Terms & Conditions for long term stays at Le Petit Verger

We ask that you sign a copy of our terms and conditions before arrival at Le Petit Verger, this does not represent a contract but merely that you have agreed to abide by the said terms and conditions.

(1) Long term holiday rental subject to confirmation by Mr & Mrs A.I.Scott (the owners) to the renter (the client) and is limited to 90 days maximum. Should you wish to stay for longer than 90 days, a new agreement for a period not exceeding 90 days can be arranged after the initial 90 day period has elapsed.

(2) To reserve the property the client should complete the online booking form. We shall e-mail you directly we receive the form. This will provisionally reserve the dates that you require at Le Petit Verger. We ask that you send the non-refundable deposit of 2 weeks rental to the address given on our prices page within 10 days. Upon receipt of the deposit the booking is deemed to be confirmed. Payment may be made by any of the methods found on our prices page.

(3) The balance of the rent is payable weekly. If payment is not received by the due date the owners reserve the right to give notice in writing that the rental is cancelled..

(4) We do not charge any security deposit, preferring instead that if there are any breakages etc, that these are reported to us. We do not usually charge for items such as glasses as we realise that accidents can happen.

(5) Subject to clause 2 and 3 above in the event of non-insurable cancellations refunds of amounts paid may be made if the owners are able to re-let the property. Any expenses or losses incurred in so doing will be deducted from the refundable amount. The client is strongly recommended to arrange a comprehensive travel insurance policy (including cancellation cover) and to have full cover for the party's personal belongings, public liability etc since these are not covered by the owners insurance.

(6) The rental period shall commence at 4.00 pm on the first day and finish at 10.00 am on the last day. The owners shall not be obliged to offer the accommodation before the time stated and the client shall not be entitled to remain in occupation after the time stated. We can be flexible if your requirements are varied.

(7) The maximum number of people to reside in the property must not exceed the advertised capacity unless the owners have given written permission.

(8) The client agrees to be a considerate tenant and to take good care of the property and to leave it in a clean and tidy condition at the end of the rental period. Although a final clean is included in the price the owners reserve the right to make a retention from the security deposit to cover additional cleaning costs if the client leaves the property in an unacceptable condition. The client also agrees not to act in any way that would cause disturbance to the residents in other properties and to those residents in neighbouring properties.

(9) The client shall report to the owners without delay any defects in the property, breakdown of equipment, plant machinery or appliances in the property or garden and arrangements for repair and/or replacement will be made as soon as possible.
