Slate Rigg Farm Holiday Cottages – Terms and Conditions

​

Booking
The written booking confirmation that you receive from us (by post or e-mail) is our contract with you and it binds you to the following terms and conditions (your statutory rights are not affected by these terms and conditions).
On receipt of your booking confirmation please notify us immediately if it contains any errors.
We reserve the right to amend prices without notice, but once a booking confirmation has been issued we guarantee that the price will not increase, unless the booking is amended.

​

Payment
Payments can be accepted by cheque or bank transfer.
Please make cheques payable to Mrs D Bowes.  Bank transfer details are available on request.
If your booking confirmation is issued more than 8 weeks before the holiday commencement date, you need only pay a deposit of £50 immediately.  The balance will then be due 4 weeks before the holiday commencement date.
If your booking confirmation is issued less than 4 weeks before the holiday commencement date, you will need to pay for the holiday in full immediately by one of the above methods, to ensure funds have been received and cleared before the holiday begins (please allow four working days).
In the event of late or non-payment, we reserve the right to cancel your booking.  We will refund any deposit already received (less a £30 administration fee) only if we are able to re-let the property for the period originally booked by you.

​

Cancelling a Booking
Cancellations can only be accepted in writing.  We will make every effort to re-let the property for the period originally booked by you.  If we are successful in doing this, we will refund any deposit already received (less a £30 administration fee).  Otherwise no refunds can be given.
