The balance of rent and a damage/telephone deposit of £150 per week (which will be banked) must be paid at least 42 days before arrival, without further demand. N.B. In the case of bookings made within 42 days of the commencement of the holiday the full amounts must be sent with the booking form. The acknowledgement of the balance (or full) payment will detail arrangements for access to Homelands.
4. CANCELLATION It is the hirer’s responsibility to ensure they have adequate insurance cover for cancellation or curtailment of the booking. No refund of deposit or balance will be made unless Homelands is re-let for the same period.
5. PETS AND SMOKING. It is regretted that domestic animals are not permitted. However this does not guarantee that pets have never occupied the property. Allowances will be made for assistance dogs. There is no smoking in Homelands.

10. EQUIPMENT FAILURE. Every effort is made to ensure all items of equipment described and supplied by the Owner are in good working order; however no guarantee is given or liability accepted if breakdowns occur before or during a holiday.
