1. To reserve the property the Client (the renter) should complete and sign the booking form and return it together with payment or proof of payment of the initial non refundable deposit (35% of the total rent due). Following receipt of the booking form and deposit we (the Owner) will send confirmation of the booking. This is the formal acceptance of the booking.

2. The balance of the rent together with the security deposit (see clause 3) is payable not less than eight weeks before the start of the rental period. If payment is not received by the due date we reserve the right to give notice in writing that the reservation is cancelled. The client will remain liable to pay the balance of the rent unless we are able to re-let the property. In this event, clause 4 of these booking conditions will apply. Reservations made within eight weeks of the start of the rental period require full payment at the time of booking.

3. A security deposit of £200 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 Clients liability to the Owner. We as the Owner will account to the Client for the security deposit and refund the balance due within two weeks after the end of the rental period.

4. Subject to clauses 1 and 2 above, in the event of cancellation, refunds of amounts over the deposit paid may be made if we are able to relet the Property at the full rate and any expenses or losses will be deducted from the refundable amount. The Client is strongly advised to arrange a comprehensive travel insurance policy (including cancellation cover) and to have full cover for the party’s personal belongings, public liability etc, since these are not covered by the Owners insurance. Form E111 to cover medical expenses incurred in France is also recommended.

5. The rental period shall commence at 4.00p.m. on the first day and finish at 10.00a.m. on the last day. The Owner shall not be obliged to offer the accommodation before the time stated and the Client shall not be entitled to remain in occupation after the time stated.

6. The maximum number to reside in the property is clearly stated in the brochure and must not be exceeded. It is intended that the house, garden and pool should be used by the Client and members of their party only. If the number in the party changes the Owner must be advised accordingly. The Owner has right at all times to refuse entry to any person on their property.

7. 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. Although a final clean is included in our prices, the Owner reserves the
right to make a retention from the security deposit to cover additional cleaning costs if the Client leaves the Property in an unacceptable condition.

8. If available and when requested, the Property can be heated. The cost, depending on your consumption, will be calculated at the time of your departure and deducted from your security deposit.

9. The Client shall report to Chrissie Ferguson, without delay any defects in the Property or breakdown in the equipment, plant, machinery or appliances in the Property, garden or swimming pool, and arrangements for repair and/or replacement will be made as soon as possible.

10. The Owner shall not be liable to the Client:
For any temporary defect or stoppage in the supply of public services to the Property, nor in respect of any Equipment, plant, machinery or appliances in the Property, garden or swimming pool.

For any loss, damage or injury whatsoever, caused accidental or which is the result of adverse weather conditions, riot, war, strikes or other matters beyond the control of the Owner.

For any loss, damage or inconvenience caused to or suffered by the Client if the Property shall be destroyed or Substantially damaged before the start of the rental period and in any such event, the Owner shall, within seven days of notification to the Client, refund to the client all sums previously paid in respect of the rental period.

11. Under no circumstances shall the Owners liability to the Client exceed the amount paid to the Owner for the rental period.
