a. Agreement - This agreement is for the hire of the (agreed) property for short term holiday let. This agreement is formally entered into between Awebridge Holiday Let and the Hirer when the deposit payment has been received.

​

b. Deposit - Awebridge Holiday Let's payment terms are as follows: the deposit of £200 secures the booking. The payment of the deposit must be made within seven days of the date the booking is acknowledged by Awebridge Holiday Let.

Your booking will be held for that time but not fully secured until the deposit is received. The balance of the total of your holiday will be due for payment six weeks before the start of your holiday.

If you make a booking within six weeks of the start of the holiday we will request the full amount for the booking within 7 days. A booking admin fee of £15 is payable on all bookings and a fully refundable bond of £100 is also to be paid at the same time as the balance (6 weeks before the start of your holiday).

Excessively soiled linen which requires extra cleaning will be subject to a laundry charge.  Linen which cannot be cleaned will be charged for and deducted from the security bond.

The booking will automatically be forfeited if the deposit is not made within 7 days (although if there are unavoidable delays, please do contact us to discuss).

Should the full payment of the balance not be paid within the timescales above, the booking will be cancelled and the deposit is forfeited. (We would recommend you contact us at your earliest opportunity if you feel there may be unavoidable delays..

All payments will be acknowledged and payment reminders sent by email.

​

c. Payments - Payments can be made by bank transfer or cheque only in £ sterling. all necessary details will be supplied via email.

​

d. Property Damage - A fully refundable bond of £100 is also required. We expect this to be paid at time of the balance request (or before). (See timescales above). This bond will be returned in full within 7 days of the end of the booking. However, if any damage to the property or contents, beyond reasonable wear and tear, be incurred by the Hirer or excessive additional cleaning be required, the cost of this will be advised to the Hirer after the booking is complete and taken from the bond with proof of damage and costs supplied where possible.

​

e. Cancellation - Please advise us as soon as possible should a booking need to be cancelled.

If you cancel your holiday more than 6 weeks before the start of your holiday, there will be a £25 administration charge incurred. Your deposit will be returned to you (less the admin charge) as soon as a replacement booking has been made. If another booking cannot be secured, the full deposit will be retained.

If you have paid the full amount for your holiday, the full amount will be returned (less £25 admin charge) as soon as a replacement booking has been found. If no replacement can be secured, the full amount of your booking will be retained.

We will make every attempt to replace your booking should you need to cancel. If this can be achieved, a full refund will be give less £25 admin fee. It might be necessary to reduce the price or length of the booking to obtain a replacement and it is therefore is cheaper than the original term, the cost of this difference will be retained as well as the £25 admin fee.

Awebridge Holiday Let strongly recommend that hirers take out holiday insurance to cover this eventuality.
