Air conditioning must only be used when you are in the property and switched off when you leave. The units, being fan assisted, will very quickly cool your property on your return.

Do’s and don’ts when staying in a holiday rental property

Once you’ve arrived, it’s time to relax and enjoy your stay but first, don’t forget these do’s and don’ts of staying in a holiday let. They’re vital to successfully renting a holiday property (and being allowed back again!). 

Do keep your time

Holiday let property owners set check-in and check-out times for a reason – they need time to clean and check the property thoroughly between stays. Make sure you know when you can arrive and by when you need to leave. The owner may well be able to bring forward the check-in time or move back the check-out time depending on other bookings, but don’t assume they will without asking and then receiving confirmation

Do remember it’s someone else’s house

Bottom line? If you wouldn’t do it in your house, don’t do it in your holiday rental property

Don’t disobey the booking terms and conditions

All holiday rental property owners have a few house rules such as no smoking on the premises . But whether there are lots of rules or hardly any, do follow them all. And ensure everyone in your party does too. They’re not designed to be restrictive, largely to look after the property and its contents as well as the safety of guests.

Amendments to terms and conditions

Terms and conditions may be subject to change at any time and without notice. Prior to your check-in, please consult this page for the most up-to-date amendments We reserve the right to modify, suspend or discontinue any of the terms of rental of the Site at any time, with or without notice.
