Cancellation
When you make a booking and we have received the required deposit, a legally binding contract exists between us that is non-cancellable and non-refundable, except in exceptional circumstances. You may still remain liable to pay in full or in part for the booking, even if you are unable to take your holiday.
In the event of cancellation less than 6 weeks before a holiday begins the whole rent is payable unless we succeed in re-letting, in which case an administration fee will be deducted plus any discount that has had to be applied to the replacement booking and the remainder refunded. With more than 6 weeks’ notice, only the deposit will be forfeit. If for some reason you do need to cancel, it is important that you tell us at the first opportunity so that we may attempt to re-let Crumble Cottage and minimise your loss. We advise that you take out cancellation insurance to protect you against this loss.
We like to be fair and if you do need to cancel your booking we will do all we can to minimise your loss and entirely at our discretion we may vary the above cancellation conditions where necessary.

If there is a breach of any of these conditions by us, then the guests have the right to end their holiday and leave.
Non-availability of property
If for any reason beyond our control Crumble Cottage is not available on the date booked (owing, for example, to fire damage) or if it becomes unsuitable for holiday letting, all rent and charges paid in advance by the guest will be refunded.
Liability
Owner’s Liability
Under no circumstances will the Owner’s liability exceed the rental paid for the cottage (save for personal injury or death caused by the negligence of the Owner).
We will not be liable for any act, neglect or default outside our control, nor for any accident, damage, loss, injury, expense or inconvenience, whether to person or property, which the guest or any other person may suffer or incur arising out of, or in any way connected with the rental unless we are responsible. In addition, we accept no liability for loss of or damage to the guest’s possessions in the cottage and garden. Nothing in these conditions excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or for any matter which it would be illegal for us to exclude or attempt to exclude their liability.
Force Majeure
Your booking is accepted on the understanding that the cottage will be put at your disposal on the date agreed with us. Should this not be possible due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, we cannot guarantee to provide an alternative holiday property. In this case the rental you have paid will be returned to you in full and you will have no further claim against us.
Rural Clause
Part of the charm of the countryside, with the beauty of our natural scenery and our distance from the bustle of the city, means that we have less security of supply of services that are taken for granted in cities. Thankfully problems such as power cuts or uncooperative septic tanks are few and far between at Crumble Cottage. In the unlikely event of any such problems during your stay with us we will use our reasonable endeavours to procure their early resolution on receiving notice thereof. However, for the avoidance of doubt, you accept that as the extent of our liability.
Security
Please ensure that the cottage is left secure when you go out. In the unlikely event that anything of yours is stolen from the cottage (locked or unlocked) it will be your own responsibility.
Complaints
All complaints must be notified to us as soon as reasonably practicable, as we may be required to carry out an on-the-spot investigation followed by remedial action. Guests have a legal obligation to mitigate their loss. If we are denied the opportunity of investigating the complaint within a reasonable time or denied the opportunity to put matters right during the holiday, then the guest will waive all rights. We will do our utmost to ensure that any problems are resolved quickly and to your complete satisfaction.
Losses or Damages
You should be aware that you have a legal liability to pay for any damages you may cause during your holiday. Crumble Cottage is insured for the usual risks covered by a building and contents policy. However, in certain circumstances, if you should cause any loss or damage by negligence, you could become liable and you would probably not be covered by the personal liability section of your own household policy. Our insurance does not cover your personal possessions. You are advised to check on these points with your insurers. You may find that, providing they are given notice, they will extend your normal cover to include your holiday home.
Governing Law
These Terms & Conditions are governed and should be interpreted by the laws of England and Wales.
