A week commences on Saturday (between 15:30 and 19:00) and finishes on a Saturday (not later than 10:00). The exceptions are the two weeks over the Christmas holidays, which are arranged to ensure that Christmas and New Year fall in the middle of these letting weeks. Adherence to the arrival and departure times is important to ensure thorough cleaning can be effected between guests leaving and arriving.

The booking will be confirmed on receipt of a 30% deposit. If the payment is received later than seven days after the booking, confirmation will only be made if the dates remain available, otherwise the payment will be returned. A further payment of the remaining 70% of the cost of the holiday plus a €500 returnable deposit (against breakages losses etc.) must be received 8 weeks prior to commencement of the holiday.

All bookings made less than 8 weeks before the start of the holiday will be considered firm bookings and must be fully paid within 72 hours of the booking having been made.
