The person who makes a booking (the guest) will be responsible for all persons included in the booking and should ensure that they are aware of these terms & conditions.
Please be aware that the holiday contract is only valid for the persons stated on the original booking reservation. Please notify us immediately – PRE ARRIVAL - if there are any additional guests (max self-catering occupancy =5) – or extra pets staying at the property in addition to this – as a new booking contract will have to be set up. An additional fee (payable pre arrival) may be applicable.

For the touring Caravan Site – full payment is needed upon booking.
Cleaning (self-catering)
Guests are responsible for leaving the accommodation in good order and in a clean condition – as was found; otherwise a cleaning charge will be levied of £50 per stay.
