Accuracy of Details: The website is as accurate as possible but cannot be warranted, nor do the descriptions form any contract.

Parties: The total number in your party shall not exceed the capacity of 4 persons per cottage with the exception of babies under 2. Should you arrive with a group which does not meet these criteria we reserve the right to refuse the use of the accommodation. We also reserve the right to refuse to hand over accommodation to any person(s) who, in our opinion, is not suitable to take charge of it. If, in our opinion, any person(s) is not suitable to continue the holiday because of unreasonable behaviour, or damage to property, the Contract may be terminated. In this event no refund will be due. The hirer is liable for any damage caused to the Barns. We have the right to enter any accommodation (without prior notice if this is not practicable or possible) if special circumstances or emergencies arise.

Occupancy: Occupancy shall be from 4 pm on the day of arrival to 10 am on the day of departure – unless special arrangements have been made. We need this time to ensure that the cottage is ready for your arrival after the previous guests. If you wish to have either an earlier check in or later departure please contact Katie at least 3 days before your arrival date and if possible we will try to accommodate your request.

You undertake to use the property solely for its purpose as self-catering accommodation and to accept the Owner’s right to refuse access to the accommodation to any person, whether the Responsible Person or guest of the Responsible Person, deemed unsuitable. Causing a nuisance or disturbance to neighbours or any unreasonable behaviour may result in the Owner requiring the Responsible Person or their guests to Wastor Farm.
