Long Barn Terms and Conditions

The Long Barn can be booked for week stays Friday to Friday or Monday to Monday. Short breaks are available from Friday to Monday and Monday to Friday. Christmas and New Year periods are only available for full weeks, arrival dates will depend how the holidays fall.Bookings are only provisional until confirmed by us by email and will only be confirmed once we have received a 20% non-refundable deposit of the full accommodation charge. Payment can be made by BACS, cheque or credit/debit card.The remainder of the balance is due 8 weeks before your arrival; we will contact you to advise when your balance is due. If you book within 8 weeks of your stay we require the full rental amount. Should we not receive the balance we reserve the right to cancel your booking.

Arrival time is from 4pm onwards and departure by 9.30am. This gives us the time we need to clean and prepare for the next guests.

Booking

The contract entered into is between Town End Farm and the person making the actual booking (who must be over 18 years old) and the other members of your party as notified by you. The contract is for short term holiday let only.
The contract is only effective once the completed signed booking form is received with the required payment and we have sent you written confirmation via email.

Cancellation

We strongly advise that you take out appropriate cancellation and travel insurance for your holiday.
If you are forced to cancel the booking due to unforeseen circumstances, you must contact us immediately by email or phone.

The deposit is non-refundable.
If your cancellation is made less than 8 weeks from the day of departure, you will be charged for the full amount.
We will do our best to re-sell the dates. If this is possible, then we will refund any money due minus administration costs.
We may not be able to sell the dates at the full rate which you initially paid; in this case, we will refund you part of what we receive from the new booking.

We offer a no quibble cancellation guarantee of an additional 5% of the price of the full accommodation charge; this must be paid for when initially booking the Long Barn. This allows you to cancel for any reason up until arrival.
