Cancellation: Once a booking is confirmed the hirer is responsible for the total cost of the holiday. Any cancellation must be made in writing.

The contract of insurance is made between the hirer and the insurer and any claim under the policy should be made direct to the insurer in accordance with the policy terms and conditions. In the event of a cancellation for any cause not covered by the cancellation insurance the owner will endeavour to re-let the property and if successful may refund any or all monies paid less the non returnable deposit.
Booking Alterations: Any change by the hirer in holiday dates will be subject to the agreement of the owner. If for reasons beyond the owner's control the owner has to cancel or alter arrangements made for the hirer the owner will return to the hirer any monies paid whereupon the owner‘s liability will cease.
