Short breaks must be paid for in full when being booked.

Upon payment of the deposit and subject to acceptance of the booking, the applicant becomes liable for the balance of the rent 6 weeks before for the period of letting and the additional ‘breakage deposit’ (see below). Payment must be made at least 7 working days before occupancy or, in the circumstances of a short break, by cash on arrival.

All bookings are accepted on the condition that the property is left in the same state of repair, order and cleanliness both inside and outside as at the start of the holiday, and that the person who made the booking will pay for breakage and / or damage and extra cleaning if so required.
