Telephone bookings will be held for seven clear days to allow for receipt of the completed booking form and the initial deposit.

A non refundable deposit of 30% of total rent is payable upon booking.

The balance of the total hire charge must be paid at least six weeks before the beginning of the hire period, failing which the deposit may be forfeited and the hiring cancelled at the sole discretion of the owner. Reminders will not be sent to hirers when the balance falls due. In the event of late payment of a balance, the right is reserved to cancel the hiring.

Bookings made six weeks or less in advance, the whole of the hire charge must be paid on booking.

Lettings are provisional until receipt by the owner of a completed unaltered booking form, signed terms and conditions and deposit cheque.

3. Good Housekeeping Deposit:

A returnable security deposit of 250 euros cash is required on arrival. You may replace small articles damaged or broken during your stay. We reserve the right to charge from your Good Housekeeping deposit for any articles not so replaced (replaced not to owners satisfaction) or for damage done during your stay. An inspection will take place prior to departure please allow an hour for this.

All monies due to you from the housekeeping deposit will be refunded on your departure, if everything is in order, subject to any necessary deductions for damages or extras not separately paid for.

If there are any damages or breakages in excess of the damage deposit the hirer agrees to reimburse the owner. Any substantial damage caused by the hirer (the hirer's family/friends or the hirer's invitees) or behavior of an unacceptable type will result in immediate eviction without compensation and a claim for loss and damages by the owner. In this event the Owner will have no further contractual obligation to the hirer.

Properties should be left as found in a clean and tidy condition. We would ask you to undertake a reasonable level of cleaning before your departure. This should include general tidying, washing up, vacuuming or other floor cleaning, cleaning of showers, washbasins and WCs, cookers, the bagging of rubbish. The owner reserves the right to retain a proportion of the Good Housekeeping deposit if the client leaves the property in an untidy or unacceptable condition.

7. Cancellation by Hirer If you wish to cancel your booking you should advise immediately in writing by registered mail. Cancellation fees will be calculated from the day we receive your written cancellation.

In the event of a 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.
