Frequently Asked Questions

+ How do I book?

    Once you have found a property on our website which suits your requirements and the website indicates that it is available, you can book directly online. Just follow the instructions as detailed in the ‘To Book’ Tab. This will lead you to a form to complete with your details. A booking deposit of £150 per week is required with full payment 8 weeks before your stay.  If your stay starts less than 8 weeks before your booking date, the full amount is due immediately. You can pay by credit card or bank transfer. If you have any problems you can call us on 01929 471087 or 07973 189395 to reserve your property.  Our telephone lines are open 7 days a week until 10 pm.
    You can pay by Debit or Credit cards via PayPal, (you do not need a PayPal Account) or by you can pay by your own PayPal account; or by bank transfer or cheque. All payments must have cleared prior to the booking commencing.
    We normally charge a refundable damage deposit of £100 per booking for up to 2 weeks stay. A higher damage deposit may be made for longer stays and for stays between November and March when we charge extra for gas and electricity.  The damage deposit is normally refunded within 10 days after the end of your stay less any charges for damage or additional cleaning. Full details of damage deposits are contained in the Booking Terms.
     If you have to cancel your booking, the £150 booking deposit is normally non-returnable. 

    Otherwise if the cancellation is within 8 weeks of your start date the full accommodation cost remains due. We therefore strongly recommend that you take out holiday cancellation insurance. This is available at low cost from a number of sources on the Internet. In the event of a cancellation we will try to re-let the house and, if successful, will refund any monies paid less the 25% booking deposit which is non-refundable and a 15% administration charge.
