gite-holiday.co.uk terms

The owners have taken great care to give a true and honest representation of the properties on this website. However, there may be changes related to information on this web site which from time to time out of our control or not updated immediately. The gites featured on gite-holiday.co.uk are subject to the following terms and conditions…

Period of hire
Rental commences at 4pm on the day of arrival and terminates at 10am on the day of departure. This is important as time is required for change-over before the arrival of the next guests.

Smoking
All our gites operate a no smoking policy.

Pets
Due to the possibility of some guests being allergic to pet hairs, we regret that we have a policy of not accepting any pets.

Contract
gite-holiday.co.uk operates short term holiday rentals of the properties at Les Bigoussies in France. The contract will be entered into when gite-holiday.co.uk issues a confirmation e-mail or letter and will be subject to all booking conditions.

Payment
A deposit of 20% of the booking total is payable if the booking is made more than 6 weeks before the start of the rental. The balance (plus a security deposit of £200) will be payable 6 weeks before the commencement of the rental. Non payment of the balance of the rental on or before the due date shall be deemed as a cancellation of the contract by the client. For bookings made less than 6 weeks before the commencement of the rental, the total fee and security deposit are payable at the time of the booking. All payments should be made to David & Maria Bailey and forwarded to the following address;

Gite Holiday

A security deposit of £200 is payable for each booking. This is fully refundable, less any charge for breakages or damage caused during the rental period.

Cancellation
Any cancellation for whatever reason should be made in writing to gite-holiday.co.uk. On receipt of cancellation gite-holiday.co.uk will seek to re-let the property for the period of the booking. If gite-holiday.co.uk is successful in obtaining a booking for the whole period it shall refund all monies paid at the time of cancellation less a £20 administration fee. If gite-holiday.co.uk is only able to re-let the property for part of the period cancelled, it shall refund an amount equal to the money paid less the rental for the period which is not re-let and less the administrative fee as detailed above. If gite-holiday.co.uk is unable to re-let the property for any period no refund will be due. Further, any outstanding balance due for the booking shall be deemed as payable. gite-holiday.co.uk recommends that clients should take out Holiday Insurance Cancellation cover as a precaution for unforeseen circumstances.
