If the property is found left unsecured (windows or doors open/unlocked) during your stay and/or at check-out, we retain the right to charge a penalty fee. A fee of £80 will also apply if the keys are misplaced during your stay or not returned to the lockbox at check-out.

If an interim housekeeping service is not arranged and extra cleaning is required at check-out to restore the property to its original condition, additional cleaning charges may apply.



To help us prepare the property for our next guests, we kindly ask that you leave the home in a similar general condition to how it was presented at check-in. This includes disposing of excessive rubbish and ensuring that dishes, cookware and kitchen utensils are rinsed, cleared away or loaded into the dishwasher before departure.
