Term & Conditions
Booking Policy
A minimum stay of two nights applies. A deposit of 25% of the total booking price - non refundable deposit is required to secure your reservation. The remaining balance is payable no later than 30 days before arrival.
Security Deposit & Damage
A £1,000 security deposit is payable during the week of your arrival.
Please let us know promptly about any damage or breakages. Accidents happen, and early notice helps us put things right.
We will check the house after your departure and return your deposit within 48 hours of check-out, less any reasonable repair or replacement costs for damage caused during your stay, allowing for fair wear and tear. We will explain any deductions within that time. If these costs exceed £1,000, you may be responsible for the additional amount.
Smoking Policy
Please do not smoke inside the house.
Guest Numbers & Dogs
Your booking covers the number of guests agreed with us. Any additional guests or visitors require prior agreement.
Dogs are welcome by prior agreement. Please let us know when enquiring if you would like to bring a dog.
Arrival & Departure
Check-in is from 4pm. Please check out by 10am on your departure day.
Waste & Recycling
Please use the blue wheelie bins for accepted recyclable items, the black wheelie bins for non-recyclable waste and the small grey bins for food waste. Please follow the recycling instructions provided at the house.
Noise
We want you to enjoy your stay while being considerate of the village. Sound travels in the countryside, especially at night. Please keep outdoor noise low in the evening after 9pm and move livelier celebrations indoors, keeping music at a considerate volume.
Swimming Pool
Our heated outdoor swimming pool is open from April to September.
Please follow the pool safety instructions provided. Children must be supervised by a responsible adult whenever they are in or around the pool.
Please keep glass away from the pool. Plastic glasses and plates are available in the games room cupboard.
Bring your own swimming towels and replace the pool cover at night, following the instructions provided at the house.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
