The Agreement
The short-term holiday rental agreement is between the Guest and the Owner (Mr N M Cameron). The contract is deemed to have been made once the Guest has paid a deposit and the Owner has dispatched a confirmation of booking. (It is therefore important that you review them before booking and arriving at the property). The guest must be over 25 years of age at the time of booking. Please note that we reserve the right to amend the Terms and Conditions at any time..
Booking
The Guest who makes the booking is deemed to have agreed to these Terms and Conditions and will be responsible for all persons included in the booking. The Owner reserves the right to decline any booking or refuse to hand over a key to any person who has not complied with these Terms & Conditions.
Number of People using Holiday Accommodation
The owners permit the Guest and members of the guest's party (but no one else) to occupy the property for holiday purposes only. The Guest must declare the correct number of additional guests during booking and must inform the owner before the rental commences of any change. No more than six people (including infants) may occupy the property unless by prior written agreement with the Owner. Extra charges may be applicable if the number of guests differs from the number on the booking.
Sorry Dogs are not allowed at Ómarach.
Arrival/Departure
Ómarach is available for occupation from 5.00 pm on the first day of the holiday and must be vacated by 10.00 am on the last day.
Payment
For bookings made more than 6 weeks before arrival, a deposit (part payment) of 50%
of the total cost of the holiday, is required. The balance is due 6 weeks before the holiday
commences. For bookings made less than 6 weeks before arrival, the total amount is
payable in full on booking.
The Guest agrees to pay the balance of the payment SIX (6) weeks before the holiday is due to start. Email reminders are sent, but delivery cannot be guaranteed. Where a guest fails to pay their balance by the due date the booking may be cancelled, and the deposit retained.
Cancellation or Changes by the Guest
Once the holiday is booked the Guest has entered into a legally binding contract. If the
Guest cancels, for whatever reason (including medical and weather related) then no
refund of the deposit will be due, and within 6 weeks of the holiday no refund of the full
balance is due. A holiday cancellation protection plan should be taken out to cover forced
cancellations.
Cancellations must be notified in writing (including by email) to the Owner immediately. The Owner will endeavour to re-let the property and if successful may at their discretion allow the guest to transfer to alternate dates for a £20 administration fee plus any other expenses incurred in re-letting. The expenses incurred in re-letting will be at the discretion of the Owner
Once a booking has been accepted by the Owner, Holiday dates may be changed providing the property is available for the new dates and the owner is agreeable to the change. A £20 re-booking charge will be payable.
We recommend and expect that the guest will have or will take out a holiday insurance policy (which includes cancellation insurance covering sickness and unavoidable reasons for cancellation) prior to their stay.
Cancellation by Owners
The owner reserves the right to refuse any booking and to cancel any bookings already
made if the property is unavailable (e.g. through fire, flood, etc) for any reason
whatsoever, subject to a full refund of all monies paid (but no further liability). The owner
will not be under any other liability if such cancellation occurs. Note: in the unlikely
event of a cancellation the owner will make every possible effort to secure alternative
accommodation if required..

and breakages although it should be noted that minor breakages and reasonable wear
