PAYMENT. Unless otherwise stated, a deposit of £200 of the rental fee is payable if the booking is made 12 weeks before the start of the rental. The balance shall be payable 4 weeks before the commencement of the rental.

In the event of the Cottage being unable to be re-let then all monies paid by the client shall be forfeited. You are strongly recommended to take out Cancellation Insurance.
