Making a Booking:

To make a booking, please complete the booking request form on our website or contact us, using the contact us form.

Changing Dates and Cancellations:

Once your booking has been confirmed by us, we may accept amendments received from you within 48 hours of the initial booking, pending availability. We reserve the right to refuse accommodation if payment is not made in full. If any portion of the booked period is cancelled after arrival, we are not able to refund any monies.

Security Deposit:

All bookings are subject to a security deposit of €300. This must be paid in cash on arrival. The deposit is returned on departure after the house is checked. Please allow 15 to 20 minutes for us to check the house.

 Cleanliness:

Our self-catering accommodation provides you with facilities for cooking, an initial supply of soap, toilet paper, washing detergent, some cleaning products and a vacuum cleaner. If there are any issues with the cleanliness of our home when you arrive, please let us know.

We ask that you keep the house clean and tidy during your stay.  Please leave the property and contents in the same condition as you found them.  It is important that you clean all kitchen cooking ware and eating utensils thoroughly before you leave. If excessive cleaning is required, a cleaning charge of €40 per hour will be levied and deducted from the security deposit. We reserve the right to check the house regularly to ensure there are no difficulties or problems with the house and/or contents.

Issues During Your Stay:

From time to time, items may break down or get damaged through normal wear and tear, without warning. We will try to repair or replace these items as soon as possible during your stay.  However we cannot guarantee the issue will be rectified during your stay as this may be reliant on outside factors, e.g. trades people.   We apologise for this inconvenience, but we are not able to prevent breakdowns from happening, or know if / when they will occur.

We accept no responsibility for loss, theft, injury or damage to any member of your party or their property, howsoever caused, arising in any manner from the letting of this house and attached properties, use of access paths to the sea, and entire farmlands, farm animals, and farm tractors and machinery.
