Bookings and Payment

A provisional reservation can be made by telephone or e-mail if you provide your full name, address and telephone number/e-mail. Please note that your reservation will be held for five days pending receipt by us of a deposit of £60 per person per week together with confirmation of the size of your party.   The balance is payable by you no later than eight weeks before the commencement of your holiday. If your holiday is due to commence within eight weeks the total cost of your holiday is payable within five days of the date we confirm availability to you.  Time is of the essence and if you fail to make payment to us as stated, we shall be entitled to assume that you wish to cancel your booking.  In such circumstances, any deposit you have already paid to us will be forfeited and we shall be entitled to re-advertise the property for the dates you have reserved.

We may sometimes require a damage deposit of £100 per booking and if so this will be payable at the time the balance is payable.  We shall confirm at the time of accepting your booking whether a damage deposit is required.  Subject to the terms and conditions below, any damage deposit paid by you will be refunded no later than 14 days following the end of your holiday.

You may pay by card or cheque.  Cheques should be made payable to “AL & MA Walvish” and details or where to send your cheque will be provided to you on confirmation of availability.

General Terms and Conditions

Prices quoted are for seven nights self catering accommodation commencing and terminating on a Saturday.  We shall make appropriate arrangements for you to receive or collect the keys prior to your holiday but the property will not be available until after 3.00pm on the day of your arrival.  The property must be vacated by 10.00am on the last day of your holiday.  We shall advise on return of the keys.

All gas, electricity and bed linen is included in the price.   Please remember to bring your own towels.  A travel cot is available at the cottage for a cost of £10 per week (please note that bed linen is not provided for the travel cot).  A highchair may be available for a cost of £5 per week.

Your holiday group must not exceed the number as booked.  If it does we may at our absolute discretion refuse to allow you to take possession or ask you to vacate the property before the end of your holiday.  In such circumstances no refund will be given or considered.  Camping in the garden or grounds of the property is strictly prohibited.  Please note that Chapel Field does have a local caretaker and these terms and conditions will be strictly enforced.

Whilst staying at the property you are responsible for keeping the premises, all furniture and fittings, both inside and outside, in the state of repair, condition and cleanliness as you found them at the beginning of your holiday.  Chapel Field is lovingly cared for and we would ask that you treat the property and its contents with respect, leaving it clean and tidy.  The house and cottage are non-smoking and no pets or other animals are allowed during your stay.  Please note that you will be responsible for the cost of repairing any damage or replacing any breakages caused by the neglect or carelessness of any member of your party.  You will also be charged for any extra cleaning required in the event that the property is not left in a clean and tidy condition at the end of your stay.  We reserve the right to deduct any such costs from the damage deposit along with the right to demand from you any additional costs incurred by us in remedying the same or enforcing our rights hereunder.  Whilst at Chapel Field we expect you to show due respect and consideration to other people, whether they are also holidaying in the adjoining properties or are our neighbours nearby.  Please do not abuse Chapel Field in any way or display any rude, offensive or dangerous behaviour.  Whilst a great deal of thought and effort has gone into making your holiday and Chapel Field as enjoyable and comfortable as possible, should you have any cause for dissatisfaction or complaint we would request that you raise this with us as soon as possible.

Occasionally, a problem may result in some service or facility to Chapel Field being unavailable or restricted and we and/or our agents may require access to Chapel Field during your stay in order to effect repairs.  If such circumstances exist we shall endeavour to inform you in advance and to correct the problem as soon as possible (although we reserve the right on behalf of ourselves and our agents to enter the property without notice in cases of emergency).  Whilst every effort will be made to rectify any problems prior to or during your stay at Chapel Field, in cases of emergency, we may need to cancel your holiday (or any un-expired part thereof) if essential maintenance or emergency repairs are needed.  Should this unusual course of action be necessary any amounts paid by you will be refunded (i) in full if your holiday has not yet commenced or (ii) on a pro rata basis for the un-expired part of your stay if your holiday has commenced.

Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, we shall be under no liability to you, your guests or any other person whatsoever or howsoever arising and from whatever cause and whether in contract or tort (or both) arising in respect of any claim, loss, cost (consequential or otherwise) liability, damage or delay, personal injury or death of or to, or in connection with any person or property provided that nothing herein shall exclude any liability for death or personal injury to any person caused by our negligence to the extent that such exclusion is prohibited by statute.
