Booking Conditions

To be read before completing our Printable Booking Form

Conditions of Tenancy
Bookings are accepted for a minimum of one week, from Saturday to Saturday, or by arrangement, from Sunday to Sunday. Extra nights will be charged at one-seventh of the weekly rate. The tenancy will be from 1600 hrs on the day of arrival to 1000 hrs on the day of departure. The tenant will not sub-let the property and will take every reasonable precaution to prevent damage to the structure for which he will be responsible, fair wear and tear excepted. The tenant will be obliged to pay for all broken or missing contents, including fixtures and fittings, and is expected to leave the accommodation as he/she would wish to find it. The Estate reserves the right to charge for extra cleaning if necessary. The number in the party must not exceed the number of beds provided in the property booked.

Payment Terms
Rents for cottages are fully inclusive of bed linen, towels, electricity, heating costs, coal and VAT. A deposit of 40% of total rent is payable on booking, the balance due one month before arrival. Payment should be made by cheque in pounds sterling (£), made payable to Mr J.M.M. Humphrey. Please note we are unable to accept payment by credit card. One dog is accepted at all properties, with the exception of the months of April and May at Clearfield, and will be charged at £7.50 per week.

Cancellation
The balance of the rent is due irrespective of cancellation unless the Estate is successful in re-letting, when the deposit will be refunded, less a £10 administration charge.

Notes
Tenants are expected to use fuel and electricity as they would in their own homes, but where excessive amounts are consumed, the Estate reserves the right to make a charge. Where a telephone is provided, the tenant is requested to pay for phone calls and any films viewed on Sky Box Office, where Sky TV is provided. If, due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, the Estate is unable to provide the tenant with the cottage or a suitable alternative, a refund of the deposit will be made, but the tenant shall have no further claim upon the Estate.
