Hall Farm Cottages - Terms
and Conditions of Hire
8. Availability. Your booking is accepted on the understanding
that your confirmed Cottage will be available for your use on the agreed
date. Very occasionally; ‘‘force majeure” does not make this possible.
Where “force majeure” (as defined in clause 9) arises, we have the right
to cancel your booking. In this event we will endeavour to offer you
an alternative Cottage, if available. If we cannot do so or if you do
not wish to accept the alternative we offer we will refund all monies
you have paid to us in full. Where any cancellation or change results
from ‘’force majeure” as defined in clause 9, our liabilities are limited
to offering you an alternative Cottage (where available) or full refund
as set out above. We regret we cannot pay any compensation or meet any
expenses or costs you may incur as a result of any such cancellation
or change. We reserve the right to alter or withdraw amenities or facilities
which have either been advertised or previously available without prior
notice. We have the right to refuse to hand over accommodation to any
person(s) who in our reasonable opinion is not suitable to take charge
of it. In such cases, all hire charges paid will be refunded in full
and the Contract shall be terminated, and we will have no further liability.
We reserve the right to request a security deposit at the time of takeover
of the accommodation should we deem this to be necessary. If, in our
opinion any person(s) is not suitable to continue the holiday because
of unreasonable behaviour, damage to property or annoyance to other
holidaymakers the Contract may be terminated. In this event the owner
will have no further liability.The hirer shall also remain liable to
pay the hire price and no refund shall be due.
Damage to Accommodation The hirer shall also be liable
for any damage caused in the accommodation during the period of hire,
and any additional expenses incured associated with repair or replacement
as a result of such damage. We have the right to enter any accommodation
(without prior notice if this is not practical or possible), if special
circumstances or emergencies arise.(for example,if repairs need to be
carried out)
Single-sex/Group/Party Bookings. The accommodation is provided
primarily for families and private individuals. Organisers or leaders
of other groups/parties, or those booking the accommodation in a professional
capacity must inform us, at the time of booking, so that the suitability
of the accommodation, and the possible effect their group may have on
other holidaymakers, can be considered. We reserve the right not to
accept bookings from groups or individuals we consider unsuitable for
the accommodation, or who may, in our opinion, disturb other holidaymakers.
Wheelchair/Disabled Persons. All of our cottages have a downstairs
bedroom with en-suite roll-in toilet and shower room and are suitable
for accompanied disabled persons. However to ensure that visitors’ particular
requirements are met to the best of our ability it is essential that
those with disabled /special needs persons in their party should fully
inform us of their circumstances at the time of booking.
9. Force Majeure. We regret we cannot accept responsibility or
pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of
our contract with you is prevented or affected by reason of circumstances
which amount to “force majeure”. Circumstances amounting to “force majeure’
include any event which we could not, even with all due care foresee
or avoid. Such circumstances include the destruction or damage of your
Cottage (which cannot reasonably be remedied to a satisfactory standard
before the start of your holiday); through fire, flood, explosion, storm
or other weather damage, break-in, criminal damage or any similar event.
Such circumstances also include riots or civil strife, industrial action,
natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, war or threat
of war, actual or threatened terrorist activity and all similar situations
beyond our control.
