|  | - If you would like to reserve one of our holiday cottages, booking is easy and direct. We do, however, ask you to read our "Terms and Conditions" thoroughly (see below) before making your booking.
- To make a provisional reservation, please check the availability of your chosen cottage on our Availability Chart. Please note that between April and September, our cottages can only be booked from Saturday to Saturday. At other times, they can be booked for short breaks of 3, 4 or 5 days by arrangement.
- If your preferred dates appear to be available, please contact us to make a provisional reservation. You can contact us by e-mail using our Availability Enquiry Form below, or by telephoning the UK: 01263 511451 (please ask for Mike Colman) or France: (00 33) (0) 2 33 30 04 89. We endeavour to deal with your enquiries as promptly as possible.
- Having accepted your provisional reservation, we will send you a Booking Form, either by e-mail or by post.
- You confirm your booking by returning the signed Booking Form to us, together with your deposit (a non-returnable cheque for 25% of the holiday cost). Provisional reservations are held for up to 7 days to give you time to return your cheque and signed Booking Form.
- Once your Booking Form and cheque for the deposit have arrived, we acknowledge receipt immediately by letter (the "Confirmation Letter" referred to in our booking conditions). We also give you our personal booking reference which will entitle you to discounted channel crossings from the "Chez Nous Travel Service".
- The remaining 75% balance of your rent should reach us no later than 8 weeks before the start date of your holiday. This payment will be acknowledged immediately. At the same time, we will send you the "Final Details" for your holiday with us.
- If the start date of your holiday is less than 8 weeks away, please note that you must pay the full amount of the rental at the time of booking.
- At any stage, you are most welcome to contact us by phone, letter or e-mail for further information or advice.

| | | | | | | | Please note that these Terms and Conditions should be read before signing and returning the Booking Form.
| |
| - The property known as LA FERMETTE, LE FOURNIL or LA FRESNAIE, ("the Property") is offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation by Group Captain and Mrs N A Colman ("the Owner") to the renter ("the Client").
- To reserve the Property, the Client should telephone or e-mail to check availability and to make a provisional reservation. The Owner will provide a Booking Form for the Client to complete and return and will hold the provisional reservation for 7 days to allow time for the Booking Form to be returned.
- To confirm the booking, the Client will return the completed Booking Form and a cheque for the initial rental deposit (25% of the total rent due, which is non-refundable). A booking made within 8 weeks of the start of the rental period requires full payment of the rental due, at the time of booking.
- Following receipt of the completed Booking Form and rental payment, the Owner will send a Confirmation Letter, which is the formal acceptance of the booking.
- The balance of the rent is payable not less than 8 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. However, in the event of a cancellation by the Client, he/she will remain liable to pay the balance of the rent unless the Owner is able to re-let the property. Subject to Clauses 2, 3 and 4, 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 (e.g. late advertising) will be deducted from the refundable amount.
- Any chargeable expenses arising during the rental period (e.g. logs) should be settled locally with the Owner before departure.
- SECURITY DEPOSIT - Please note that in accordance with these Booking Conditions, a Security Deposit of 120 Euros or £100 Sterling is required in cash on arrival in case of, for example, damage to the property or its contents, or for additional cleaning charges (see Clause 11). 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 Security Deposit and will refund the deposit, less any deductions, at the end of the holiday period.
- The Client is strongly recommended to arrange a comprehensive Holiday Travel Insurance Policy (including cancellation cover).
- The Rental Period shall commence at 4.00pm on the first day and finish at 10.00am on the last day. The Owner shall not be obliged to offer the accommodation before the time stated, and the Client shall not be entitled to remain in the accommodation after the time stated.
- The maximum number to reside in the property must not exceed SIX (plus a baby sleeping in a cot) for either LA FERMETTE or LA FRESNAIE, and FOUR (plus a baby sleeping in a cot) for LE FOURNIL.
- The Client agrees to be a considerate tenant, to take good care of the property, and leave it in a clean and tidy condition at the end of the Rental Period. The Owner reserves the right to make a retention from the security deposit to cover additional cleaning costs if the Client leaves the property in an unacceptable condition, and/or in respect of any breakages or damages by the Client. The Client also agrees not to act in any way which would cause disturbance to residents in the neighbouring properties.
- The Client shall report to the Owner without delay any defects in the Property or breakdown in the equipment, plant, machinery or appliances in the Property or garden. Arrangements for repair and/or replacement will be made as soon as possible.
- The Owner shall not be liable to the Client:
For any temporary defect or stoppage in the supply of public services to the Property nor in respect of any equipment, plant, machinery or appliance in the Property or garden
For any loss, damage or injury, which is the result of adverse weather conditions, riot, war, strikes or other matters beyond the control of the Owner.
For any loss, damage or inconvenience caused to or suffered by the Client if the Property shall be destroyed or substantially damaged before the start of the rental period, and in any such event the Owner shall, within 7 days of notification to the Client, refund to the Client all sums previously paid in respect of the rental period. - Under no circumstances shall the Owner's liability to the Client exceed the amount paid to the Owner for the rental period.
This contract shall be governed by English law in every particular including formation and interpretation, and shall be deemed to have been made in England. Any proceedings arising out of, or in connection with, this contract may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in England.
