General Conditions
Arrival.
The arrival time is between 5pm and 7pm and the departure time at 10 am (or 11am for short stays of 2/3 nights).
Late arrival is possible. Please contact Liz to inform her of this.
Early arrival is not possible.
Why ? I can not organise an earlier arrival because all the cottages need to be prepared, some maintenance work must be done and we need to mow the lawns and do some garden work so that we will not make noise during your stay to ensure that it is peaceful and enjoyable.
Conclusion of the contract.
The booking becomes effective from the date that the host receives a deposit of 100% of the total amount. This deposit is non-refundable.
If your stay is 2 weeks or more, it is possible to pay in two installments. Please make your request by email.
There is a tourist tax of 0,77 €/adult/day.
Cancellation by the guest.
The host must be notified of a cancellation by email.
If a tenant cancels their rental agreement, the landlord will ask for compensation.
Here are the cancellation rules:
- Cancel up to 91 days before the rental starts: Refund of 90% of the rental price.
- Cancel between 90 and 61 days before the rental starts: Refund of 50% of the rental price.
- Cancel between 60 and 45 days before the rental starts: Refund of 20% of the rental price.
- Cancel less than 44 days before the rental starts: No refund.
If the landlord can rent out the house again for the same time, all money already paid will be refunded, minus a 10% processing fee. As the travel date gets closer, it becomes harder to find another tenant.
We strongly suggest getting travel cancellation insurance to avoid losing money as well as the disappointment of not being able to go on your holiday.
