Cancellation policy/Terms & Conditions

Policies are individual to the apartment provider. Here is a preview of the terms and advice for the apartments in this group. Many people ask for early arrival. If your arrival time means that the apartment cannot be let for the previous night, then you will need to pay for the previous night. Closer to the arrival date (eg a few days before), it may be clearer whether the apartment is booked the previous night and whether there is flexibility. However, in many places, you can leave bags early in the day while the apartment is prepared for your later arrival.

Our Terms and Conditions of Business set out in full our policy on cancellations and alterations to bookings. This is a summary sheet only.

Unless you comply with the terms of our Cancellation and Early Departure Policy as stated in our Terms and Conditions of Business, we reserve the right to charge you for early cancellation in line with the number of days, weeks or months notice that were not given to us.

Extension to Accommodation Period Booked

If you believe that you are likely to need to extend your accommodation period beyond the period originally booked and paid for, then you should notify us of this requirement as soon as possible.
