Booking Terms and Conditions The Property 1. The gîtes known as Kerbihan & Kermeur ("the Property") are offered for holiday rental, subject to confirmation by Mr & Mrs N. Dent ("the Owner") to the renter ("the Client" also referred to as “The Party Leader”). Reservations
2. To reserve either Property, the Party Leader should complete and sign the booking form and return it to the Owner while at
the same time making arrangements to credit the Owner’s bank account (details given on the booking form) with payment of the initial non-refundable deposit (25% of the total rental due). The Owners will accept booking forms sent via e-mail. Following receipt of the booking form and confirmation of payment, the Owner will send a booking confirmation and receipt. This is the formal acceptance of the booking. NB Clients are advised to confirm availability of the Property with the Owner prior to making a reservation. Payments Due 3. An initial non-refundable deposit payment of 25% of the total rental, is payable into the Owner’s bank account at the time of making the initial booking (details given on the booking form). 4. The balance of the rent, together with the £150 breakage/security deposit (see clause 6) is payable into the Owner’s bank account not less than 6 weeks before the start of the rental period. If payment is not received by the due date, the Owner reserves the right to give notice in writing that the reservation is cancelled. The Client will remain liable to pay the balance of the rent unless the Owner is able to re- let the Property. In this event, clause 7 of the booking conditions will apply. 5. Reservations made within six weeks of the start of the rental period require full payment into the Owner’s bank account at time of booking. Breakage/Security Deposit
6. A Breakage/Security deposit is applied at a rate of £150 per gîte. The Breakage/Security deposit is required in case
of, for example, damage to the property or its contents. However, the sum reserved by this clause shall not limit the Client's liability to the Owner. The Owner will account to the Client for the breakage/security deposit and refund the balance due, within one week after the end of the rental period, by means of payment into the Client’s bank account, details of which the Client will provide to the Owner. 7. In the event of a Client renting both properties, then the deposit of £300 will be treated as a single Breakage/Security Deposit. Cancellation
8. Subject to clauses 3 and 4 above, in the event of a cancellation, refunds of amounts paid, will be made if the Owner is able to
re-let the Property and any expenses or losses incurred in so doing will be deducted from the refundable amount. NB The Client is strongly recommended to arrange a comprehensive travel insurance policy (including cancellation cover) and to have full cover for the party's personal belongings, public liability etc. since these are not covered on the Owner’s insurance. Rental Period 9. Rental periods will normally consist of one or more whole weeks but during July and August the Owner reserves the right to fix minimum rental periods at two weeks.
10. The rental period shall commence at 4pm on the first Saturday and finish at 10am on the last Saturday of the rental period.
The Owner shall not be obliged to offer accommodation before the time stated and the Client shall not be entitled to remain in occupation after the time stated. NB The Client is requested to advise the Owner if arrival time is likely to be after 10pm. Residents
11. The maximum number to reside in the Property must not exceed 6 people + 1 baby for Kerbihan and 8 people + 1 baby for
Kermeur, unless the Owner has given prior permission. 12. Sorry, the Owners are unable to accept pets and would ask you to recognise that the gîtes are Non-Smoking. 13.

supplied with it and to leave the Property and said items in a clean and tidy condition at the end of the rental period.

The Owner reserves the right to make an additional retention from the breakage/security deposit to cover additional cleaning costs if the Client leaves the Property in an unacceptable condition. 15. The Client agrees not to act in any way, which would cause disturbance to those residents in neighbouring properties or other residents of Da Kanaouenn.
16. The Client shall report to the Owner without delay, any defects in the Property or breakdown in the equipment, plant, machinery

This should be requested at the time of making a reservation, by including it in the appropriate place on the booking form and added to the payment terms for the holiday. 18.
