Booking Conditions
These booking conditions (the “Booking Conditions”) are between Bryngwyn Canol Cottages or our representative(s) (“we”, “us” and “our”) and the holidaymaker(s) who book our property (the “Property”). References to “you” or “your” are references to the person making the booking (“Booking”) and all members of the holiday party.
Any Booking is subject to the conditions below. These Booking Conditions form the basis of your contract with us so please read them carefully. Nothing in these Booking Conditions affects your normal statutory rights.
- Making your booking
To book the Property with us you should make the payment specified in the initial quote (the “Quote”). The Quote stipulates that you pay a 35% booking deposit (the “Booking Deposit”) followed by a balance payment (the “Balance”), you must make both payments within the time periods specified. The Quote may ask you to make a payment in full if booked less than 8 weeks before your stay, you must pay the full amount by the due date. The Quote specifies that a security deposit (the “Security Deposit”) is payable, you must also make that payment within the time period specified.
Once the Booking Deposit or full payment has been received, you will receive an email confirming the Booking. The contract between us will only be formed when you receive the payment confirmation email and is subject to these Booking Conditions.
You should carefully check the details of your Booking before making a payment, as well as the confirmation email and inform us immediately of any errors or omissions.
- Paying for your booking
Where you have only paid a Booking Deposit, you are required to send to us your payment for the Balance and the Security Deposit not less than 8 weeks before the arrival date specified in your Quote (the “Arrival Date”). If you fail to make a payment due to us in full and on time we may treat your Booking as cancelled by you.
- If you cancel or amend your Booking
If you need to cancel or amend your Booking you must write to us or email us as soon as possible. A cancellation will not take effect until we receive confirmation in writing or via email from you. The cancellation policy is as follows:
If we can re-let the property we will refund 100% of all monies paid.
Unfortunately, if we cannot re-let the property and you cancel once you have paid the Balance and Security Deposit only the Security Deposit will be repaid. If you cancel between payment of the Balance and the Security Deposit just the Security Deposit will be returned.
- If we cancel or amend your booking
We would not expect to have to make any changes to your booking, but in the unlikely event we do have to make alterations or cancel your booking. If we cancel your Booking, we will refund you any fees you have already paid to us. However, we will not be liable to refund you for any fees you may have paid to any third party in connection with your holiday (including, without limitation, fees for travel, entertainment, activities or insurance).
