period. Unless agreed in writing, you must vacate the premises
by 10AM (10:00hrs) on the last day of your booking, in order to
allow for cleaning in preparation for the next guest. Failure
to vacate the premises could render you liable to extra costs
should the house not be made available. Such costs as to administration
and claims by other parties may be incurred and passed on to the
hirer. It is therefore vital to check with us, and obtain confirmation,
that a late checkout can be accommodated by us.
