When booking your holiday at The Shippen, by signing the booking form, you agree to the following terms and conditions:

Payment
A deposit of 20% is payable when booking. We will send you a confirmation, by post or email, upon receipt of this deposit. The balance of the cost of the holiday is due 6 weeks before you arrive. A reminder will be sent.

Cancellation and Insurance
Once you have booked your holiday, our agreement with you is a legal contract. If you cannot go on holiday and the cottage cannot be re-let, you are liable to pay for the booking in full, even if you cancel before paying the balance. If we succeed in re-letting the cottage for that same period, we will deduct from you what you owe us (or refund to you) any such rentals received less your deposit, which is always non-refundable. For these reasons we strongly recommend that you take out cancellation insurance for your holiday.

Non-availability of cottage as booked
We would only cancel your holiday if the cottage was unavailable for reasons beyond our reasonable control. We would attempt to help you find alternative accommodation, however if this was either not possible or not acceptable to you then we would refund to you all monies paid for the holiday. Our liability to you would not extend beyond this refund.
