What happens when I submit my reservation request?
This site does not have live availability. Therefore, the fact that your
request shows a price does not mean it is definitely available. When you
submit the request you will immediately receive an acknowledgement. If the
booking request is successful we will subsequently debit your card and email
you a confirmation. If the booking request is unsuccessful we will contact
you by phone or email, and where possible suggest alternatives. We will not
proceed with any alternative without your agreement. Your card will not be
debited until a booking has been made. NB: If you have submitted your credit
or debit card details we will always reply. If you have not heard from us it
is important that you do not presume that we have not processed your
booking. It is more likely that our email communications have failed or not
been delivered. In this case please phone us on ++44(0)1689882500
and ensure that you obtain a response.
Can I check availability before submitting the booking request?
Yes, just phone us on above numbers during our office hours (Monday-Friday
09:30-17:30 and Saturdays 09:30-14:30). For some properties we will be able
to tell you instantly, whilst others may be On Request from our suppliers.
When is payment due?
For some properties you pay in advance, for others you pay a deposit at the
time of booking and you pay the balance on arrival at the property. See individual
properties' "Payment Terms" with the notes below the prices.
For properties where the terms are "Before arrival", full payment is
required at the time of booking if it is for within 6 weeks of the first day
booked or the booking is for under €100. Otherwise, your card will be
debited 15% and the balance will be due 6 weeks before the first day booked.
You will receive a confirming invoice showing the amount paid, the amount
outstanding and the date by which it is due.
For properties where the terms are "Deposit, balance on arrival" you will
only be debited the deposit shown at the
time of booking. The balance you will have to pay at the property. You will receive a confirming invoice showing the amount paid
and the amount outstanding to be paid at the property.
Please note whether credit/debit cards are or are not accepted at the
property. Please also note that, in accordance with the properties'
cancellation policy, your card may be debited by the property or us if you
do not show up or you cancel within the prescribed time.
Once your reservation is accepted you will be sent an email
confirming the details of your reservation with a
Booking Ref.
In all further dealings concerning this reservation this
Booking Ref should be quoted.
Likewise, if for any reason your reservation is rejected you will be notified by email.
Special Requests
We will always pass on your requests to the properties, but please bear in
mind that they are not guaranteed. Please make any requests known at the
time of booking. If your request is absolutely essential please make it a
condition of your booking and we will try to obtain a guarantee from the
property. Please then ensure that we confirm it to you in your booking
confirmation.
How do I alter or cancel a reservation?
If you need to alter or cancel a reservation please either telephone us on

Are my credit card details secure?
Communication of payment information is performed using Secure Socket Layers
(SSL). This technology encrypts the information before it is sent to our
server.
This precaution not withstanding, all payment information is removed from
our web server at regular interval thus eliminating the physical link
between the internet and this data.
You can check in at most hotels as from 2.00 p.m. You are normally expected
to leave by 11.00 a.m. If you leave before 7.30 a.m you may not be able to
obtain breakfast (although most hotels at the Channel ports are organised to
serve very early breakfast).
Unless there is a 'Night Porter' service, if you are unavoidably delayed you
must telephone the hotel before 10.00 p.m to inform them of your late
arrival and obtain your room number and instructions. (You do not have to
telephone the hotel if you told us of your estimated time of arrival at the
time of booking.) The system for dealing with late arrivals varies from
hotel to hotel. Sometimes the main door of the hotel is left unlocked and
the key left in the lock of the bedroom door. However, you must let them
know you are definitely coming or they may not answer the bell. Some hotels
have an electronic system. To operate this and obtain your entry code you
need to know the 'Reservation Code'. (Hotels cannot normally give the
'Reservation Code' until the actual day of arrival). We regret we are unable
to claim refunds from hotels for unused accommodation.
As these are private houses you do not have the same flexibility in your
arrival times as with hotels. We, therefore, advise clients to plan to
arrive between 4.00 p.m and 7.00 p.m (6.00 p.m if you have arranged to eat
there). If you arrive earlier you may be alright but, if the owners are out,
you may have to wait. If you arrive later, you should be OK up to about 9.00
p.m. but please do not plan it that way. Apart from the inconvenience to the
owners you may have difficulty in finding the houses in the dark. If you are
unavoidably delayed, you will have to telephone your hosts to inform them of
your estimated time of arrival. You should vacate your rooms by 11.00 a.m on
your departure date.
All apartments are officially available from 17:00. In practice, however,
most apartments are normally ready by 12:00.
If you are due to arrive at the resort before 17:00 please inform us and we
will inform the suppliers who will do their best to have your apartment
ready for your arrival. However, this cannot be guaranteed, as sometimes
extra cleaning or repairs are necessary between lets, or there are too many
changeovers on the day.
You must vacate the apartment by 10:00 on your departure date. Failure to do
so may result in you losing your deposit. If you have a late flight consider
booking an extra day so that you can keep the apartment until you leave the
resort. Alternatively, if you only need somewhere to leave your luggage for
a few hours, enquire at the key collection point (agency or reception) and
they will usually offer you a solution. However, the apartments do not have
any official place for leaving luggage and wherever you leave it it will be
at your own risk.
If you are leaving very early, before the reception or agency opens, contact
them beforehand to arrange the return of your deposit and find out where you
should leave the keys.
