Bookings and Payment
Once you have chosen your cottage and checked availability bookings can be made online, by telephone or email. Kribben Cottages accepts most Credit and Debit card payments through our online booking system. Our booking system assures you of security and confidentiality. A deposit of 25% is required to confirm the booking with the balance due 28 days before arrival. Should a booking be made less than 28 days from arrival date then full payment is required. The lead person must be at least 21 years of age at time of booking.
Good House Keeping
There will also be a mandatory £120 good house keeping deposit which will be payable when the balance is due. The deposit will be returned within 7 days providing the cottage is left in a satisfactory and clean condition. A percentage of this deposit may be kept if extra cleaning is required.
Cancellation Policy
Please contact us immediately should you be compelled to cancel your reservation and confirm this in writing. Only upon receipt of your written instructions will the cancellation take effect. In all cases of cancellation the booking deposit will be forfeited. Should cancellation occur less than 28 days prior to the date on which the holiday begins, Kribben Cottages will seek to re-let for all or part of the booking period and if successful, monies may be refunded, less the deposit. Kribben Cottages does not operate any scheme of cancellation or travel insurance and recommend you obtain your own insurance cover for the holiday.
Cancellation by Kribben Cottages
We would only cancel your holiday if your accommodation was unavailable for reasons beyond our control. We would however attempt to offer you alternative accommodation. If this was not possible, or unacceptable to you, then we would refund all monies paid by you for the holiday. Our liability would not extend beyond this refund.

The cottages are available from 4pm on arrival day and should be vacated no later than 10.30am on the final day of your stay. These times may be flexible subject to prior arrangement. Please advise us of your approximate arrival time prior to your stay.
Occupancy
The maximum occupancy for each cottage is stated on our website and must not be exceeded without prior permission from Kribben Cottages.
Respect of Fellow Occupants
