Booking Terms and conditions:

Please read carefully, when booking with us you are agreeing to the below terms and conditions. These booking conditions form the basis of your agreement with Court Farm Holiday Lets, and apply only to holiday-let arrangements which you book with us and which we agree to make, provide, or perform as part of our agreement with you. If any part of these booking conditions proves to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the conditions will still apply. 

 

(1) Booking confirmation 

 

On making a booking you guarantee that you have the authority to accept and do accept on behalf of all members of your party (known as holidaymakers), the terms of these booking conditions. The first named person on the booking will be the ‘lead guest’ and will be responsible for making all payments due to us including any amendment and cancellation charges. He/she must be at least 18 . This agreement is made on the basis that the property ("the Property") is to be occupied by the holidaymakers for a holiday as mentioned in the Housing Act 1988 Schedule 1 paragraph 9 and the Holidaymakers acknowledge that the tenancy granted by this agreement is not an assured tenancy and that no statutory periodic tenancy will arise when it ends.

After we receive your instruction to book, verbal or written, and appropriate payment received, we will issue a booking confirmation within 7 days. Our contract with you is made when we accept your holiday-let booking instruction and payment is taken, this binding arrangement will come into existence subject to all terms and conditions as soon as confirmation is sent to you (not received). Should you book within 7 days of departure where there is not enough time to issue a booking confirmation, normal terms and conditions apply. All changes are subject to amendment charges. If you chose to pay by credit card a % charge will apply to the sum being paid. We reserve the right to refuse your booking, if we do we will refund any money already paid to us. 

Please Note: All descriptions on the website are made in good faith.

In the unlikely event that you have cause for complaint, it is important that this is done whilst you are still at the Property so that an on-the-spot investigation can be made if necessary and remedial action taken if required.

Please ring the numbers featured on your booking confirmation. Most problems or complaints can be resolved whilst at the property however if you remain dissatisfied, you must write to us within 28 days of the end of your holiday-let, giving your booking reference and full details of your complaint.
