The property summaries aim to give an accurate description of the cottage (including sleeping capacity) and will be illustrated with appropriate photographs. We are happy to give more information about the cottage, the situation and location, and any other details over the phone.
Check in time is 5.00pm on your holiday start date (normally Fridays) prior to this time our cleaners will still be in the property. Check out time is no later than 9.00am on the day of departure (normally Friday). The property should be left as you found it on arrival (clean and tidy).
The house has one parking space only in front of the “Moorings” plaque on the fence and near to the telegraph pole. Our neighbours share the block paved area so you should not park more than one vehicle on the block paved area or park to the left of that area. You must not block the road into the back of the house as 6 other properties use this to get their cars to the back of their houses.
Unfortunately the cottage does not specifically meet the needs of wheelchair user or disabled person due to its location. The properties main access is down a small number of steps to the entrance door and the property is two story with a normal internal staircase (No lifts or ramps).
We cannot accept liability for any injury, accident, damage, loss, expense or inconvenience, whether to person or property including cars, which members of the hiring party or any other persons may suffer or incur that arise out of the holiday hire, or is in any way connected with it.
We hope that your holiday will be an enjoyable experience and that the need to complain should not arise during your stay. However should it be necessary to complain we would ask that complaints be made during the stay so that they can be investigated immediately. In no circumstances can compensation be made for any complaints that are made after the holiday hire has ended, or where the hiring party has not allowed us to try to put matters right during the stay.
We would advise hiring parties to take out insurance cover against the eventuality of cancellation or curtailment of the holiday hire, and also to provide security against damage, losses and injury.
