All bookings are accepted under the following terms.

Castlegate Cottages is a trading name belonging to Mrs H. Litten, the Property Owner.

1.        HOLIDAY CONFIRMATION AND PAYMENT

  • Upon the Property Owner issuing a holiday confirmation for the property to the Holidaymaker, a binding contract shall exist between the Holidaymaker and the Property Owner subject to these booking conditions.
  • A holiday confirmation will be issued to the Holidaymaker upon receipt by the Property Owner of a written, telephone or E-mail booking, together with a deposit in respect of 50% of the total rental charge. The balance of such rental charge shall be paid to the Property Owner 6 weeks (42 days) prior to the commencement of the holiday (the due date is stated clearly in the holiday confirmation form sent to the Holidaymaker). Short Breaks of less than 7 nights are payable in full. Where the Property Owner has not received the balance by the due date the Property Owner reserves the right to cancel the holiday booking and to forfeit the deposit paid by the Holidaymaker and the Holidaymaker shall have no claim against the Property Owner for compensation or reimbursement whatsoever.
  • Bookings received by the Property Owner in respect of holidays due to commence within six weeks thereafter must be accompanied by payment of the rental charge for the holiday period in full.
  • The prices stated apply for payments made by cheque.  Supplementary charges may apply for other payment methods.

2.        CHANGES OR CANCELLATION BY THE HOLIDAYMAKER

  • Immediately upon receipt of the holiday confirmation from the Property Owner, the Holidaymaker should check the details and notify the Property Owner immediately of any correction as soon as possible;

  • That the property will be used solely for the purpose of a holiday by the Holidaymaker and his party;
  • To show due consideration for other parties.

If this happens the Property Owner shall treat the holiday as being cancelled by the Holidaymaker and the Holidaymaker shall have no claim against the Property Owner for compensation or reimbursement whatsoever.
  • To allow the Property Owner or his representatives access to the property at any reasonable time during the period of the holiday;
  • To keep the property and all furniture, utensils, equipment, fixtures and fittings in or on the property in the same state of repair and condition as at the commencement of the holiday and to ensure that at the end of the holiday the property is left in the same state of order and cleanliness in which it was found. The Property Owner reserves the right to levy an additional charge for any extra cleaning required after the Holidaymaker’s occupancy.

If this happens the Property Owner shall treat the holiday as being cancelled by the Holidaymaker and the Holidaymaker shall have no claim against the Property Owner for compensation or reimbursement whatsoever.
