Booking conditions and prices

Bridge house is our holiday home and we visit frequently. It is therefore set-up as a home, but wardrobes and cupboards will be empty to accommodate your own personal effects. We hope that this makes it both warm and functional.

It’s well-equipped, in a great location and spacious: it’s good for a couple, family or a group of friends. Access by wheelchair is possible at the front door but not to the first floor, served by an ancient oak staircase.

Entry instructions will be made available after payment; a handbook explaining how everything works will be there for you on arrival.

We are happy for guests to bring a well-behaved family dog with them, but please advise us in advance of any canine friends coming too. However, we cannot permit them on the first floor where the bedrooms are, as we feel it important to keep this a dog-free zone and hair-free for following guests. There is a child gate at the top of the stairs that can be used to easily prevent dog access. 

Below we outline the policy around stays and payments. It is rather formal, but we feel it’s important to be clear and that nothing is hidden. We have tried to keep our pricing simple. In general, we rent out only over the warmer months from April to end of September, but if you wish to stay outside these periods please contact us to discuss.

Booking
Please use the contact form to enter your preferred dates. We will get back to you immediately to confirm or to let you know what is available. Dates are secured when your deposit has been received.

Checking in and out
Check-in is normally from 4pm and check-out by 10am. However, we may be able to offer some flexibility if there are no adjacent bookings or in relation to storing baggage.

Length of stay
In the high season, July and August, the minimum stay is seven nights, Saturday to Saturday. Outside this period, the minimum stay is three nights. For longer stays, we can discuss rates and deposits on application.

Daily rates
For a stay of seven nights, or more, rate no 1 applies. For stays under seven nights, rate no 2 applies. Daily rate no 1 is £135 ; Daily rate no 2 is £155. Rates may change according to currency fluctuations, but rates at the time of booking will be maintained.

Cleaning
There is a full clean before and after all visits. The cleaning charge per stay is £120. If your stay is for two weeks or more we will provide a change of bedding and towels without additional charge.

Deposit
On confirmation of your booking, a deposit of £200 per week booked (via bank transfer) is required; a receipt will be issued. The deposit is returned when the property is cleaned, following your visit – normally within a few days. We do not expect to retain any of your deposit unless keys are not returned, any significant breakages or damages occur or cleaning exceeds the usual allocated time.

Payment
Full payment is required, at the latest, six weeks before your stay. If you book less than six weeks before your arrival date, then payment in full will be required at the point of booking along with your deposit. For short stays (less than a week) full payment is due on booking.

Cancellations
If you cancel eight weeks or more prior to your booking, your deposit will be returned, less a £100 admin charge. With less than eight weeks’ notice, the full deposit is retained. This policy applies whatever the reason for cancellation.
