on booking. Provisional bookings are held for 4 working days only.
The balance of the rental is payable 4 weeks prior to the arrival

cautionary deposit in the form of a cheque which will be returned
to you within 7 days of your departure. For bookings made
less than 4 weeks in advance, the total amount is payable on the

less an administrative charge of £25.00 per booking. If we only succeeds in re-letting the property for part of
the period booked it shall refund an amount equal to the monies paid less (1) the rental for the period that is
not re-let and (2) an administrative charge of £25.00 per booking. If we are unable to re-let the property before
the final payment is due, the client still remains liable for the final payment on the due date as indicated in
the Payment section. If we are successful in re-letting the property for the whole or part of the period of the
