SECURITY BOND

A security bond is taken on the understanding that you and all members of your booking party will take care of and cause no damage to the property during your stay. Any refusal to pay a security bond will mean the booking cannot be made or will be cancelled, at your own loss.

A Security Bond of £1000 is pre-authorised on all collective bookings and is pre-authorised against a registered credit or debit card 7 days prior to your arrival date (through the Yapstone HolidayRent payment portal). This amount is held for 7 days. If the property sustains damage, loss of contents or any additional costs incurred during your stay (including extra cleaning), we will contact you with a report, including a quotation for repair. The deduction(s) will then automatically be made from your security bond. If the property is left as you found it; with no damages, extra cleaning or breakages the £1000 security bond will be 'released' back to the card you registered with us. Please note that if a security bond payment is charged due to damages; this will show on your bank statement as the amount deducted. For example, if we charge £50 you will see a deduction of £50. The remainder of the security bond was never 'taken' as a payment so you will not see any refunds of for example in this instance a refund of £950.

Previous Damages: If for whatever reason there has been damage caused to the property by previous guests please let us know by email, immediately upon your arrival.​

Should the bill for repair/losses/damages amount to more than the security bond that is lodged, we will contact you with an invoice for immediate payment.​

We are a 'green' property and recycle after every guest's stay. You are required to separate your recycling and leave it in the correct bins. Failure to do this will result in money being deducted from your security bond.​

Our property is non-smoking. External ashtrays are provided outside and we ask that you do not throw your cigarette buts into the outside areas. Anyone found to have been smoking within the property will receive an automatic fine of £200.00. If you are smoking outside please ensure the external doors are closed to prevent any smoke from entering the property.​

If you move furniture in Howgills House, we expect everything to be placed back to its original position upon your departure. If there is any damage to furniture your bond will be charged accordingly. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation.


GUESTS:

Guests shall not permit the property to be occupied by more guests than stated on the booking and invoice. It is essential that you confirm the exact number of guests that will be staying on the property and no additional guests are allowed at the venue without our prior permission. If additional guests are found staying on the property you all may be asked to leave or you will be charged for the additional amount of guests.

If we find out that additional guests have been staying after you have checked out, you will be informed and your security bond will be charged and retained by us to cover the additional cleaning costs.

For fire safety reasons, the people who stay in the accommodation must not be of a different identity to those named as part of the booking.

We reserve the right to refuse admission to the property should this occur. If you would like to increase the number of guests staying at the property, please let us know in writing at least 7 days prior to your arrival and we will confirm if this is possible and the possible costs involved.

We regret that we cannot accept responsibility for any lost property left behind after your stay. Whilst we will make every effort to return lost property, this will only be done on receipt of full payment of the registered post plus a £5 handling and packing charge. Items not claimed after 28 days will be disposed of. All perishable foods will automatically be disposed of at the time of the changeover.

We cannot accept responsibility for any injury or death to the hirer or any of their party, or other third parties, or for loss or damage to their belongings, vehicles or their contents, or any other personal possessions or monies.
