“We allow a maximum of 2 dogs per Lodge.  Dogs must be house-trained, kept under proper control and not allowed on the furniture, and especially the beds, nor left unattended in the property. Dog hairs are to be removed from carpets/rugs and all dog waste collected and disposed of. Dog owners will be held responsible for any damage caused to the property, contents or garden by their dog and for any extra cleaning required (usually at least £50).  When out walking within the property grounds/estate, you must ensure that dogs are kept on a lead at all times, we have free-ranging chickens and wildlife.  Dogs must not be allowed to disturb livestock, deer or game birds and wildlife.

We operate strict “quiet hours” between 8pm and 8am.

This means, (but is not limited to) “inside voices” (both in & out of your Lodge), no music or radios to be played outside, no parties, noisy bar-b-ques or outside games that could become loud.  If you’re looking for a place to party with friends, this probably isn’t the place for you!

Please always let us know beforehand.

We can provide cots and highchairs, please let us know before your arrival, as these are not kept in the Lodges as standard.

Each Lakeside Lodge has a gate at the entrance of the outside decking areas allowing access for children and dogs onto the decking’s from the Lodges when the door(s) are open, and visa versa.

These gates have been designed to enclose most dogs and children, but are not fitted with child-proof safety latches and as such are not child-proof.  Headlands Farm accepts no responsibility for dogs or children leaving the Lodge and/or Lodge decking areas regardless of if the gates were open, or closed.

1. THE CONTRACT

The Contract for a short-term holiday rental will be between Headlands Farm Lodges Ltd (referred to as “us”, “we” or “our”) and the person making the booking and all members of the holiday party (referred to as “you” or “your”) in the following booking terms and conditions. As our properties are located in England, you and we agree that the laws of England will govern our contract with you (the “Contract”). If any individual term or clause stated in these terms and conditions held to be invalid, impermissible or unenforceable by law, the remaining terms shall be unaffected and shall remain valid.

The Contract will not come into force until we have received the Deposit referred to in Clause 2 below. The Contract will be subject to these booking terms and conditions, and must be complied with. The party leader must be at least 18 years of age at the time of booking and prior to arrival we must be provided with a full list containing the names and ages (age banding) of all guests (which we will hold subject to Clause 13 below).

2. DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT

Your booking (“Booking”) may be placed over the telephone, via email, via our online reservation system or via other such booking platforms such as Airbnb.  Where your Booking is communicated to us by telephone or by email, we will enter it onto our online reservation system, which will automatically generate a summary via email to the email address you provide in the online Booking form.  However, that does not mean that your Booking is yet confirmed or that a Contract is yet in force between us and you.

Your Booking will only be confirmed and our Contract will only come into force once we have received payment in cleared funds of a deposit of fifty per cent (50%) of the full cost of your Booking (the “Deposit”).

The Deposit must be paid within conjunction of the Booking being placed.

The balance of the rental will be due for payment thirty (30) days prior to your holiday commencement date (the “Holiday Commencement Date”).

If you paid the Deposit by credit or debit card, you authorise us to use the details of the same credit or debit card to settle the balance of the rental. We will only act on this authority if you have not contacted us prior to the Balance Due Date to arrange alternative payment of the balance.

If for any reason we are unable to take payment of the balance by the due date and you are unable to promptly rearrange payment (or we cannot get hold of you to arrange for payment to be made) we will be entitled to treat that as your intention to cancel the Booking.  If your Booking is made less than thirty (30) days prior to the Holiday Commencement Date then your Booking will only be confirmed and our Contract will only come into force once we have received payment in full for the Booking in cleared funds.

No entry to our properties will be allowed without payment, in full, being cleared beforehand.

We accept payment by most major credit or debit cards through our online payment system and via bank transfer, please note we do not accept American Express.

3. CANCELLATION

Cancellations must be notified to and received by us in writing (preferably by email) and once received we will confirm and process your cancellation request.

We offer Flexible Cancellation which removes the stress and worry from booking your holiday. You can cancel your Booking and obtain a full refund of the lodging costs you have paid for up to thirty (30) days before the Holiday Commencement Date.  We ask that you give us as much notice as possible about your cancellation.

If you cancel later than Thirty (30) days before the Holiday Commencement Date then we will refund your Booking deposit (50% of the full cost). If you cancel within fourteen (14) days you will not be given any return on the full cost of your accommodation.

For this reason, we strongly recommend you take out your own travel insurance for UK holidays which covers booking cancellations. This will give you the peace of mind that you will get your money back if you need to cancel your holiday at any stage. If you choose not to then you accept responsibility for any loss that you may incur due to your cancellation.

4. CANCELLATION BY US FOR REASONS BEYOND OUR CONTROL (“FORCE MAJEURE”)

We won’t be deemed to be in breach of this Contract, or otherwise liable to you, by reason of any delay in performance or non-performance of any of our obligations in this Contract to the extent that such delay or non-performance is caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control (for example if access to and use of our property is prevented by fire, flood, exceptional weather conditions, epidemics, pandemics, destruction/damage, internet or other communications failure, blocked roads, war/terrorism, nuclear/radioactive disaster affecting us or our property) (these are sometimes referred to as “Force Majeure Events”)

If for any reason beyond our control we are forced to cancel your Booking (or bring it to an end early) due to a Force Majeure Event affecting us or our property we will refund you the full amount of your remaining lodging costs based on the time of your Booking remaining. This will be the full extent of our liability and no additional compensation, expenses or costs (such as travel or replacement lodging costs) will be payable.
