We understand that things happen, which may mean the holiday has to be cancelled. If we have to cancel the holiday for whatever reason - eg the virus or in the local area in lockdown, we will give a full refund. If the cottage is open and you have to cancel then our following cancellation policy applies. We always recommend that you to take out appropriate cancellation and travel insurance for your holiday.
In the first instance we will always try to fit you in with an alternative date, or at our other property, but if you do need to cancel our terms are as follows for bookings made directly through us and not via an agent (they have their own terms):-
