IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT CLIENTS TAKE OUT HOLIDAY INSURANCE TO COVER CANCELLATION FEES AND ANY OTHER LOSSES THAT MAY OCCUR!
Management Company: If there is anything in the home or associated with the pool/spa that needs attention then please let the management company know immediately. Under no circumstances attempt to effect a repair yourself. Occupants will be fully accountable for any damage caused whilst tampering with any equipment, fixtures or fittings relating to the property.
The client agrees to permit the Owners or Agents access to the property to carry out maintenance if necessary.
No inventory items must be removed from the villa. This includes linens and towels. The client agrees to pay for any breakages, losses or damage to the property and must report these to the Management Company immediately.
Occupancy: The property is available for occupancy after 4.00 p.m. on the day of arrival and must be vacated by 11.00 a.m. on the day of departure. The maximum number of persons allowed to occupy the villa at any given time is 12. Anyone found in breach of this condition will have their booking terminated and be asked to leave the villa without compensation or re-imbursement of any monies paid.
Pool/Spa Heating: If you have paid to have the pool heated, or it is included in your rental price, then please note that if the outside temperature drops below 55 degrees Fahrenheit the heat compressor will shut down automatically and the pool will lose heat. The unit will automatically turn back on when the temperature rises above 55 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a safety measure and is beyond our control, you should be aware that no refunds can be given on pool heat under these circumstances. It should also be stated that this is extremely unlikely to happen during daytime hours when the pool heater is in operation. Refunds can only be given when the pool heater is found to be faulty. The pool heater will run for 12 hours per day and will reach a maximum temperature of between 83 - 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
The pool is equipped with a pool blanket. In order for the pool to retain its heat efficiently you will need to place the blanket on the surface of the pool when it is not in use and at night when the heat pump will be automatically switched off. Failure to do this will make a huge difference in the amount of time taken for the pool to reach a comfortable temperature when the heat pump is switched on in the morning. When placed on the pool surface the blanket will float until removed, however, should anyone step onto the blanket it will not support their weight. Therefore please be extremely careful when the blanket is on the pool, take extra care when you are walking in the pool area and under no circumstances allow children to use the pool area unsupervised.
No Smoking policy: Please note that the owners do not allow smoking within the villa. Smoking is permitted within the pool area.
Pets: No pets allowed.
Complaints: In the unlikely event of a complaint during your stay please contact the management company named in your villa information details immediately. If they are unable to resolve the matter please notify us in writing within 30 days of your return. We cannot accept any liability in respect of complaints received after this date.
Contract: The contract is governed by and interpreted in accordance with English law and the parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of English courts.
