A deposit of £100.00 per week to be reserved is payable at the time of making a holiday booking and this is not refundable in the event of the Hirer cancelling the reservation. Cheques to be made payable to Mrs Cheryl Pilley. Once the £100.00 non-refundable deposit (plus any other money due at the time of booking – see booking form for details) is received with the completed and signed booking form the booking will then be confirmed by email, or post if no email address has been provided. If on receipt of the booking form and deposit we find we are unable to accommodate you the full amount of deposit will be returned to you.

If you wish the holiday period to be provisionally held for you please telephone or email for a "confirmation of availability" before sending your booking form. Provisional bookings will be held for 7 days to allow you to send your booking form and remittance. If the money and paperwork is not received from you within this period the holiday dates requested will be shown as available again.

The head of the party must be over the age of 18 at the time of placing the reservation.

If the Hirers are any other nationality other than British, Irish or Commonwealth Citizens , to comply with Immigration (Hotel Records) Order 1972, the following information must be provided for all Hirers over the age of 16 – Nationality, passport number and onward destination.

There is a non-refundable booking deposit of £100.00 per week reserved, which is to be paid with the submission of the booking form. This £100.00 deposit will become part payment of the balance due. Payment of the deposit assumes acceptance of the terms and conditions.

A binding contract exists once the Hirer has completed and submitted a booking form and received confirmation of the booking. It is vital that the details on the booking confirmation are checked immediately and any problems notified to us straight away. No booking is finalised until all money due including the deposit has been received.

The balance of payment is required no later than 8 weeks prior to the start of the holiday. The balance shall include a £100.00 damage bond. This will be posted back to the Hirer in the form of a cheque made payable to the head of the party within 14 working days of the end of the holiday, subject to the keys being returned and there being no excess cleaning charges or damage to the property or fittings. If there are deductions to be made then the return of any remaining bond money may be delayed. For bookings made less than 8 weeks before the start of the holiday, full payment plus the damage bond is required in full at the time of booking.

Bookings made within 5 days of the start of the holiday to be paid in cash as directed at the time of booking.
