Booking Terms & Conditions
- Reservations at 2, Linhay Lodges, are accepted subject to
availability and are normally held for 72 hours. Payment must be
made within this time to confirm the Booking. If payment is not
received within the time stated, the Reservation may be cancelled
without notice to The Client.
- Bookings can be confirmed by payment of a Booking Deposit of
one-third of the total Rent, if the Booking is made more than 60
days before the start of the holiday. If the Booking is made less
than 60 days before commencement of the holiday, the full Rent, and
any additional charges, are due at the time of booking. A Booking
Invoice emailed to The Client by The Owners should be printed,
signed and posted with the payment cheque immediately after booking.
All cheques should be made out to: Nadia Cameron-Blakey.
- We, The Owners of 2, Linhay Lodges, reserve the right to refuse
to accept a Booking and in this event, all fees paid will be
immediately refunded. Bookings are normally accepted for up to four
adults and family groups only. Babes in arms are acceptable;
however, for safety reasons The Owners have been legally advised
that the property is not suitable for children under 11 years old.
There is a bank at the end of the garden – it is the Clients’
responsibility to be accountable for their own safety.
- Once the Booking is received and accepted by The Owners, the
Clients are liable for payment of the Balance of the Rent plus any
additional charges 60 days before the start of the holiday.
Non-payment by the due date will be treated as a cancellation and
the Company may re-let the property without reference to the Client
who remains liable for payment of the full amount. Credit will be
given for any rents received as a result of re-letting, less The
Owner's expenses.
- The Owners operate a Cancellation Policy whereby FULL payment,
less a 15% (of the total rental fee) administration charge, is
refunded in the event of cancellation due to death, injury, illness
(excluding pre-existing conditions), or a summons for Jury Service
of any member of the party named on the Booking Invoice, or any
close relative of the Clients. Close relatives include husband,
wife, father, mother, brother, sister, son, daughter, mother-in-law
and father-in-law. Cancellations under the Policy must be notified
to The Owners of 2, Linhay in writing within ten days of the event
causing cancellation, and providing an appropriate certificate is
sent to The Owners, no further payment is due and all previous
payments, less the 15% administration charge, will be refunded in
full. The Cancellation Policy terminates at mid-day on the first day
of your holiday or on your departure from home whichever is the
earliest, by which time the Company must have been verbally notified
of the cancellation. Should the cancellation be for reasons not
covered by the Policy the Booking Deposit is forfeit and the balance
is still payable on the due date. The Owners will endeavour to
re-let the property and, if successful, will normally refund the
Balance of Rent less any expenses incurred in re-letting within 21
days of the end of the holiday. Any expenses charged for re-letting
will be at the discretion of The Owners. The Cancellation Plan is
obligatory and the premium is included in the Rent.
- Any Security Deposit is payable directly to The Owners. This
deposit is held to cover any losses, damage and additional cleaning
charges, if the property is left in an unsatisfactory condition. The
Security Deposit is paid by cheque to The owners at the time of
Booking if within 60 days, or when paying The Balance of the rent 60
days before your holiday. Your cheque will normally be cashed and a
personal cheque for the refund sent within two weeks of the end of
your holiday. Any dispute about deductions from the Security Deposit
made by The Owners must be taken up directly with them.
- Acceptance of a Booking by The Owners confers upon the Clients
the right to occupy the property for a holiday only within the
meaning of Section 9 of the Rent Act 1977.
- Under no circumstances may people or pets other than those
specified on the Booking Form occupy the property. Where pets are
accepted in the property it is under the condition that they are
kept under strict control at all times, not allowed in bedrooms or
on furnishings, nor left unattended in the property. Clients will be
liable for any damage caused by pets. A £75 refundable Security
Deposit is payable at the time of booking if bringing dogs to cover
any damage, chews or puddles caused.
- The Client agrees to take good care of the property and to pay a
£10 per week levy from September to May, inclusive, for electricity
and heating incurred during the holiday. The Client will be
responsible for the full cost of any damages or breakages and any
exceptional cleaning and this liability is not limited to the amount
of any Security Deposit held by the owner/caretaker. The Client will
leave the property and its contents in a clean and tidy condition
prior to vacating the property. The Client will not cause any
annoyance or become a nuisance to tenants or occupants of adjoining
premises.
- Lettings are for a minimum of one week during the high season.
Lettings commence at 2.00pm on the first day of tenancy and end at
11.00am on the day of departure unless notified otherwise. The
period cannot be exceeded unless The Owners give approval in writing
and the Clients will be liable for any extra cost of whatsoever
nature incurred because of an unauthorised extension.
- If, for any reason, beyond The Owner's control, the property is
not available on the date booked, all rent and charges paid in
advance by the Clients will be refunded in full. Any further claim
against The Owners shall be limited to expenses actually incurred by
client prior to the date of cancellation of the holiday.
