TERMS & CONDITIONS



Bookings

Salcombe Shepherd Huts handles bookings from persons over 18 years of age (and over 21 years of age for all-adult groups). We reserve the right, without giving reasons, to refuse a booking. When you submit your booking through the online reservation system you will receive an automated booking summary e-mail, to the e-mail address provided. Please check the e-mail for any errors. The automated e-mail does not form a contract between you and Salcombe Shepherd Huts.

Hen parties / stag parties and all-adult groups are only accepted if our Site Regulations (including noise policy) are agreed to or all of the accommodation is booked for the group. If you have any queries regarding group bookings please call Salcombe Shepherd Huts 01548843635 *'Group' booking means more than one accommodation unit for a family/friends group. **'All-adult' booking means more than one couple in an accommodation unit.


Security Deposit

A group booking security deposit of £50 per accommodation unit is added for every booking. The security deposit is payable with the balance payment. We aim to refund security deposits within ten working days of guests’ departure. It can take longer if deductions are involved for repairs or replacements. The security deposit is to cover any costs to Salcombe Shepherd Huts for damage or breakages and for extra cleaning (beyond the expected time for the booking made) required after a stay. Security deposit refunds are made by bank transfer, and guests are reminded that we will need their bank details in order to make the refund.


Damages / Breakages / Cleaning

For damages or breakages: Guests are advised to check the accommodation unit/s for any damages or breakages found at the beginning of their stay and to inform Salcombe Shepherd Huts of any that they find. Please let us know if anything gets broken so we can replace it for our next guest. We will only charge for replacements in exceptional circumstances, as we expect a degree of wear and tear. If damage is directly attributable to the guest, then we reserve the right to request payment of up to £100. Salcombe Shepherd Huts reserves the right to deduct this payment from your security deposit or invoice guests following their stay.

For extra cleaning: Guests are reminded that they must leave the property in the same condition as when they arrived, remove all food items and personal belongings and follow Salcombe Shepherd Huts ’ instructions about where to place rubbish etc. and return any moved inventory items to each accommodation unit or they may be liable for extra cleaning costs. If the accommodation unit is not left in an acceptable condition and Salcombe Shepherd Huts has to carry out extra cleaning above and beyond what they would normally expect this will be charged at £15 per individual staff hour. Salcombe Shepherd Huts reserves the right to deduct this payment from your security deposit or invoice guests following their stay.
