First time renting a holiday cottage? Here's some hints to make
your stay more enjoyable and hassle free!
Before you leave home:
 Take out cancellation
insurance!
Your online booking is provisional until you receive a
confirmation from the owner of the holiday cottage, whereupon a contract
immediately exists between you and him or her. Your dates have been reserved
for you and if you have to cancel, for whatever reason, you may be liable for
the full rental if the holiday cottage cannot be re-let. So for peace of mind,
take out holiday cancellation insurance. You can get it at Schofields from just
£12.00: http://travel.schofields.ltd.uk/
Find out about the area you're visiting
Do some research on what there is to do and see in the
area you'll be visiting. Chances are you won't have access to the Internet when
you're there, so before you leave, find out what there is to see and do. The
owner will of course be able to help but he or she may not live close by.
Be truthful on the booking form!
If you're taking your pet, make sure you advise the owner and confirm
that's acceptable. Find out whether or not there will be an additional charge.
And if you declare Fido to be a small dog, don't arrive with a Great Dane!
Don't arrive with more people in the party than you booked
for.
Turning up at the cottage with five people when you originally
booked for four, can cause serious problems, not least of which is proper
accommodation. But there can also be other consequences which can jeopardise
the owner's legal rights and status. If you suddenly decide to bring wee
Jimmy's school pal, make sure you advise the owner and confirm it's in order
before you leave.
While you're
at the cottage:
Treat
the cottage like your own home
Because for the period
you've booked - it is! and...
Before
you leave the cottage:
Clean it thoroughly - leave it as you found it.
Report any damages or breakage to the owner and arrange to compansate him or
her - even if you were not asked for a security deposit when you
arrived. |
