3.In the event of a cancellation refund of the deposit or full payment will only be paid if the "owner" is able to re-let the "property" successfully. The client is strongly recommended to arrange a comprehensive travel insurance policy (including cancellation cover) and to have full cover for the party’s personal belongings, public liability etc since these are not covered by the "owners" insurance.

Travel costs non inclusive.

10.Any chargeable expenses arising during the rental period e.g. wood, linen, electricity and gas supplements or damages should be settled with the "owner" before departure.
11.Swimming pool:- This is a danger zone for all young children and it is in the interests of all parents/ adults residing at the property to never leave children unattended around the pool area. Any safety devices in place are an aid to prevent the lose of life but there can be no substitute for adult supervision at all times.
At the end of the day, the life of a child cannot be replaced whether a swimming pool is considered to meet the current requirements or not but I as the owner have tried to make every effort to respect these new regulations and maximize the safeness of the pool area for your pleasure and security.
The swimming pool is now completely fenced of with a 1m20 high security fence to comply with the new regulations desired but as yet there is no official body to inspect this at this stage. The keys for the entry gate is on your house keys and you are strongly advised to keep this gate closed at all times and padlocked overnight and on days out to maximize the benefit of this and help avoid any unwanted incidents.
I as the owner of the property cannot accept any responsibility for parental action or lack of, in this respect during residency at the property - remember nothing can substitute vigilance and it is without doubt the responsibility of the adults concerned to maintain an active surveillance of the pool area at all times.

The booking form, signed by the head of the party, accepts these terms and booking conditions on behalf of himself and all members of his party residing at the property for the duration of his holiday.
