1. HOW TO BOOK.  We suggest that you check by phone on availability of dates and that your booking form (sent electronically if required), plus a non-returnable deposit of £150, be sent by post or paid through your bank immediately. We will hold a provisional booking for 5 working days, which should allow sufficient time for your booking form and deposit to arrive. We cannot guarantee your holiday date until both the booking form and payment is received. The full cost of the accommodation should be sent if the booking is made less than 8 weeks prior to the holiday date; if discounts have been applied or paid in Euros. The contract is made on the date we post the confirmation invoice or send a confirmation e-mail.. Alternative Terms apply for eBay and PayPal purchases and are available on request.

2. YOUR LIABILITY FOR PAYMENT.  If we do not receive the final payment by the due date (8 weeks prior to the holiday date) we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled. We will make every effort to re-let the property and, if successful, we will refund your balance less any expenses incurred. If unsuccessful you will still be responsible for the full balance due.  The person named on the booking form is responsible for the full holiday price. Where payment is made in a currency other than £Sterling, any resulting bank charges will be invoiced., unless a premium payment has been included. We will accept full payment by credit card in Euros. Euro cheques will only be accepted if drawn on a French bank, otherwise bank charges will be invoiced. No refunds will be given for missed or lost days.

The property will NOT be available after 9pm until the following day. There is a breakage/cleanliness deposit of £150.00, (€200.00 collected on arrival if paying in Euros or by PayPal) and this is required at the time of the full balance payment. The property will be inspected on the morning of your departure and this deposit will be returned to you, within 7 days, less any deductions for any breakage, damage, soiling or extra cleaning.  Clients paying breakage/cleaning deposits in Euros will have their deposit returned on the day of departure. The property must be vacated by 10 am on the day of departure.

You are responsible for respecting the property, its contents, the amenities and for leaving it in good order and clean condition.. If you commit any serious abuse of or damage to the property, its contents and amenities, we reserve the right to treat your holiday as cancelled and will require you to leave the property immediately and without compensation. In the event that the cost for any damage exceeds the  deposit, clients will be charged any extra costs involved. The rental includes electric lighting, gas, taxes, water, wi-fi access and bed linen (or as advised). Heating will be charged at cost. Bathroom towels are available for hire.  A heating surcharge may apply in spring and autumn, depending on weather conditions. In no circumstances are the number of people booked to be exceeded.  In such a case we reserve the right to refuse your party access or request that any member of your party in excess of the number booked to leave the property immediately.

The pool is fitted with a pool alarm.

5. OUR LIABILITY.  We have taken every care in compiling the description of the property and we undertake to advise you of any amendments/alterations to the property. We cannot be held responsible or liable for any accidents on the property. In the event of cancellation we will only refund the holiday cost, less expenses, if we are successful in re-letting the property.

Non UK and EU nationals should check visa regulations with the French Embassy. There are no special health requirements, but UK residents are advised to obtain Form E111.
