BOOKING CONDITIONS

BOOKING FORMS: A booking form, signed by the person making the booking, must be returned to us with every booking.

BOOKINGS: are made from 3.00 p.m. on the day of arrival until 10.00 a.m. on the day of departure, unless otherwise stated on your key instructions or in writing by us.

PAYMENT: 20% with signed booking form, and the balance six weeks before commencement of holiday unless the booking is made within six weeks when the full amount is due. If payment is not received by the due date we have the right to cancel the holiday and re-let it if possible. The payment of any monies to us constitutes a legally binding contract and an acceptance of the Booking Conditions.

BOOKING FEE: This is now a compulsory part of the holiday contract. The booking fee is £15.00 collectable with the deposit and is non refundable.

CANCELLATIONS: When you book a holiday you are entering a legally binding contract. If you have to cancel your holiday you still remain liable to us as Holiday Letting Agents for the final payment on the due date. We strongly recommend that you take out insurance against cancellation of your holiday, and we have arranged a special insurance scheme with P H Hayman & Co. Ltd., Stansted House, Rowlands Castle, Hants, PO9 6DX, Telephone 0845 230 0631. Full details will be sent to you on receipt of your deposit.

Cancellations must be made in writing to us, but the Applicant still remains liable for payment of the full amount of the letting fee. Failure to make such payment will be treated as a Breach of Contract. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Holiday Cornwall Ltd. will always endeavour to re-let the property after cancellation, and if successful, will refund the balance, less £30 +VAT per week administration costs and less any shortfall figure if the holiday was re-let at a reduced rate.You are, of course, at liberty to arrange cancellation insurance through your own source, if you wish.

CHANGING A BOOKING: Once a booking has been accepted by the Company, the booking can only be changed to another property by treating the original booking as a cancellation.
