Arrivals & Departures
The house will be ready by 4pm, and the property must be vacated by 10am on day of departure. Details of how to get to the house and key collection details will be given following receipt of final balance.
Cleaning
The house will always be clean and tidy for your arrival and should be left in the same way on departure. The following must be carried out:
All of the bins must be emptied and taken to the outside bins at the end of the drive. The general rubbish and recycling must be separated.
Any dog mess must be removed, even from the long grass within the garden.
The kitchen (including the cooker, oven and microwave) must be cleaned.
Any damages must be reported and paid for prior to departure.
If the property is left in a dirty or inappropriate manner this will result in an additional cleaning surcharge.
Charging Electric Vehicles
An EV charger is available at Shore Croft (Paid for by the guest using the charger). Under no circumstances shall anyone charge their vehicle using a 3 pin plug, plugged into the house socket.
Good housekeeping deposit
A £200 good housekeeping deposit may be taken against the debit or credit card and retained by the bank or credit card company and will only be received by the owner if necessary following the holiday. This will only be taken if the house is not left in the condition it was found in when arriving at the house.

We do accept dogs at an extra charge. However we do so with the understanding that owners will not under any circumstances allow their dogs onto the furniture or up the stairs. Dogs must never be left in the house unattended and all dog mess must be cleaned up from the garden. Any damage caused by a dog will be charged in full.

If hiring bikes a disclaimer must be agreed to stating you agree to certain conditions.
Damages
Breakages of plates, glasses etc will not normally be charged for but all other damages and losses will be charged in full.
Occupancy
The occupancy of the property should never exceed 8 people as this would cease the terms of our licence.

The owners will not be responsible for any loss or damage or any injury to persons not caused through the fault of the owners.
Holiday Protection
To minimise the cost and inconvenience of cancelled bookings we would advise you to take out holiday insurance. As well as cancellation insurance, guests are recommended to take out holiday insurance to cover loss or damage to personal effects.
Restriction on Rental
We reserve the right to remove person or persons from the property due to unreasonable behaviour, damage to the property or exceeding the stated occupancy. In this case refund will be at the discretion of the owners.

If we are unable to re-let, cancellation costs will be incurred as follows:
More than 8 weeks before booking commences your deposit will be forfeited
Less than 8 weeks you will be liable to pay the full cost of rental
Repairs to the property
Occasionally due to damage or wear and tear an item of equipment may not be working. We will do our utmost to repair it as quickly as possible. However due to the remoteness of the house this can sometimes take longer than usual.
