Bookings can only be made by adults and cannot be accepted from anyone under the age of 18. We only allow guest stays where the lead guest is aged 18 years or over.
Your booking must be for holiday purposes only. We reserve the right to refuse hire for purposes other than holiday accommodation.

All breakages and damage must be reported to us immediately so that they can be rectified.
