Reservations for accommodation by guests (the Guest) are accepted by Felinwen holidays on behalf of property owners M and S Clarke (the Owner).

The Agreement: The rental agreement is between the Guest and the Owner.  The contract is deemed to have been made once the Guest has paid a deposit and the a confirmation of booking has been sent by the Owner. The Guest must be over 18 years of age at the time of booking.

Booking: The Guest who makes the booking is deemed to have agreed to these Terms and Conditions will be responsible for all persons included in the booking and should ensure that they are all aware of these Terms & Conditions. The Owner reserves the right to decline any booking or refuse to hand over a key to any person who has not complied with these Terms & Conditions. Bookings made via AirBnB will be subject to the terms and conditions of that platform and will be transferred to Bookalet by the Owner to maintain the availability calendar and to track and manage bookings.

Payment: Bookings and the refund on cancellation are set out on payment by the Bookalet service. Where a Guest fails to pay their balance by the due date the booking may be cancelled and the deposit retained.  Bookings made via AirBnB will be subject to the payment and refund conditions on that platform.

Cleaning: The Guest is responsible for leaving the accommodation in good order and in a clean condition; otherwise a cleaning charge will be levied. Guests are expected to leave the property in a similar state to which they find it (reasonable cleaning excepted).

Number of People using Holiday Accommodation: The Owner permits the Guest and members of the Guest’s party (but no one else) to occupy the property for holiday purposes only. The Guest must declare the correct number of additional Guests during booking and, if this changes, must inform the Owner before the rental commences of any change. No more than the maximum number of persons stated on the website may occupy a property unless by prior written agreement with the Owner. Extra charges may be applicable if the number of Guests differs from the number on the booking.  The health and safety of all guests is of the utmost importance to the Owner and so they must know who is on site at all times. Visitors are permitted providing the Owner is informed prior to their arrival.  Visitors are subject to these terms and conditions whilst on site.

Arrival/Departure: The property is available for occupation from 3.00 pm on the first day of the holiday and must be vacated by 11.00am on the last day.

Cancellation or Changes by the Guest: Once the holiday is booked the Guest has entered into a legally binding contract. Cancellations can be actioned by emailing the Owner only if you have booked via the Owner’s website or via the AirBnB website for bookings placed there. 

AirBnB bookings are subject to the same conditions and refunds are per terms for those booked via our site also. These are; a full refund for cancellations made within 48 hours of booking if the book in date is at least 14 days away. 50% refund for cancellations made at least 7 days prior to check in. No refunds for cancellations made less than 7 days prior to check in.

It is recommended and expected that the Guest will have or will take out a holiday insurance policy (which includes cancellation insurance covering sickness and unavoidable reasons for cancellation) prior to their stay.

Freedom Camping Membership: In order to use the site you must become a member of Freedom Camping for 28 days to meet the planning exemption of the site. This is free of charge and it is the Guests’ right to not continue any membership. The Owner will administer this on the Guests’ behalf and the Guest must agree to the data required to join being passed to Freedom Camping.

Pets: The Guest may only bring such pets as are booked in by the Guest at the time of booking. We allow up to 3 well behaved dogs, (size is not an issue, but you do need to be happy that you can share the space with them) who will not worry livestock. Our livestock are used to dogs, but they must not be attacked.. The site is a working small holding and all animals visiting must be under the control of their owners at all times.  Pets must be well-behaved and should not be left unattended in the property at any time.  Arrangements made be made with the Owner to leave the dogs in their care, at the Guests’ risk where the Owner has the availability to do so. Where the Guests do this it is at their risk and whilst care will be taken the Owner is not liable for any injury or loss of the pets. Guests are not permitted to leave pets in the lodge in order to go out. They are not permitted on any furniture in the property. If damage or extra cleaning is caused by pets the Guest will be billed for that charge. The garden is not guaranteed as secure for dogs even if described as private or enclosed.

By booking you accept these terms and conditions. This extends to agreeing to pay for any damage the Guest’s dog(s) cause to the Owner’s property, in full.

The Guest will remain liable for the whole cost of rental and no refund shall be due.
