All self-catering holiday accommodation - cottages, houses, pine lodges, log cabins, barn conversions displayed on this web site are booked directly with owners for very best prices.

Prices

Prices vary for each cottage - there is no price banding. As a guide you will see a price range displayed for each cottage. Expect the highest price to apply to all school holidays but double check to ensure that prices have been updated. Surcharges may be applied for dogs or additional services such as meal or grocery deliveries.

You will find email links to the cottage owners at the foot of each record. Please contact them to make a provisional booking or click on web links at the foot of the page to check prices per week and availability.

Payment

Payment for your holiday is arranged with cottage owners, some of which will have credit card facilities for instant payment, others will arrange a deposit to be taken by cheque or bank transfer with the balance to be paid a few weeks prior to taking up the holiday. This period for payment of the complete balance varies from 2 to 8 weeks before arrival.

Before placing a booking

We recommend that you obtain as much information as possible about your selected cottages before placing a booking. We very occasionally receive complaints and they are generally related to the location of the cottage; traffic noise, noise from other sources, proximity of buildings, caravans, dog kennels or other objects that are close to cottages but not shown in photographs.

We suggest that before making that booking you ask:

• how close the cottage is to a main road and is there traffic noise?
• are there other sources of noise?
• is the cottage overlooked by other properties?
• what other buildings are in the vicinity?

Self-catering accommodation for business trips

Self-catering accommodation provides a cost effective and cheaper than hotel room option for business trips where several people need to be accommodated for a few days. The cottage, house or apartment provides comfort and privacy. Mid-week short breaks are generally available outside school holidays and in some cases all year round. There are usually pubs and eateries nearby for meals.

Cancellation and Terms and Conditions

Please check Terms and Conditions of booking supplied by the cottage owner before placing your booking.

Cancellation with little notice close to your arrival date is likely to result in loss of monies unless the owner is able to rebook. We make every effort to help owners re-book last minute cancellations.

You should have travel insurance to cover any losses caused because of illness, bereavement etc that prevent you from taking up your holiday.

Complaints

When you book a holiday cottage you enter into a contractual agreement with the cottage owner involved. Any complaints should in the first instance be brought to the attention of the cottage owner as soon you are aware of them. Cottage owners rely on repeat business and will want to make every effort to ensure that you have an enjoyable self-catering holiday.

We reserve the right to remove any properties from our database that are not of a sufficiently high standard or do not meet our terms and conditions of accuracy of description and high standards of cleanliness. We appreciate feedback from the general public in helping to maintain standards.
