Thatchways supplies holiday accommodation in Crackington Haven, North Cornwall.  When booking your stay with us you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions.

Contract

The Contract for a short-term holiday rental shall be made between the Client and the Owners of Thatchways hereinafter also referred to as “the Owners” and “the Property”).

Thatchways is let as holiday accommodation and does not create a Landlord and Tenant relationship within the meaning of the Rent Acts, and The Contract will be governed by UK Law. It will be entered into when the deposit or full payment is processed and the Owners issue the booking confirmation in writing. The Contract will be subject to all the following conditions and it is the Client’s responsibility to see that all rules are adhered to:-

Bookings and Payments

A booking deposit of 1/3rd of the full price is payable in advance. An invoice is sent with the full cost of the holiday plus a breakages bond of £125

This deposit is accepted if the booking is made more than 12 weeks before the commencement of the rental and the booking will be confirmed on receipt of cleared funds. Christmas and New Year may require a larger deposit.

The remaining payment will be due 8 weeks or two calendar months before commencement of stay, we do not send a reminder for this payment.  Bookings within 12 weeks of  arrival are expected to pay in full on booking. Non-payment of the balance of the rental on or after the due date shall be construed as a cancellation of the contract. The deposit is refunded within one week of the property being departed subject to breakages or extra cleaning required.

The owners try to be as flexible as possible with booking lengths, preferring whole weeks but always willing to offer short breaks out of season. UK School holidays are generally week long stays Friday to Friday.  It is more likely that the Owners will be able to respond favourably to requests for longer bookings during the winter months, and are willing to negotiate prices for these.

Payments can be made by bank transfer- an invoice will be sent by email

Cancellation

The Owners must be informed of any cancellations for whatever reason in writing by the Client named on the booking confirmation. The effective date of cancellation will be the date that the written instructions are received by the Owners.

Cancellation charges will apply:

·        Less than 8 weeks – full cost of the let

The Owners strongly recommend our clients to take out Holiday Cancellation Insurance, provided by many reputable companies.

Lockdown measures introduced for The Client’s home area will be offered full refund if legislation forbids travel.

In the unlikely event of The Owners cancelling the reservation due to circumstances beyond their control, The Owners will provide a full refund of rental paid including any deposit. This includes local or National Lockdown due to Government legislation.
