Further details

Booking Conditions for River Cottage

In these Booking Conditions “we”, “us”, “our” and “the Owner” means The Owners of River Cottage. References to “you” and “your” mean the person making the booking (the “party leader”) and all members of the holiday rental party who have been accepted by the Owner (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date). These Booking Conditions set out the basis of your contract with the Owner. Nothing in these Booking Conditions affects your normal statutory rights.

1. Your booking

All offers and bookings are subject to availability. The party leader must be at least 25 years of age at the time of booking. The party leader must be authorised to make the booking on the basis of these Booking Conditions by all other members of the holiday party. By making the booking, the party leader confirms that he/she is so authorised and that all other party members agree that the booking is subject to these Booking Conditions. The party leader is responsible for making all payments due to the Company. Your booking is made as a consumer and you agree that no liability can be accepted by the Owner for any expenses, costs, losses, claims or other sums of any description which relate to any business, howsoever suffered or incurred by you. When the Owner issues a written confirmation (see below) to you, this signifies that the Owner has entered into a contract with you, which is subject to these Conditions. The Owner has the right to refuse any booking prior to the issue of your written confirmation, and if the Owner does this, the Owner will tell you in writing and promptly refund any money you have paid. When you receive your confirmation, the details must be checked carefully. If anything is not correct, you should tell the Owner immediately.

Please note: We will provide you with your written confirmation either by post or by email. If you book by post or telephone we will send your confirmation to you by post unless you advise us at the time of booking you would prefer it to be provided by email. All references to “your written confirmation” therefore means confirmations provided by post or by email as applicable. It is your responsibility to check your emails regularly and to advise of any change to your email address.

2. Paying for River Cottage

When you book River Cottage you should pay the deposit due by sending a cheque or payment to the Owner. Providing the booking can be confirmed, the Owner will then send your written confirmation to you as soon as reasonably possible showing your booking details and the balance of your total holiday cost which must be received by the Owner no less than 8 weeks before your arrival date at the property. If you book less than 8 weeks before your arrival date, payment of your total holiday cost is due immediately. If any payment due in relation to your booking is not paid by the appropriate date, the Owner is entitled to assume that you wish to cancel your booking. In this case, the Owner will be entitled to keep all deposits paid or due at that date. The Owner normally sends out a reminder to you before your booking is cancelled. If the Owner does not cancel straight away because you have promised to make payment, you must pay the cancellation charges shown in Section 6 depending on the date the Owner reasonably treats your booking as cancelled.

3. Cancellations or changes to your booking by the Owner

The Owner does not expect to have to make any changes to your booking, but occasionally problems occur and bookings have to be changed or cancelled. If this does happen, the Owner will contact the party leader (by telephone where reasonably possible in the case of a significant change or cancellation, minor changes will be notified by post or by email) as soon as is reasonably practical, explaining what has happened, and inform you of the cancellation or change.

If a significant change has to be made (and the change is not acceptable to you) or your booking has to be cancelled, the Owner will, if possible and as soon as reasonably practical, offer the party leader an alternative date for the similar time of year. If you do not wish to accept a significant change, you will be entitled to cancel your booking and receive a full refund of all monies paid to the Owner. So as to keep any period of uncertainty to a minimum, the Owner will, whenever reasonably possible, communicate with you by telephone in the case of a significant change or cancellation and you are required to do the same. The party leader should tell the Owner as soon as reasonably possible whether you wish to accept any change or alternatively whether you want a refund. In the unlikely event that the party leader fails to tell the Owner that you wish to accept any change the Owner is entitled to assume you wish to cancel your booking and receive a full refund of all monies paid to the Owner.

Please note the above options are not available where any change made is a minor change.

4. Circumstances beyond the control of the Owner (Force Majeure)

Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Booking Conditions, the Owner shall not be liable, for any changes, cancellations, effect on your holiday, loss or damage suffered by you or for any failure by the Owner to perform or properly or promptly perform any of their respective obligations to you which is due to any event(s) or circumstance(s) beyond the reasonable control of either the Owner (referred to as “force majeure” in these Conditions). By way of example, force majeure includes fire, flood, exceptional weather conditions, epidemics, destruction or damage of the property by any cause (other than negligence of the Owner) and all similar situations. In appropriate cases (for example where your booking has to be cancelled before departure due to force majeure) the Owner will, however, refund to you all monies paid to them by you for your booking. No compensation, expenses, costs or other sums of any description (including without limitation the cost of securing an alternative property/accommodation) will be payable in such circumstances by either the Owner to you.

Came here with my family for my sister's birthday. I thought the place itself was fantastic. Everything you need, lovely scenery and so peaceful. To be honest I didn't want to leave.
