Booking
Conditions
Please
read these Terms and Conditions carefully. Your booking
and payment constitutes acceptance of them.
1
A Booking will be considered binding upon both sides
once a Booking Form and Deposit has been received
and acknowledged in writing by Leisure and Property
International Ltd. (the Company) trading as Sherborne
Cottages and Apartments.
2
Provisional telephone reservations will only be held
for 72 hours until the receipt of a Booking Form and
will not be considered binding thereafter.

The Company reserves the right to refuse to accept
a Booking and in this event all fees paid will be
immediately refunded. Bookings for stag or hen parties
will not be accepted.
4
In accepting your Booking the Company agrees to carry
out all our obligations to you as described in our
brochure, website and other documents supplied to
you.
5
Once a Booking is confirmed by the Company, the individual
who has made the booking (the principal client) is
responsible for the balance of payments due. These
shall be paid not later than eight weeks before the
Booking is due to commence.
6
To avoid any misunderstanding all references to ‘the
client’ in these conditions in regard to contractual
responsibilities and obligations by either party (the
company and the Client) extend to all individuals
named on the booking form and any others subsequently
added to the booking.
7
A Booking Form from the Company’s
website must be sent/submitted either with payment
or immediately after payment has been received. The
Booking will not be considered binding until the Booking
Form is received by the Company.
8
The Deposit is non-refundable unless we are unable
to confirm your Booking, in which case it will be
retuned in full.
9
A Deposit payment of 25% of the rental is payable
on Booking. An invoice will be issued for the Balance
and Security Deposit, which will be due to be paid
no later than eight weeks prior to arrival.
10
A Security Deposit will be payable
to the Company for all bookings. This Security Deposit
is held to cover any losses, damage and additional
cleaning charges if the property is left in an unsatisfactory
condition. In normal circumstances and if no additional
charges are necessary the Security Deposit will be
refunded within four working days of the end of your
holiday.
11
For Bookings made less than eight weeks prior to arrival
the full amount must be paid upon Booking
12
A change of holiday dates for the same property can
be made subject both to availability and the payment
of a £50 Administration Fee.
13
The confirmed booking and rental agreement is made
on the basis that the Property is to be occupied by
the clients for a holiday as mentioned in the Housing
Act 1988 Schedule 1 paragraph 9 and the clients acknowledge
that the tenancy granted by this agreement is not
an assured tenancy and that no statutory periodic
tenancy will arise when it ends.
14
When paying a Deposit, Cancellation Insurance must
be booked with us unless adequate proof of alternative
insurance is supplied at time of booking. If payment
is made in full then Cancellation Insurance is optional.
15
The Company reserves the right to re-let any holiday
where any payments due are more than 14 days in arrears,
whereupon any monies paid by the client over and above
the non-refundable Deposit and Cancellation Insurance
Premium will be refunded. However, if the Company
is unable to re-let the property for the same period
the client will remain liable for the outstanding
Balance due for the cost of the holiday.
16
In the event of cancellations not covered by Insurance,
the Company will endeavour to re-let the accommodation,
and if successful the balance of the cost of the holiday
will not be due as in paragraph 5 above, or if already
paid, will be refunded. However the Booking Fee and,
if applicable, Cancellation Insurance Premium will
be retained.
17
All properties supplied by the Company to clients
are done so on the clear understanding they are to
be smoke free, i.e. smoking is not permitted therein.
18
Pets are not permitted to stay in any of the Company’s
properties. Exceptions will be permitted for Seeing
Eye Dogs.
19
Lettings commence at 3.00pm on the first day of tenancy
and end at 10.00am on the day of departure unless
agreed otherwise in writing. The period cannot be
exceeded unless the Company gives approval in writing
and the Clients will be liable for any extra costs
of whatsoever nature incurred because of any unauthorised
extension.
20
Company representatives shall be allowed access to
the Property at any reasonable time during any holiday
occupancy.
21
In the event of there being cause for complaint concerning
a Property, the matter should be taken up with the
Company at once. It is important that this is done
whilst the client is still at the Property so that
an on-the-spot investigation can be made if necessary
and remedial action taken if required. In no circumstances
will compensation be considered for complaints raised
after the holiday has ended when the a client has
denied the Company the opportunity to investigate
the complaint and endeavouring to remedy matters during
the holiday.
22
Under no circumstances may pets or people other than
those specified on the Booking Form occupy the property.
23
The Client agrees to take good care
of the property and the Client shall keep the Property
and all furniture, fixtures, fittings and effects
in or on the property in the same state of repair
as at the commencement of the holiday. The Client
agrees to leave the Property and its contents in the
same state of cleanliness and general order in which
it was supplied prior to vacating the property. If
this is not so done the Company has the right to deduct
a cleaning charge not in excess of the necessary repairs
and work to be undertaken from the Security Deposit.
24
The Client will be responsible for
the full cost of any damages or breakages and any
exceptional cleaning and this liability is not limited
to the amount of the Security Deposit held by the
Company.
25
The Client will not cause any annoyance or become
a nuisance to owners, tenants or occupants of adjoining
premises and properties.
26
The Client must report and pay to the Company the
cost of any damage or breakages made during their
holiday occupancy. The Company reserves the right
to make a charge where guests have contravened paragraph
17 that the Property should be smoke free. In order
to comply with the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts
Regulations 1999 the amount of such a charge should
not be more than the cost of the cleaning. Any charge
will be deducted from the Security Deposit.
27
The Client/Holidaymakers right to occupy the Property
may be forfeited without compensation if: a)
More
people than specified on the Booking Form and/or
the number the Property holds, attempt to take
up occupation.
b) Overnight guests are entertained without the Company’s
express permission. c) Any activity is undertaken
which may cause unreasonable damage, noise or disturbance.
In these cases the Company reserves the right to
re-enter
the property and terminate the tenancy. Furthermore
if additional people stay at the Property without
the
Company being so advised and giving approval the
an amount of £35 per person per night will
be deducted from the Security Deposit.
