Contract
Once a booking confirmation has been made and a deposit accepted there is a contract between the person signing the form or making the booking and Goodlake Barns. The contract is at all times subject to all the booking conditions.
Payment
Bookings may be made over the telephone or by post but must be accompanied by payment of the quoted deposit payable by Debit or Credit Card or by cheque. A booking where the deposit has been paid by cheque is not considered to be confirmed until the cheque has been cleared by our bank.
In the event that the start date of the holiday is within 4 weeks of booking, full payment must be made at the time of the booking. In all other cases final payment is due 4 weeks before commencement of the holiday. No accommodation can be made available unless full payment is received by the due date. In the event of non-payment, we reserve the right to cancel the holiday. Bookings are only accepted on the understanding that these Trading Terms have been read and understood.

If you have to cancel the booking for whatever reason, this must be made in writing and we will confirm this to you. We will use our reasonable endeavour to re-hire the property. If re-hiring is successful we shall refund all the monies paid. If we are only able to re-hire the property for part of the period, we will refund the amount paid less the payment for the period the property is re-hired. If we are unable to re-hire the property at all then all the monies paid shall be forfeit.
