Terms & Conditions

Please read our terms and conditions before signing our booking form as this is a legally binding contract between us

Booking Confirmation

We will confirm by email or letter if required,  once we have received your completed Booking Form and deposit – your holiday is then confirmed. Please note that your booking is not considered firm until deposits and Booking Form have been received. We will hold your provisional booking for 7 days only.

Payments

Payments can be made by cheque or BACS. Contact us at for bank details. We do not accept credit/debit cards. Full payment is required 6 weeks prior to your arrival date, failure to pay by that date will indicate a cancellation by you and Crookwath will be available by us to be re-let. If you book within 6 weeks then the full amount is required with your Booking Form.

Cancellation by you

In the event of you cancelling more than 12 weeks before the start of your holiday then your deposit will not be refunded, unless we are able to re-let Crookwath for the same period. If a cancellation is made 6 weeks or less before the start of your holiday, then the rental is payable by you in full unless we are able to re-let Crookwath for the same period. In either case, if we can re-let Crookwath for you, then you will be fully refunded less any costs incurred in making the new booking. We recommend that you take out suitable holiday insurance to cover you against a possible cancellation. If you do have to cancel, let us know as soon as possible by phone and email and we will do our very best to rebook the cottage for you.

Cancellation by us

If for reasons beyond our control that renders Crookwath unsuitable for letting, which means that we are forced to cancel your booking, we will attempt to find you alternative similar accommodation. If none is available then we will refund your payment in full and confirm that you will not be liable to any further claims or payments.

Good housekeeping deposit.

We ask for a separate returnable £100 good housekeeping deposit payable with your final deposit cheque, 6 weeks prior to your holiday.  This will be refunded 7 days after your visit, unless there is damage to the property and its contents (we do not charge for small items such as broken glasses/plates – just tell us)
We ask you to leave the cottage clean and tidy, beds stripped and rubbish removed.

Crookwath accommodates a maximum of 6 people and a child up to 2 years old in a travel cot. A maximum of 3 children are permitted to stay. If this is abused and more have stayed overnight then we have the right to ask you to leave immediately.

We provide all towels and dishcloths so no need to bring your own. All bed linen is provided and the beds are ready made up for you.
