1.       Weekly holiday lettings are usually from 4pm Friday to 10am the following Friday.  Short Breaks are usually from 4pm Friday (2 or 3 nights) to 10am day of departure, and 4pm Monday (4 nights) to 10am day of departure.  Short breaks during peak periods may normally only be booked within 28 days of arrival.

2.       The maximum number of adults and children occupying the property shall not exceed 5.  In addition up to 2 babies/ toddlers (under 2 years) may also stay. 

3.       A non-refundable deposit of £50 is required to confirm the booking.  The final rental balance must be paid 8 weeks before the holiday start date together with a £100 cleaning/ damage deposit, which will be held and refunded (or destroyed if paid by cheque) after your departure subject to no damage and the cottage being left in a good order and clean condition.  Accidental minor breakages are not charged.  For bookings made less than 8 weeks before the holiday start date, the full weekly rental amount must be paid in full together with the £100 cleaning/ damage deposit.

4.       Non-payment of the balance of the total holiday cost by the due date shall be deemed to be cancellation of the booking by the lead hirer.

6.       In the event of a cancellation by the lead hirer no refunds of money paid shall be given apart from the £100 cleaning/ damage deposit unless the rental period cancelled can be re-let, in which case a refund will be made up to the rental monies recieved for the re-let or the original rental monies paid (less £50 to cover booking costs) whichever is the lower.  It is suggested you consider taking out holiday insurance to cover the cost of cancellation.

7.       No pets or animals of any type are permitted on the premises.

8.       No smoking anywhere inside the cottage.

9.       The lead hirer must allow Lantern House Holidays and/ or its agents to enter the property to inspect the state of it and if needed undertake any (internal and external) remedial repairs, on reasonable notice, except in emergency when immediate access must be granted.   All damages and breakages are the legal responsibility of the lead hirer, and their cost shall be refundable.  However, minor damages or breakages and reasonable wear and tear will not normally be charged.
