Terms & Conditions

The Terms and Conditions stated below will only apply if the booking is handled direct by the owner of Field Cottage. If the booking is processed by the holiday agent acting on behalf of Field Cottage, then the agents Terms and Conditions will apply.

Booking and Payment

• A booking for the property will be provisionally held for 7 days, pending receipt of a completed booking form and a deposit of one third the total fee or full payment. Payment is to be made via cheque in pounds sterling issued by a UK bank. The proprietor reserves the right to decline any booking which they feel is unsuitable for the property.
• The balance of payment is required no later than 6 weeks prior to the start of the booking. In addition, I must regrettably request a separate cheque for £100, which will be held as a deposit against breakages or other damage for the duration of the stay. Non payment at this time may be deemed as a cancellation of the booking by the hirer. Full directions to the property will be sent on completion of payment.
• If the booking is cancelled in writing at least 6 weeks before the start date, then a refund will be made of any payment made less the deposit. No refund will be made if the booking is cancelled within 6 weeks of the start date. We strongly recommend that you take out a cancellation insurance policy through your own insurance broker.
• The number of people staying at the property must not exceed those booked and the proprietor reserves the right to order any unauthorized persons off the premises.

The Property
