If cancellation is necessary then the deposit is fully refundable provided the cottage can be re-let at the full amount.
The balance for weekly bookings must be received at least 10 weeks prior to the start of the holiday, again if cancellation is necessary, then this will be refunded provided the cottage can be re-let.
It is strongly recommended that you take out holiday insurance to cover for the possibility of a cancellation.
The conditions regarding ages of guests changed in September 2009, any bookings taken before the changes will of course be honoured.
