Booking :

A non-refundable £100 deposit together with a signed booking form, in which you agree to abide by our terms
and conditions, secures your booking. We will send you a receipt, showing the final payment and date due. We
strongly urge you to consider cancellation insurance as a cancelled holiday can render you liable for the full cost.
Payment in full is normally 30 days before arrival and no receipt for your second payment is issued unless you
enclose an S.A.E. (This is just an attempt to save unnecessary paper work. So, a second receipt is in your
hands if you really do want one! )

Arrivals:

from 4pm. If you come earlier to beat the traffic, fine, but we may not be quite ready for you. So, in
that case, just pop into the games room (WC facilities in the adjoining Linen room), or explore the grounds.
Normally, your cottage will be unlocked, and ready for you to unwind with tea and biscuits, and a drink for the
younger ones from our welcome tray. Please read the safety brief, which should be available on the
table and then sign the acceptance form before we make contact with you to extract the cash deposit ( see
below,) in return for the leisure centre keys. Any further safety issues or questions you might have can be
discussed at this point. Poor you! But we promise to leave you alone after that!

Departures:

>>	Around 10am with beds stripped, dishwashers empty and cottages vacuumed and clean.

Please try to leave the cottages as you find them and tell us about things that are broken.This does help us to keep the standards high for other guests. Each year we find that more and more people are NOT doing this. Very sadly, we are now forced to ask for a cash service charge of £50/cottage on arrival. This is refundable only in return for a CLEAN & TIDY cottage, together with all keys etc. Yes, there is a vacuum cleaner and ample cleaning equipment in each cottage! Gosh if we have not managed to put you off, then we very much look forward to meeting you!
