Cancellation Policy
Should you have to cancel, we will do our best to re-let your week(s) and give you a full refund less a handling charge to cover our costs. (If we have to discount the price in order to rent the period, we cannot refund the amount of the discount.) However, if the week(s) should remain un-let, we will be unable to give a refund. For this reason, we suggest you to take out holiday cancellation insurance such as Travelguard or other. You are also asked to take out personal holiday insurance to cover such matters as travel, loss of money or belongings, accident, injury and medical expenses as the use of a property is entirely at the client’s risk.
