.
Eligibility Bookings will not be accepted from groups of single persons under the age of 25. All-male or all-female parties are welcome but must be agreed with the owner in advance.
The Tenancy confers upon The Tenants the right to occupy for a holiday within the meaning of Schedule 1, Paragraph 9 of the Housing Act 1988.

2. To pay for any extra cleaning required, for losses or damage to the property, or for any miscellaneous breakages caused by The Tenants or a member of their party (reasonable wear & tear excluded), unless the cost of making good can be fully recovered from the £200 deposit.
