CANCELLATION

In the event of cancellation, for any reason, we will make every effort to re-let the property at full cost. If the property can be re-let, we will refund all monies paid. After the holiday has taken place.

If we are unable to re-let the property you will become liable for the full cost of the holiday.

It is a condition however that we are notified immediately by telephone of the circumstances giving rise to a cancellation, and it is promptly confirmed in writing.

We strongly recommend that you take out Cancellation Insurance.
