Conditions of Hire Cottages

 

Cancellation Scheme

If you are compelled to cancel a booking; you must notify the Company immediately by phone (+44(0)28 6862 8100) and in writing. The deposit is then forfeited. If the cancellation is received 45 days or less before the Hire starting date, the Hirer is responsible for the whole balance of hire money even if unfortunate circumstances prevent you from taking over your accommodation.

The Company has arranged a scheme to indemnify the Hirer from this liability. The scheme is entirely voluntary but the hirer is advised to subscribe. The fee is 5% of the total Hire charge. Details of the scheme are below.

If the Hirer does not sign up to the scheme the deposit will be retained and the Hirer will still remain responsible for the balance of the hire charge.    

Add 48 hours cancellation to your currently non-transferable non-refundable booking.

By selecting this option you can cancel your reservation by notifying the Company, firstly by phone and secondly in writing, up to 48 hours before arrival.
This will indemnify you from the balance of hire and you will receive a refund of any deposit paid less a £30 administration charge.
