A deposit of 25% is required to confirm the booking; this will normally be paid by Credit/Debit Card. Should you wish to pay the deposit by cheque we will hold the provisional booking for three days. On payment of the deposit we will confirm the booking by E-Mail or letter and indicate the balance due and date it is required. The balance must be paid at least 6 weeks before the commencement of the holiday. If the holiday commences within 6 weeks of making the booking the full balance is due at the time of booking.

Thank you for booking Sycamore Barn we look forward to welcoming you. When you make this booking you are entering into an agreement with us. Please read the terms and conditions of booking.

1. Prices:
The property provides accommodation for a maximum of four (4) adults. By arrangement a cot and/or a temporary bed may be provided for a small child. The number of people occupying the property will not exceed the number stated at the time of booking.
The price of the accommodation includes bed linen,  towels and electricity.

2. Pets:
Pets are not allowed in this accommodation.

3. Smoking:
Smoking is not permitted in this accommodation.

4. Cancellation and Insurance:
Once you have booked your holiday, our agreement is a legal contract. Should you find it necessary to cancel your holiday, we will endeavour to re-let the cottage and any monies paid will be returned less a £25 administration charge. In the unfortunate event of the cottage not being re-let, you will be liable for the full cost of the cottage rental, whether or not you have paid the balance. I would therefore advise that you obtain suitable insurance to cover such unforeseen circumstances at the time of booking.

5. Non-Availability of accommodation:
Should we have to cancel your reservation for any reason, we shall only be liable for refunding the amount paid and our liability would not extend beyond this refund.

6. Arrival/Departure:
Your accommodation will be available from 3.00pm on the day of arrival, unless otherwise arranged. Please do not arrive earlier as we will be servicing the accommodation and not available to welcome you.
Please vacate the accommodation by 10am on the day of departure and try to leave it as clean as possible. Any delay in departure will prevent the accommodation from being fully serviced for our next guests.

7. Damaged and Breakages:
Please take care with our property. We accept that accidents can happen, but you are responsible and liable for breakages or damage that you cause to the accommodation or its contents. Please report these as soon as they occur in order that they can be rectified with minimal inconvenience to our next guests. We would not normally charge for minor breakages, but we reserve the right to charge you for any significant breakage or damage, especially if you fail to notify us prior to leaving.

8. Liability:
We do not accept any liability for any damage, loss or injury to any member of your party or any vehicle or possessions, unless proven to be caused by a negligent act by ourselves.

9. Data:
Any data collected during the course of this booking may be kept on computer.
