  1. Bookings:
    In the first instance bookings are made provisionally by telephone or email. These will be held for 5 days only, pending receipt of your completed booking form and required deposit.
    Access to the house commences at 3.00pm on the first day of the tenancy and end at 10.00am on the day of departure unless otherwise notified.
    The person who completes the booking form certifies that
    1. he or she is authorised to agree the booking conditions on behalf of all persons included on the booking form, including those substituted at a later date.
    2. The signatory is over 18 years of age and a member of the party intending to occupy the property and
    3. agrees to take responsibility for the party occupying the property.
    The house is not suitable for children under the age of 14 and bookings will not be accepted from groups of single persons under the age of 25.
    Once a booking has been accepted it can only be changed provided Riverdales is available for the new dates.
    The period booked cannot be extended without confirmation from the owners. The tenants will be liable for the cost incurred because of an unauthorised extension.
  2. Payments
    If a booking is made six weeks or more before the tenancy is due to start, it must be accompanied by a deposit of £75. If a booking is made less than six weeks before arrival, the full rent must be paid at the time of booking.
    Once a booking is received and accepted, payment of the balance of rent must be paid six weeks before the start of the tenancy. Non payment by the due date will be treated as a cancellation. We do not send reminders - the balance due date is sent to you on the Booking Confirmation.
  3. Cancellation
    Notify us immediately by telephone should you need to cancel your holiday. This should be followed by written confirmation of the cancellation. Every effort will be made to re-let the house, and if we are successful you will receive a full refund, less an administrative charge of £10. If we are unsuccessful in re-letting the house then you will be liable to pay the full cost of the holiday, whether or not the final balance has been paid at the time of cancellation. You are advised to insure against this eventuality.
  1. Tenants Obligations
    The tenants agree:-
    1. To pay for any losses or damages to the property caused by a member of the party [reasonable wear and tear excluded] unless the cost of making good such loss or damage can be fully recovered under any householder's insurance policies maintained by the owners.
    2. To take good care of the property and leave it in a clean and tidy condition at the end of the tenancy.
    3. To permit the owners reasonable access to the property.

  3. Liability

In addition the Owners accept no liability for loss or damage to the Tenants possessions on the Owners property or land.
    Every effort is made to ensure that all the amenities advertised are available but no liability can be accepted for any omissions.
  4. Breach of Contract
    If there shall be a breach of any of these conditions by any of the Tenants, the Owners reserve the right to re-enter the property and terminate the tenancy without prejudice to other rights of the Owners.
