Buckley Cottage Renting Details

Rates guidelines

Prices are for renting the cottage. Not per person!

Please contact us about stays which cross seasons. Call William or Vicky on 01672 520807 or email william@charlwood.net or vicky@charlwood.net.

Terms

Payment and confirmation

For stays of a week of more, booked more than 8 weeks in advance, we ask for a deposit of 50% of the full rental to confirm the booking. The balance is then due by 6 weeks before the first night booked, without further request.

For shorter stays or those booked less than 8 weeks in advance of the dates booked, we ask for full payment at the time of booking.

Receipts are issued by post for deposits and full payments.  We will hold bookings for 7 days - if payment is not received within that period we reserve the right to cancel the booking. 

Cancellation

If you need to cancel your booking more than 8 weeks before the start of your stay, we will make best endeavours to re-let. If we are successful in this, we will return all monies paid except a £50 handling fee. If we aren’t able to re-let, the monies paid are forfeited.

Please note that, like most holiday lettings, we suggest that you cover the booking with insurance. This avoids any awkwardness in the event that, for whatever reason, you have to cancel at short notice.

Arrival and departure

For stays in high season, you must not arrive at the cottage before 3pm and must vacate by 10 am on the day you leave. For stays out of high season, we can often be more flexible about arrival and leaving times but please let us know what times you are hoping to arrive / depart.

On receipt of your full payment, we will send you our joining instructions, with directions to the cottage etc.

Tenants are asked to leave the cottage reasonably clean and organised when they leave.

Bed linen and towels

Please note that we do not provide bed linen and towels – you will need to bring with you: duvet covers; pillowcases; lower sheets and towels (including a hand towel for the loo).

There is a company in Salcombe that hires out bed linen and cots etc. The details are available in our online information pack.

Fixtures and fittings

We endeavour to make sure that all fixtures and fittings are in serviceable order. If anything needs attention, please let us know as soon as possible and we’ll get it addressed as best we can, either directly or through our local caretaker.

We do ask tenants to let us know as soon as possible if they break anything during their stay so we can do our best to get a replacement organised for the next occupiers.

Dogs

Mature dogs which are well-behaved and used to travelling with their owners are welcome at the cottage. Unlike many holiday cottage rentals, we do not make any additional charge for them joining you during your stay. We do ask you not to leave then unattended in the house or to shut them out of the house at any time.

Noise and nuisance

The creek at Batson acts as something of an amphitheatre – particularly when the tide is in! Please be considerate in the amount of noise you make outside, to preserve the Batson tranquillity for everyone staying around the creek. We hope they are as considerate for you …
