2. We have the right to reject your provisional booking.  The contract becomes binding when we send you confirmation of your booking.

Care of September Cottage

4. It should be noted that whilst we are happy for you to use the telephone at September Cottage to make outgoing calls, the cost of any such calls will be deduced from the security deposit
5. We will return the security deposit or the balance of the security deposit to you one week, or thereabouts, after the end of your holiday.

Our Liability
