Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions (the “Booking Contract”) are between and shall bind the property owner or manager (“we”, “us” and “our”) and the holidaymaker(s) who book our property (the “Property”) through the Turford House Website (the “Website”) or by Email (“Email”). Each such booking is referred to in the Booking Contract as a “Booking”. References to “you” or “your” are references to the person making the booking and all members of the holiday party test.

Any Booking is subject to the Booking Contract. This Booking Contract and/or our confirmation email contain the entire agreement between us and you and forms the basis of your agreement with us so please read them carefully. Nothing in this Booking Contract affects your usual statutory rights.

For the avoidance of doubt, you acknowledge and agree that the provider of the Property is the Property Owners Paul and Rose James trading as Turford House Lettings.

Where you have only paid an Initial Deposit, you are required to send to Turford House Lettings or nominated name/bank account your payment for the Balance and you may be required to pay the Damage Deposit and/or Other Fees within a certain period prior to the arrival date specified in the email confirmation (the “Arrival Date”). If you fail to make the balance payment due to us in full and on time, we shall be entitled to treat your Booking as cancelled by you and the Cancellation Policy (as defined below) shall apply.

We would not expect to have to make any changes to your Booking once it is agreed between you and us, but sometimes problems occur and we do have to make alterations or, very occasionally cancel Bookings.

If this does happen, we will contact you as soon as is reasonably practical and inform you of the cancellation or the change to your Booking. If we cancel your Booking, Turford House Lettings will refund you any fees you have already paid to Turford House Lettings. However, we will not be liable to refund you for any fees you may have paid to any third party in connection with your holiday (including, without limitation, fees for travel, entertainment, activities or insurance).

You can arrive at the Property after the time specified by us on the Arrival Date for your holiday and you must leave by the time specified by us on the departure date we give you. We will let you know these times in writing in advance of your stay.

If your arrival will be delayed, you must contact the person whose details are given on the booking confirmation email so that alternative arrangements can be made. If you fail to do so you may not be able to gain access to the Property. If you fail to arrive by midday on the day after the Arrival Date and you do not advise the contact of your anticipated late arrival we may treat the Booking as having been cancelled by you and we shall be under no obligation to refund you via Turford House Lettings for fees already paid to us. Please see the Cancellation Policy for further details.

You agree to comply with the regulations set out in any property manual at the Property and any other regulations reasonably specified by us from time to time and ensure that they are observed by all members of your party. You agree to keep and leave the Property and the furnishings, including items such as kitchen equipment, crockery and glasses clean and in good condition with rubbish removed to the waste bin.

You agree not to cause any damage to the walls, doors, windows or any other part of the Property nor to do anything that may be reasonably considered to cause a nuisance or annoyance to us or to any other occupier of adjoining or neighboring properties.

You agree to take all necessary steps to safeguard your personal property while at the Property. Any losses and/or damage to your personal property during the Booking period is at your entire risk.

You agree to ensure that each member of your party is covered by comprehensive travel insurance (including cancellation, flight delays, loss and damage to baggage and other property) and health insurance (including evacuation and repatriation coverage).

You cannot allow more people to stay in the Property than expressly authorised, nor can you significantly change the makeup of the party during your stay in the Property, nor can you take your pet into the Property unless permitted by us in writing in advance. If you do so, we can refuse to hand over the Property to you or can require you to leave it. We will treat any of these circumstances as a cancellation of the Booking by you and we shall be under no obligation to refund you for any fees already paid to us in those circumstances. Any refund will be at our sole discretion.

You agree to allow us or any representative of ours access to the Property at any reasonable time during your stay for the purpose of essential repairs, in an emergency or to ensure you are complying with this Booking Contract.

You agree to pay the Cost caused by you or any member of your booking party for any damage and/or loss caused to the Property and/or its Furniture, Fittings and Equipment. The Cost shall be calculated by obtaining quotations to repair the damage or replace the lost items and/or reasonable estimates for the damage and/or loss caused by you. The Cost shall be paid into the Property Owners nominated bank account no later than 3 days from the date of invoice/email notification. If you fail to pay the costs of the damage and/or loss by the nominated payment date the debt maybe referred to the Court for recovery as a debt due.

Our maximum liability for losses you suffer as a result of us acting in breach of this Booking Contract is strictly limited to the amounts received by us in relation to your Booking. We shall not be liable for any losses which are not a foreseeable consequence of us breaching this Booking Contract. Losses are foreseeable where they could be contemplated by you and us at the time your Booking is confirmed by us.

Your Booking is made as a consumer for the purpose of a holiday and you acknowledge that we will not be liable for any business losses howsoever suffered or incurred by you.

For the avoidance of doubt, Turford House Lettings and/or its Owners shall not be liable to you or responsible for:

• any issue between you and us regarding the Booking;
• any failure in relation to any payments due to the failure of a payment solution provided by a third party; and
• the rejection of any payment of yours by a third party payment solution provider.
• any losses and/or damage to your property during the Booking.
