BOOKING TERMS AND
CONDITIONS
Please do read our booking terms
and conditions carefully before booking, as
these booking conditions shall be deemed to have
been accepted by you when you complete and sign
the booking form.
The contract
Sowerbys Holiday Cottages act as
Booking Agents on behalf of the property owners .
The contract entered into is between the owner
of the holiday accommodation and the holiday
maker (The Hirer). The contract is only
effective once the completed booking form and
required payment has been received and written
confirmation has been sent to the Hirer.
The booking is made with the Owner through us.
The contract is subject to English Law.
Booking
If reservations are made more
than eight weeks before the holiday start date,
a deposit of one third of the total rental cost
is payable. The outstanding balance should be
paid six weeks before the holiday start date (no
reminder is sent).
Alternatively, if the booking is made less than
eight weeks before the holiday start date, the
entire holiday cost should be paid to Sowerbys
Holiday Cottages with the completed booking
form. Failure to make full payment at the
appropriate time may result in the cancellation
of the booking and the forfeiture of the
deposit.
Breakages Deposit
For all cottages a £100
breakages deposit cheque or a £100 debit/credit
card authorisation deposit is required at the
time of final payment. The cheque will not be
cashed and will be destroyed (or returned) at
the end of the holiday, but will be kept if the
cottage is not left in the clean and tidy
condition in which it was found, or to cover the
cost of any damage to the property or contents.
Return of Personal Belongings
In the event of any items being
left in the property, Sowerbys Holiday Cottages
will collect, pack and post the items back to
you for a minimum charge of £12.00
Cancellation
The Hirer is advised to arrange
holiday insurance to give protection in the
event that the Hirer is unable, for any reason,
to take up the holiday accommodation at the
agreed time .
The Hirer should notify Sowerbys Holiday
Cottages of any cancellation immediately. For
any cancellation before the arrival date, not
only will the deposit be forfeited but also the
balance of the holiday will be payable by the
Hirer. If the property can be re-let then an
appropriate refund will be made,
but the
deposit is always non-refundable.
Booking Alteration
Rarely, for reasons beyond the
control of Sowerbys Holiday Cottages we have to
cancel or alter arrangements made for the Hirer
– in this event we will contact you as soon as
possible to endeavour to find alternative
accommodation, or offer a full refund of monies
paid to date. We will not accept consequential
damages and liability is limited to a full
refund of monies paid.
Complaints Procedure
In the unlikely event of a
problem, all complaints must be received before
the end of the holiday rental to enable any
issues to be resolved. Please note that no
correspondence can be entered into concerning
complaints made upon departure or after your
return home.
Liability
Sowerbys Holiday Cottages
accepts no responsibility for any damage or
injury caused by use of the accommodation and
any amenities and such use is at the Hirer’s own
risk.
