We will suggest available properties that suit your dates and other requirements, confirm with you the full rental rate and deposit details before taking your booking.

Security deposit
We require a security deposit of £250 for short stays (we normally take these by credit card ). For longer stays of 4 weeks or more , or large properties, we may require a larger security deposit . This will always be by pre arrangement with you before you book. This is to cover any damage/breakage that may occur or extra cleaning that may be necessary, and for any telephone charges. It means that the owner can keep rates low while keeping the property up to standard, rather than charge higher rates to everyone for the occasional problem. Security deposits are refunded 10 days after departure.
Cancellation Insurance
We strongly advise all travellers to take out cancellation insurance, as unforeseen circumstances may make it necessary for you to cancel your trip. This will save you from financial loss.
See more about cancellation and some suggestions for insurance under How to Book above.
Clients travelling without cancellation insurance do so entirely at their own risk.
If you have any questions before booking do ask us.
