Insurance: Please ensure that you arrange adequate travel insurance to cover you during your vacation, including in the unlikely event of a cancellation. Bookings are made on the assumption that each guest will have arranged such insurance. Cancellation Policy: Should you need to cancel your reservation for any reason, the following cancellation charges will apply. Charges are calculated by reference to the time before the rental date at which notice in writing is actually received. In each case, we will endeavor to find another suitable tenant for the cancelled period and will reduce the cancellation charges accordingly.

Should any significant details change before your rental date, we will do our best to inform you. We cannot be responsible for any loss, delay or cost incurred arising from circumstances outside our control, including, but not limited to, weather, traffic or the political or economic environment.
