How much is the damages deposit and when do I need to pay it?

Our standard damages deposit is £250 per cottage, and is required in case of any losses, damages or exceptional cleaning needed after you leave. It is also an incentive to leave the holiday cottage in the way it was found. In certain circumstances, we may adjust the amount of the security deposit. For example:
- If there is a group booking of 3 or more cottages
- If you're staying for 28 days
- If you are bringing a puppy or a large dog.
We will let you know if this is the case at the time of booking, so you won't get any surprises!
If you're coming for a short stay of 2-4 nights, then the damages deposit can be taken as a pre-authorisation on a credit card when you arrive. A pre-authorisation isn't actually a charge, but it enables us to make a charge to your card if needs be.
For stays of 5 or more days, we will need to take a payment of the damages deposit on a credit or debit card when you arrive.
