Terms and Conditions

West Barbary Holidays offer holiday accommodation in the North Cornwall and Devon area. When booking your stay with us you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions.

Contract

The Contract for a short-term holiday rental shall be made between the Client and the Owners of West Barbary Holidays (hereinafter also referred to as “the Owners” and “the Property”).
The Property is let as holiday accommodation and does not create a Landlord and Tenant relationship within the meaning of the Rent Acts, and The Contract will be governed by UK Law. It will be entered into when the deposit or full payment is processed and the Owners issue the booking confirmation in writing. The Contract will be subject to all the following conditions and it is the Client’s responsibility to see that all rules are adhered to:-

Bookings and Payments

A deposit of 30% is payable if the booking is made more than 6 weeks before the commencement of the rental and the booking will be confirmed on receipt of cleared funds.
The balance will be due 28 days before commencement of stay, we do not send a reminder for this payment. Non payment of the balance of the rental on or after the due date shall be construed as a cancellation of the contract.

For bookings made less than 6 weeks before the commencement of the rental, the total rental fee is payable on booking.
The owners try to be as flexible as possible with booking lengths, preferring whole weeks but always willing to offer short breaks as well. It is more likely that the Owners will be able to respond favorably to requests for longer bookings during the winter months, and are willing to negotiate prices for these.
Payments can be made by bank transfer- an invoice will be sent by email.

Cancellation

The Owners must be informed of any cancellations for whatever reason in writing by the Client named on the booking confirmation. The effective date of cancellation will be the date that the written instructions are received by the Owners.
Cancellation charges will apply if the Owners are not able to re-let the Property, in which case there will be a £30 administration fee only –

Cancellation date before the commencement of Let

• ·  More than 4 weeks – loss of deposit
• ·  Less than 4 weeks – full cost of the let
  The Owners strongly recommend our clients to take out Holiday Cancellation Insurance, provided by many reputable companies.
  In the unlikely event of The Owners cancelling the reservation due to circumstances beyond their control, The Owners will provide a full refund of rental paid including any deposit.
