Thank you for booking\u00a0Mains Cottage\u00a0for your holiday. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Please read our terms and conditions before signing our booking form\u00a0which\u00a0is a legally binding contract between us.<\/p>\n

Booking Confirmation<\/strong>
\nWe will confirm by email or letter if \u00a0required,\u00a0 once we have received your completed Booking Form and deposit cheque, your holiday is then confirmed. Please note that your booking is not considered firm until deposits and Booking Form have been received. We will hold your provisional booking for 7 days only.<\/p>\n

Payments<\/strong>
\nPayments can be made by cheque or BACS. Please contact us for bank details.\u00a0We do not accept credit\/debit cards. Cheques made to Mrs. Dinah Scott-Harden. We ask for a 25% deposit per each period [week\/short break] booked.\u00a0Full payment is required 6 weeks prior to your arrival date, failure to pay by that date will indicate a cancellation by you and Mains Cottage\u00a0will be available by us to be relet. If you book within 6 weeks then the full amount is required with your Booking Form.<\/p>\n

Cancellation by you.\u00a0<\/strong>
\nIn the event of you cancelling more than 12 weeks before the start of your holiday then your deposit will not be refunded, unless we are able to re-let Mains Cottage for the same period. If a cancellation is made 12 weeks or less before the start of your holiday, then the rental is payable by you in full unless we are able to re-let Mains Cottage for the same period. In either case, if we can relet Mains Cottage for you, then you will be fully refunded less any costs incurred in making the new booking. We recommend that you take out suitable holiday insurance to cover you against a possible cancellation. If you do have to cancel, let us know as soon as possible by phone and email and we will do our very best to rebook the cottage for you.<\/p>\n

If for reasons beyond our control that renders Mains Cottage unsuitable for letting, which means that we are forced to cancel your booking, we will attempt to find you alternative similar accommodation. If none is available then we will refund your payment in full and confirm that you will not be liable to any further claims or payments.<\/p>\n
