2. To reserve the Property, the Guest should complete the booking form on line or by emailing a copy to the Owner and transferring the initial non-refundable booking rental deposit of £100 (the “Booking Rental Deposit”). On receipt of the completed Booking Form and Booking Rental Deposit, the Owner will, if the Property is still available, confirm formal acceptance of the booking.

3.

The Guest is requested to replace anything damaged or destroyed by them or a member of their party during their stay, subject to which the Owner will repay the Guest’s Security Deposit on their departure from the Property.

4. If the Guest has not paid the Net Rental Final Balance and the Security Deposit by the Due Date, the Owner reserves the right to cancel the Guest’s booking. The Guest will remain liable to pay the balance of the Net Rental Final Balance unless the Owner is able to re-let the Property. In this event Clause 5 of these Booking Terms and Conditions will apply.

5. Subject to Clauses 2, 3 and 4, if the Owner is able to re-let the Property then any amounts paid by the Guest to the Owner will be reimbursed subject to deduction by the Owner of the Rental Deposit Paid together with deduction of any additional costs, expenses or losses incurred in re-letting the Property. The Guest is strongly recommended to arrange a comprehensive travel insurance policy (including cancellation cover) for all risks that they could be exposed to.
