Booking Conditions, please read these, they are important !
Please read these conditions carefully as they are the terms of your contract with us.
Agreed bookings will not be confirmed until full deposit of 30% of rental has been received. Dates enquired of will only be held open for seven days pending receipt of deposit. The deposit will be refunded in full if you cancel more than 10 weeks in advance of your holiday. All prices are quoted in Euro's (€) and payment should be made by direct deposit or wire transfer. The full balance, including breakage deposit (see below) is due 10 weeks prior to the date of arrival.
Cancellations
Once a booking has been confirmed you are contracted to pay the full balance due as described above. If you wish to cancel the holiday out side the 10 week period, see above, we will attempt to re-let the accommodation, if successful, and at our discretion, refund all or part of the deposit paid. You must appreciate that the shorter the notice, the less likely we will be able to re-let the accommodation. You are strongly advised to take out travel insurance which covers any financial loss resulting from unavoidable cancellation.
Accommodation
La Maison des Amis is let from 4 pm on the date of arrival and must be vacated by 11 am on the date of departure. This allows us time to prepare for each arrival. You are expected to leave the accommodation in a clean and tidy state and any breakages/equipment failure must be brought to our attention at the time. An additional breakage deposit of 250 € is charged on each booking and is retained to cover damage/loss or unreasonable cleaning requirements. We reserve the right to make reasonable deductions when appropriate. The deposit (whole or part) will be returned within 14 days of the date of departure, to your address with explanation as necessary. Clean bedding is provided on a weekly basis but we do not provide soaps or detergents etc. We ask you not to use bleach or anti-bacterial cleaners since they can affect the efficiency of the waste system. We provide a welcome pack of some essentials for your arrival.
We would prefer if you did not smoke inside La Maison and we thank you for your co-operation in this.
We will not be liable for any failure of electricity, gas or water supplies to la Maison des Amis; nor in regard of any equipment, machinery or appliance in the accommodation or grounds; nor any other matters beyond the reasonable control of ourselves; nor for any loss, damage or inconvenience caused to or suffered by any guest should the property be destroyed or substantially damaged prior to the rental period, other than the amount already paid by you in respect of the rental. Under no circumstances shall our liability to you exceed the amount paid to us by you for the rental period.
The use of the accommodation, grounds, equipment or other amenities is entirely at your risk and we accept no responsibility for any injury, loss or damage to guests personally, their belongings or vehicles.
EU residents, excluding French residents, are reminded to bring form E111 (healthcare cover) with you.
