Coast 2 Coast Holidays

Terms and Conditions

1. Holiday Tenancy

This agreement is made on the basis that the house is to be occupied by the tenant for a holiday for a specified period. It is a contract between the house owner and the tenant/applicant (named on the booking application). The tenant must be over 21 years of age; will have responsibility for the property and must have the authority to ensure that all members of the party observe these booking conditions.

2. Reservation

Once the requested dates are confirmed as being available they will be reserved in the applicant's name for 5 days. If payment as outlined below is not received in that time we regret that the reservation will be cancelled.

3. Payments from the UK

Bookings more than 8 weeks in advance:

 A deposit of 30% of the cost of the holiday is due on booking

 The balance must be paid in full 8 weeks before the holiday start date.

Payments can be made either by phone in normal office hours or cheque.

Receipts for payments made will be issued once payment has been processed (usually 4 working days after cheques have been banked)

Non payment of the balance will entitle the owner to re-let the holiday. As a rule, reminder notices will not be issued.

4. Overseas Payments

Payments from outside the UK can be made via Paypal. There is a small fee for this service.

5. Cancellation

All cancellations must be made in writing. Please note that the following terms and charges will apply:

At least 6 months prior to arrival: A full refund of monies paid less an administration fee of £50.

60 days to 6 months prior to arrival: The applicant is liable for 30% of the cost of the holiday or £75, whichever is minimum.

60 days or less prior to arrival: The applicant is liable for the full cost of the holiday

If, however, the owner is successful in re-letting the property for some or all of the same period they shall return the rent paid for the period which has been re-let, less any costs necessarily incurred to re-let the property e.g. advertising, administration. No assurances can be offered that this will be so, therefore, holiday insurance is strongly recommended.

6. Changes to a Booking

Applicants wishing to change reserved holiday dates may do so providing the property is available and the owner is in agreement. An administration fee of £15 will apply.

7. No Smoking Policy
