1. Period of Hire – Letting commences at 4pm on the day or arrival and terminates at 10am on the day of departure. This is to allow time for the property to be prepared for you.

Payment will be required in full four weeks prior to arrival.  If booking is within four weeks of arrival, then payment is required in full at the time of booking. Non payment of any balance due by this time will mean the Owner will hold the contract as terminated allowing the cottage to be available for re-letting.
