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 50% of the total amount. This deposit is non-refundable. The remaining sum is due 60 days before your arrival.

There is a tourist tax of 0,85 €/adult/day.

Cancellation by the guest.
The host must be notified of a cancellation by email.

1. More than 60 days before the arrival date : the deposit can be used for a future stay.
2. Less the 60 days before the arrival date : the full amount is due. If and only if the owner succeeds in re-renting the cottage, the amount paid can be used for a future stay.
In the case of an early departure, the pre-arranged price remains the same.

There is a 60€ charge for any changes to bookings once the deposit has been paid.

Cancellation Insurance is highly recommended. We recommend Chapka Insurance. Here is a link to calculate travel insurance costs : Calculate

2. If you choose not to opt for the cleaning charge, please leave the cottage as you found it, this means between 2 and 4 hours of cleaning depending on the size and condition of the cottage.
