Bookings
Bookings can be made online, by telephone or by an email enquiry.
When you submit a booking via our online reservation system you will receive an automatically generated booking summary, by email, to the email address you provide in the booking form. This does not form a contract between us. A contract shall only arise when your booking is subsequently confirmed in writing, via a letter of confirmation sent to you, by post or email.
If you book by telephone or via email, we will provisionally reserve the cottage for you for 7 days. This does not form a contract between us. A contract shall only arise when your booking is subsequently confirmed in writing, via a letter of confirmation sent to you, by post or email, after we have received your completed booking form and deposit.
