The Dairy House Booking Conditions

The Dairy House Booking Conditions

1.        Contract

  The contract entered into is between Gilbert & Sue Archdale, the owners of The Dairy House, Motcombe, Dorset and the principal holidaymaker hereinafter referred to as "The Hirer".  The contract is effective once the required deposit payment has been received from The Hirer.

  2.       Deposit Payment

  For reservations made more than 8 weeks before the start date we request a non-refundable deposit of 30% (thirty per cent) of the stated rental cost for the relevant time period.  In the case of bookings made less than 8 weeks before the start date, full payment is due on booking.

  3.       Balance Outstanding

  The full balance of the total holiday cost, including the housekeeping bond, is payable not later than 8 weeks before the arrival date.  If not paid the owners reserve the right to cancel the booking, in which case the 30% deposit will be forfeited.

  4.       Booking alterations by the owner

  If, for reasons beyond their control, the owners have to cancel or alter arrangements made for The Hirer, they will make every effort to offer an appropriate alternative.  If The Hirer does not accept the alternative offered, the owners will return to The Hirer any monies paid whereupon the owners' liability will cease.

  5.        Numbers in party/Suitability

  The number of persons occupying the property must not exceed eight unless by prior arrangement with the owners.  Please note that The Dairy House is neither equipped for or suitable to host large numbers of additional 'guests', either overnight or for example for a drinks party or barbecue.  The owners reserve the right to refuse any booking which, in their opinion, is unsuitable for The Dairy House.  Please note we do not normally accept single sex groups for weekend breaks.  

  6.        Occupancy

Occupancy is normally from 3 p.m. on the start date to 10 a.m. on the day of departure, unless otherwise agreed by the owners.  Occupancy is from Saturday to Saturday, unless agreed otherwise or for weekend or mid-week breaks.

  7.         Cleaning

The Dairy House is cleaned thoroughly by the owners in between lets.  However please make sure that you leave the property in a clean and tidy condition at the end of your stay.  Cleaning materials and equipment are provided.

8.          Breakages and Damage

  Please report any breakages or damage which may occur during your stay to the owners immediately. The Hirer undertakes to pay for any damage or losses incurred during occupation or any extra cleaning costs incurred.  The owners reserve the right to repossess the property if excessive damage is caused by The Hirer or a member of the party.  A housekeeping bond of £100, payable in advance and refundable at the end of your stay, is required.

  9.          Smoking

  Please note that in the interests of our guests, The Dairy House is a strictly non-smoking property.
