To make a booking, please complete the booking request form. A 30% booking deposit (non-refundable) is required to secure the booking. Confirmation of the booking will be made within 3 days of receipt of the booking deposit. Full payment of the balance must be paid 5 weeks before your stay.
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. Changes cannot be made at the commencement of your stay. 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.
Where a cancellation is made 3 months or more prior to the commencement date of the booking, we will refund your deposit (less any fees incurred by ourselves). Where a cancellation is made less than 3 months, but more than 6 weeks, prior to the commencement date of the booking, we will endeavour to secure a booking for the cancelled dates. If we are able to arrange another booking for the same period and for the same rental price, a refund will be provided (less any fees incurred by ourselves).

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. We ask that you keep the house clean and tidy during your stay. We also ask that you leave the property and its 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 20 euro 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. We reserve the right to terminate your booking for serious breaches of our house rules and anti-social behaviour.

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.
