Payment Terms

To confirm your booking, we require a  (non-refundable) deposit The amount of deposit varies (100 per week to 50% of the rental) depending
on the length of stay, the property, and the season. The actual deposit payable will be confirmed at the time of booking and in all cases is non-refundable. The total price confirmed at the time of booking is fixed. In the event of a large currency fluctuation(more than 10% fall in sterling against the euro) you may be offered either a full refund or asked to make a contribution. If the converse should happen no refund will be offered.

The full balance is due 8 weeks prior to your arrival date (unless stated otherwise in your booking confirmation) whether demanded by us or not, unless a later date for payment has been agreed. If this is not paid within 7 days of it being due, then we reserve the right to cancel the property booking without any refund or contact.

We will not accept responsibility for cash sent through the post. Payment can be made by bank transfer to our bank account (details available on request), or  by debit/credit card.

Arrival check in time is 16:00hrs and you should vacate the property no later than 11:00hrs on the day of departure.

Please note in some circumstances an additional fee can be agreed for late check-outs dependent upon your departure time and subject to the arrival time of the next guest. Upon making any reservations, please take into account that your flight may arrive in the early hours of the morning or late the previous evening, in which case, if you require immediate access to the  property, you should add an extra night to your rental period. This may equally apply to your departure, where your flight might leave late at night or early the next morning whereby you need to add extra night to your rental period. On all our properties it is possible to arrive late at night with access granted to the properties provided that the night in question has been paid for,.

Late check-outs are at the discretion of the property owner or property manager and availability of the property and cannot be confirmed in advance unless an extra day ispaid for.

All cancellations must be submitted to us in writing by email and will be considered effective from the date of receipt by us.

You may cancel your booking at any time; however, in addition to the non-refundable deposit which will not be refunded in any circumstances, a cancellation fee will apply as follows:

• From time of booking to 60 days before arrival date : Loss of deposit paid.

• 60-45 days before arrival: 50% of rental cost.

We will always try our best to help in the unlikely event that you need to cancel. In some circumstances, but entirely at our discretion, we will try to help mitigate or prevent substantial loss by allowing changes to reservations as suggested below.

Travel Insurance is strongly recommended to cover unexpected and unavoidable cancellation costs and should be taken out when you make a reservation.

Changes

We will allow changes to your reservation as long as it is more the 8 weeks before your stay date. 

Changes within 8 weeks will only be considered on an exceptional basis and purely at our discretion although we will try our very best to help as long as in doing so it does not mean substantial financial loss to our company.

If you choose to change to an alternative property and/or change date we will do our best to help you. If you change to a more expensive
property you will be asked to pay any difference in cost and any potential loss in profit from our side. If you change to a cheaper property than the original booking no price reduction will be made although at our discretion we may consider some reduction. We will allow you to change the name on the reservation free of charge at any point.
