A Booking is confirmed on receipt of the non-refundable deposit for all Bookings with check in dates of more than 6 weeks away. For all Bookings that have a check in date of less than 6 weeks before check in, payment for the Booking will be required in full and the entire Booking will be non-refundable. (Please see point 4. Cancellation).

Phone or email enquiries will be dealt with in the order they are received, but please be aware that we will only reserve your selected dates for 5 days without receipt of the suitable payment. If payment is not made within 5 days your reservation will be cancelled (unless we have agreed with you beforehand to reserve it for longer - please contact us if you need this).

Where a deposit has been paid, full balance payment must be paid 6 weeks in advance of your check in date. Non payment of the balance on or before the due date shall be construed as a cancellation by the Hirer.  

2. Hirer's Obligation

  • To permit us reasonable access to the property to carry out any urgent maintenance.

COVID

Now we are all allowed to travel again we hope you will be keen for a holiday at Wild Meadow!
Please feel free to book your break with the confidence that if government restrictions are in place at the time of your break, you will have the opportunity for changing your dates or a full refund. We do not offer refunds in the event that you are unable to come due to personal circumstances such as a broken leg or contracting Covid etc. Please take out insurance. There are many policies that cover Covid now - we have just taken out insurance for our UK holiday in 2022, it took 5 mins and it was just £12!
In order to keep guests safe, we have added to our normal cleaning regime an enhanced Covid protocol in line with Government guidelines.
