We have the right to deduct any sums from the Retainer Deposit should any of the terms and conditions herein contained be breached by you.  Should the amount of the Retainer Deposit not be sufficient compensation in the event of breach of these terms and conditions we reserve the right to seek additional compensation to cover the cost of damage, loss or additional cleaning or laundry. 

Cancellation

If you wish to cancel your booking you should advise us immediately by telephone and then send us a confirmatory letter or e mail.  You will lose the retainer deposit which will be applied to admin cost and re-advertising.  We will incur additional administration costs when you cancel your booking and we may be unable to re-let the accommodation.  If the holiday is paid for and then cancelled  in excess of 45 days a refund of the full cost of the holiday will be returned less the damage retainer deposit.  If the holiday is paid in full but cancelled with less than 45 days notice before commencement we will use their best endeavours to re let the holiday home.  If the holiday home is re-let at the same price you will receive a refund of the cost of the holiday pro rata, less the retainer deposit.   If the holiday home is not re-let no refund.   Please ensure that you take out adequate holiday insurance.
