(c) written or email acknowledgement thereof is dispatched by the proprietors.

Insurance
A reservation is a binding contract between proprietors and guests. Once a booking has been confirmed, you are liable for the whole cost of the holiday. Without prejudice to the proprietors, in the event of cancellation every reasonable effort to relet will be made. Should the Proprietors not be successful, an invoice to the amount of the full rent will be rendered in accordance with accepted practice. The liability for cancellation may be covered by Insurance, and we request that you do so for your own protection.

Good Housekeeping Deposit
One or two lodges have not been left in a good condition by previous hirers. This unfortunately means we now reserve the right to levy an additional charge of up to £50 should your lodge be left in an untidy condition.

Clients are asked to leave their accommodation and its contents clean and tidy when vacating. Turn round times of the lodges are quite short on Saturdays and lodges left in poor condition make the task very much more difficult. Over and above dirt, other items such as fat left in pots and pans or unknown breakages are very time-consuming to fix. All damages or breakages of the fittings, utensils, crockery or cutlery should be reported to reception and will have to be charged for.

Equipment
Each property is furnished and equipped to cater for the stated permitted occupancy and includes pots and pans, crockery, cutlery, iron and ironing board.

Linen
All properties are supplied with pillows, (two per person) duvets and bed linen. Towels are not included in the price, but may be hired from us at £5 per set.

Cots
Cots may be hired at £7 per week.

Dogs
Dogs are by prior arrangement only, and must not be allowed on furniture or in bedrooms, must not be left unattended, and must be kept under strict control. Guests must clean up after their dogs (poop scoops are available at the recieption)

A charge of £10 per pet will be incurred.

Smoking
Smoking is not allowed in any part of the lodges. We have provided safe sand receptacles outside for all our guests. Please do not leave cigarette butts lying on the ground beside the lodge, they look unsightly and we are concerned about the fire risk they present.
