Terms and Conditions

To make a reservation:

Simply make a request online through email. If dates are available we will forward a payment link and you can reserve the accommodation with your payment. We will then forward you a confirmation by email with all the details relevant to your booking.  No booking is confirmed until a confirmation has been sent.

The property will be available from 4pm on the day of arrival until 11 am on the day of departure.  In certain circumstances we can arrange earlier occupancy, but this is by prior agreement only.  There is no provision for a late checkout. 

The following are included in our rates:

Rental on days as agreed

All Electricity, hot water and central heating

Linen and towels

Weekly change of linen/towels

 

Cancellation Policy & Charges for Damage/Misuse

We feel it is important to make guests aware of their liabilities in the event of having to cancel a pre-booked stay. All cancellations must be made in writing including  email and you will receive confirmation that your cancellation has been received.  We do not accept cancellations by phone.

As a small business we are particularly vulnerable to guests who cancel close to the day of their arrival or curtail their stay for whatever reason and we advise all guests to avail of travel insurance which includes cancellation cover.  If a guest cancels less than four weeks in advance of their arrival or curtails their stay for whatever reason, we reserve the right to charge the full price of the booking.  In this event where we have enough time to replace the booking with an alternative, revenue earned will be used to offset some, or all, of the cancellation charges (less any ancillary costs). We reserve the right to cancel any booking at any time and in this event our liabilities are limited to a full refund of any monies paid.  If guests do not accept these terms and conditions they are able to cancel their booking within 24 hours of sending a confirmation without incurring penalties.  Failure to do so implies acceptance of these conditions.

If a guest does not arrive by 18.00 we always endeavour to contact the guest.  If a guest is not contactable and has not arrived by 18.00 we reserve the right to treat the booking as a cancellation and cancellations charges apply. 

Housekeeping Issues

The property is cleaned and inspected prior to each arrival.  Our staff are only human and therefore we accept that on rare occasions something might have been missed or overlooked.  If this is the case, the renter must inform us without delay so that this can be remedied.  Failure to do this implies complete satisfaction with the property.

Pets

We do not allow pets on the property.
