CONTRACT The contract for a short-term holiday rental shall be made between the client and Chapel View Farm, the contract will be entered into when Chapel View Farm issues the booking confirmation and will be subject to all the following conditions.

PAYMENT A non-returnable deposit of £100 is payable if the booking is made more than eight weeks before the start of the rental. The balance shall be payable eight weeks before the commencement of the rental. Non-payment of the balance of the rent on or before the due date shall be construed as a cancellation of the contract by the client. For bookings made less than eight weeks before the start of the rental the total fee is payable on sending the booking form. Cheques should be made payable to Ruth Huxley and sent to the address at the top of the booking form.

CANCELLATION Any cancellation made by the client for whatever reason shall be in writing and addressed to Ruth Huxley at the address at the top of the booking form. On receipt of notice of cancellation, Chapel View Farm will seek to re-let the property for the period of booking. If Chapel View Farm succeeds in re-letting the property for the whole period, it shall refund all the monies paid, less the £100 deposit. If Chapel View Farm only succeeds in re-letting the property for part of the period booked it shall refund an amount equal to the money paid less (1) the rental for the period that is not re-let and (2) the deposit of £100.  We strongly advise that you take out separate holiday cancellation insurance.

DEPOSIT In the event of a cancellation, all of the above terms shall apply. However, we will honour the £100 deposit if an alternative booking is made with a start date of no more than 6 calendar months from the start date of the original booking.
