To confirm your booking you pay 25% of the total cost. The total includes a £150 refundable damage deposit (waived for returning guests). For example, a £517 stay plus the £150 damage deposit comes to £667, so £167 is due when you book and the remaining £500 is due 8 weeks before your arrival date.

If you book within 8 weeks of arrival, the full amount is due when you book.

We accept card payments (processed securely via Stripe) and bank transfer. Both options are available on the booking form — full payment details are provided at the time of booking.

The £150 refundable damage deposit is refunded within 7 days of your departure date, provided the property is left in good order. Returning guests who use their guest code have the damage deposit waived entirely.
