Small print

  • Guests are responsible for their own belongings and safety whilst using the cottage.  
  • Taking out holiday insurance is recommended.  
  • The cottage is no smoking/no e smoking/no candles and should be left clean and tidy on departure. 
  • Please do not leave your dog/s alone in the cottage for long periods. If you do pop out and leave them please make sure the baby gate at the bottom of the stairs is closed and leave the downstairs doors open to avoid scratched doors.  
  • Guests will be asked to pay for any loss or damage (reasonable wear and tear excluded).
  • If for any reason the property is not available on the date booked, all payments will be refunded and guests have no further claim on ourselves 
  • £100 Deposit is required to secure a booking and full payment of your holiday is due 8 weeks before arrival.  There is an additional £100 security deposit taken for Lobster Pot which will be refunded in full once the cottage is checked and there is no damage or issues.  
  • If guests need to cancel a booking they should notify us as soon as possible.  Prior to 8 week before the holiday is due to be taken cancellation will result in the deposit being retained, if the cancellation is within 8 weeks of the holiday the full balance of the holiday will be retained- holiday insurance is therefore recommended but before buying insurance please check your current account as this often includes holiday insurance.
  • If you do not book direct with us and book through TripAdvisor/Airbnb their cancellation terms may differ, please check your agreement with them.  
  • Very, very occasionally, we may need access to the cottage or garden for maintenance- this would be rare and would be with prior arrangement with guests.
  • Wifi and TV signal is not normally a problem but it cannot be guaranteed.
