Terms and Conditions

Please read the following Terms and Conditions carefully. On booking your holiday with Walker Property Developments ("Owner") you are entering a contract which binds the renter ("Client") and the Owner in various ways. You will see we have clearly set out the booking conditions with a list of responsibilities and commitments for both parties.

1. All terms are for the accommodation requested and equipped as described for use as holiday accommodation only and for the number of nights booked. The number of persons occupying the house must not exceed the number for which the accommodation has been reserved. If more than the maximum numbers of persons are staying in the holiday home there will be a penalty of the security deposit plus £400.

2. The Client is obliged to leave everything in a clean and tidy condition. The Client is responsible for any damage done or loss during their stay.

3. Smoking is strictly prohibited.

4. No pets are allowed at the Owner's property.

5. Prices quoted in the Owners brochure and webpage are correct at the time of printing. The Owner reserves the right to correct errors in advertised prices. The Owner will advise the Client of any error at the time of booking.

6. The Clients booking will only be confirmed on receipt of a deposit of the amount stated at the time of booking. If no deposit is received within one week of the booking the Owner has the right to cancel the booking without notification. If the Client cancels the booking at any time the confirmation deposit is non-refundable.

7. A security deposit of £150 for every week or part week of the rental period is required in case of, for example, damage to the property or its contents. However, the sum reserved by this Clause shall not limit the Client's liability to the Owner. The Owner shall account to the Client for the security deposit and refund the balance due within two weeks after the end of the rental period.

8. The balance of the rent together with the £150 security deposit is payable not less than eight weeks before the start of the rental period. If payment is not received by the due date, the Owner reserves the right to give notice in writing that the reservation is cancelled.

In the event that the Client wishes to cancel their holiday they must telephone the Owner immediately. Then on the same day send the Owner by first class mail written confirmation. The Owners acknowledgement in writing will be the Clients confirmation that their booking has been cancelled. If the Client cancels more than four weeks prior to the start date of their holiday the Owner will refund any balance paid in full and the Client will forfeit their confirmation deposit. If the Client cancels between four and two weeks of the start of their holiday they will be liable for 50% of the balance of hire monies. If the Client cancels within two weeks of the start date they are liable for the entire confirmation deposit and the balance of hire monies.

Short breaks can only be booked 4 weeks in advance at which time the Security deposit along with full payment will be required.

The rental period shall commence at 3.00 pm on the first day and finish at 10.00 am on the last day. The Owners shall not be obliged to release the accommodation before the time stated and the Client shall not be entitled to remain in occupation after the time stated. 7 night break starts on a Friday.

Tenants may be billed for any damaged or missing items.

11. The Client agrees to be a considerate tenant and to take good care of the Property and to leave it in a clean and tidy condition at the end of the rental period.
