PAYMENT & CONTRACT - A deposit 1/3 of the total price is
due with the Booking Form. This deposit is treated as part payment
of the total holiday price and is non-refundable (except as stated
in these Booking Conditions). When a reservation is made 42 days
or less before arrival, the full holiday price is payable on booking
and is similarly non-refundable. On of the completed Booking Form
and deposit (or full payment) we will forward our confirmation; it
is then that a contract exists between ourselves, Woodcombe Lodges
(The Owner), and the person who signed the booking form (The Hirer).
If a booking is not accepted, the deposit (or price paid) will be
refunded in full. The balance of the holiday price is payable 6 weeks
before arrival and if it is not received on time we reserve the right
to cancel the booking (and retain the deposit) in order to be able
to offer the accommodation to other guests.
ELECTRICITY - For arrivals between the Spring Bank Holiday week
and the end of September, all electricity is included in the price.
For arrivals during the rest of the year, consumption is payable,
at cost, at time of departure.
OCCUPANCY - Bookings are from 3.00 pm on the day of arrival until
10.00 am on the morning of departure. The property must not be
occupied by more than the number of persons whose names are entered
on the booking form or as other wised agreed. The Hirer agrees
to vacate the property by the due time and to leave it in a clean
and tidy condition, otherwise a cleaning charge may be levied.
DAMAGE, LOSS & NUISANCE - The Hirer agrees:
(a.) That supervision of children, babies, dogs and any adults
requiring care remains the responsibility of the Hirer at all times.
(b.) To pay for any damage or loss however caused, excluding reasonable
wear and tear incurred during occupation.
(c.) Not to cause nuisance or annoyance to occupants of nearby
property.
(d.) To allow reasonable access to the property by the Owner if
it is deemed necessary.
If in the opinion of the Owner the Hirer or any person is not
suitable to continue their occupation of the property because of
unreasonable behaviour, damage or nuisance to other parties, the
contract may be discharged and the Owner repossess the property
immediately The Hirer will remain liable for the whole cost of
hire and no refund shall be due
SECURITY - The doors must be locked and windows closed whenever
the property is unoccupied.
PETS - Pets may be accepted subject to prior agreement in the
Lodges only. Dogs must never be left in the property on their own
and are accepted only on the condition that they are not exercised
in the grounds and are kept on the lead at all times. Any fouling
in the grounds must be cleaned up immediately by the Hirer Dogs
are not allowed on beds, chairs or sofas, the Hirer is responsible
for bringing suitable bedding for them.
CANCELLATION & INSURANCE - Once a booking is confirmed the
Hirer is responsible for the total cost of the holiday In the event
of cancellation by the Hirer the Owner will endeavour to re-let
the property and if successful will refund any monies paid less
the non-refundable deposit and the Insurance Premium (if any).
To protect against such loss it is strongly recommended that insurance
against cancellation is taken out at the time of booking (see rear
of Booking Form).
BOOKING ALTERATIONS - If for reasons beyond its control the Owner
has to cancel or alter arrangements made for the Hirer it will
make every effort to offer an alternative property if one is available.
If the Hirer does not accept the alternative offered the Owner
will return to the Hirer all monies paid, whereupon the Owner's
liability will cease.
LIABILITY - The Owner cannot accept responsibility for any material
loss, damage, additional expense or inconvenience directly or indirectly
caused by or arising out of the property and its plumbing, electrical
services or otherwise, or exceptional weather Furthermore no responsibility
is accepted for loss or damage of property (including pets), vehicles
or vehicle contents belonging to the Hirer or any member of the
party during their occupancy.
COMPLAINTS - If in the opinion of the Hirer there are grounds
for complaint, it is the duty of the Hirer to take it to the Owner
immediately and in any event before departure to allow remedial
action to be taken. It is specifically agreed that failure by the
Hirer to notify the Owner of any complaint in accordance with this
timescale will entitle the Owner to refuse to entertain the complaint,
irrespective of its merits.
DESCRIPTIONS - Whilst the Owner makes every effort to ensure the
accuracy of property descriptions, these are inevitably subjective
and are for guidance only If there are any points of particular
importance please contact the Owner to clarify information. Whilst
the Owner has taken all responsible steps to ensure that the information
contained in its brochures tariffs, leaflets and advertisements
are accurate the Owner reserves the right to alter, substitute
or withdraw any facility or amenity.
