Broomhill Manor
The booking contract is between Broomhill Manor (referred to as “us” or “we”) and the person making the booking on behalf of their party (referred to as “Lead Booker”, “you” or “your”). The Contract is subject to UK law. The Contract will not take effect until the deposit is received. The Lead Booker must be at least 18 years of age and must supply the names, addresses and ages of the party.
Bookings and Payment
Bookings will be confirmed upon receipt of the deposit of 35% of the full cost of the holiday. The balance will be due six weeks prior to the commencement of the holiday. We reserve the right to cancel a holiday where payment has not been received by the due date. If the booking is made within 6 weeks of the start date, the full cost of the holiday will be required at the time of booking. Once you have a confirmed booking (the deposit has been paid) you are liable for the full rental cost even if you subsequently cancel. Payment can be made by MasterCard, Visa or Bank Transfer.
Cancellation
- Cancellation by you
1.1 Cancellations must be immediately notified to us and confirmed in writing (email).
Cancellation of the booking will be treated differently based on the reason for the cancellation, the length of time between cancellation and your holiday, and our ability to re-let the property, as follows:
1.1a National or Regional Lockdown – In the event of a national or regional lockdown, where we are prevented from opening, you will receive a full refund.
1.1b Your inability (or the inability of any, some, or all, of your party) to stay at your hired Cottage for any other reason. This includes – but is not limited to – illness (including Covid), a requirement or recommendation to self-isolate or quarantine, a call to jury duty, incarceration, change in personal or work circumstances, family emergencies, travel delays, vehicle breakdown, and delays with public transport. These remain at your risk and do not give rise to a right to cancel or receive a refund, other than according to 1.2 or 1.3 below. You are strongly recommended to take out UK travel insurance to cover these eventualities. If you choose not to take out UK travel insurance, then you accept responsibility for any loss that you may incur due to your cancellation.
1.2 If there are fewer than 60 days before the start of your stay, with the exception of 1.1a above, any refund we give you will be subject to our ability to find an alternative booking. If we are unable to find an alternative guest for the period of your booking, we will not offer you a refund. If we are able to find an alternative guest for the period of your booking, you will be entitled to a refund equal to the lesser of:
(a) the full cost of your booking, less an administrative charge of up to £75 to cover the cost of cancellation and remarketing the cottage (these costs include our admin costs, remarketing costs, bank fees, accounting fees and agency fees or commission payments.) ; or
(b) the fee paid by the alternative guest for the accommodation, less our administrative charges described above, and
any refund under this clause will be made within 14 days of the booking start date.
1.3 If there are more than 60 days before the start of your stay, we will offer you a full refund on cancellation, subject to an admin charge of up to £75 and any costs making specific arrangements requested by you in respect of your booking (for example, where you have requested certain activities, additional facilities, etc.). Any such refund will be made within 14 days of written confirmation of your cancellation.
- Cancellation by us
In the event that we are unable to provide the accommodation as stated due to circumstances beyond our control (eg fire, flood, exceptional weather conditions, damage/destruction), Broomhill Manor may, at its sole discretion, offer you:
a) a full refund; or
b) alternative holiday dates; or
c) such other remedy as Broomhill Manor considers appropriate with regard to the circumstances.
Liability is restricted to the return of all monies paid. If we have to terminate your holiday early you will be refunded part of the booking fee based on the time remaining of the booking. No additional compensation, expenses or costs will be payable.
We strongly recommend that you take out suitable insurance which will cover you for possible cancellation of your UK holiday. There are several suitable options which include cover for COVID-related cancellation on comparison sites such as www.gocompare.com, where you can check which policy will be best for your particular requirements. We are not selling, promoting, endorsing or recommending any particular product, and do not benefit financially or have any formal relationship with any of the providers.

Damage and Care of the Property
You are responsible for the property during the Holiday Period and are expected to take reasonable care. The cottage is thoroughly cleaned prior to the hirer’s arrival and the booker undertakes to leave the cottage, furniture and equipment clean and tidy at the end of the hire period. We reserve the right to demand the immediate withdrawal of any persons behaving in a manner detrimental to the property or comfort of other guests. All damage and breakages are the legal responsibility of the booker and should be made known to the owners. If you lose a key we will replace it upon your paying for the cutting of a new one.
Pets
In view of the proximity of horses and farm animals, we only allow a small number of well-behaved dogs by prior arrangement in certain cottages. We do not charge for dogs, but we do reserve the right to charge for any additional cleaning services or damage they may cause. Dogs must be kept on leads when walking within the grounds and must not be left unattended in your cottage.
