Lorna Shelbourn acts only as an agent for the owners of the properties, the hiring contract is between the hirer and the owner.
The receipt of a signed booking form and initial payment by the agent is treated as a firm booking and, if accepted, the hirer becomes liable for the full balance of the charges which are payable six weeks prior to the commencement date of the holiday. It is also taken that the hirer has agreed to these Terms and Conditions.
Non-payment of the balance of the hire charges by the due date will result in the agent treating the property as being available for re-booking.
If the hirer cancels a confirmed booking he/she remains liable for payment of the full cost of the holiday. Upon receipt of written confirmation of the cancellation from the hirer, the agent will endeavour to re-let the property and if successful will make a full refund to the hirer less an administration fee of £65, and any other expenses incurred in re-letting.
The number of persons occupying a property must not exceed the maximum occupancy level stated on the booking form, without prior consent of the owner. Owners reserve the right to terminate occupancy of the property without notice or refund in the case of a breach in this condition.
The hirer is responsible for the condition of the property and its entire contents during the hire period, fair wear and tear excepted. The hirer will make good any damage or loss and leave the property and contents in a clean and tidy condition.

In such cases, hire charges shall be refunded in full and the liability of the owner shall cease.

Specific conditions and restrictions applying to certain properties (eg, pets, times of entry and departure) will be mentioned in the individual property descriptions and will be deemed to form part of these hiring terms and conditions.
