Bookings made within the 8 weeks prior to arrival will be asked to pay the full rental at the time of booking. Guests should always take out travel insurance to cover the possibility of having to cancel the booking. A Booking Notice/ Vat Invoice will be sent to you as soon as possible once a booking has been made and this will include our bank and PayPal details.
