Booking Conditions

  1. The Property known as 'Le Bourg' is offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation by J. S. Anthony (the Owner) to the Renter.
  2. To reserve the Property the Client should complete and sign the booking form and return it together with payment of the initial non-refundable deposit (25% of the total rent due). Following receipt of the Booking Form and deposit, the Owner will send a confirmation invoice. This is the formal acceptance of the booking.
  3. The balance of the rent is payable not less than eight weeks before the start of the rental period. If payment is not received by the due date, the Owner reserves the right to give notice in writing that the reservation is cancelled. The Client will remain liable to pay the balance of the rent unless the Owner is able to re-let the Property. In this event, clause 6 of these booking conditions will apply. Reservations made within eight weeks of the start of the rental period require full payment at the time of booking.
  4. Any chargeable expenses arising during the rental period (e.g. wood, electricity, linen) should be settled with the Owner's Caretaker before departure.
  5. A security deposit of £100 or 150 Euros for the rental period is required in case of, for example, damage to the Property or its contents. However, the sum reserved by this clause shall not limit the Client's liability to the Owner. The Caretaker will account to the Client for the security deposit on arrival at the property and refund the balance on departure.
  6. Subject to clauses 2 and 3 above, in the event of cancellation, refunds of amounts paid will be made if the Owner is able to re-let the Property and any expenses or losses incurred in so doing will be deducted from the refundable amount. The Client is strongly recommended to arrange a comprehensive travel insurance policy (including cancellation cover) and to have full cover for the party's personal belongings, public liability etc, since these are not covered by the Owner's insurance.
  7. The rental period shall commence on a Saturday at 4pm and finish on a Saturday at 10am. The Owner shall not be obliged to offer the accommodation before the time stated and the Client shall not be entitled to remain in occupation after the time stated.
  8. The maximum number of people to reside in the Property must not exceed 8 in the summer season (14th July to 1st September) and 6 people at all other times, unless the Owner has given permission.
  9. The Client agrees to be a considerate tenant and to take good care of the Property and to leave it in a clean and tidy condition at the end of the rental period. The Owner reserves the right to make a retention from the security deposit to cover additional cleaning costs if the Client leaves the Property in an unacceptable condition. The Client also agrees not to act in any way, which could cause disturbance to those in neighbouring properties.
  10. The Client shall report to the Caretaker without delay any defects in the Property or breakdown in the equipment, plant, machinery or appliances in the Property and Garden, and arrangements for repair and/or replacement will be made as soon as possible.
  11. The Owner shall not be liable to the Client:
    1. For any temporary defect or stoppage in the supply of public services to the Property, nor in respect of any equipment, plant, machinery or appliance in the Property or Garden.
    2. For any loss, damage or injury which is the result of adverse weather conditions, riot, war strikes or other matters beyond the control of the Owner
    3. For any loss, damage or inconvenience caused to or suffered by the Client if the Property shall be destroyed or substantially damaged before the start of the rental period and in any event, the Owner shall, within seven days of notification to the Client, refund all sums previously paid in respect of the rental period.
  12. Under no circumstances shall the Owner's liability to the Client exceed the amount paid to the Owner for the rental period.
