1. Nature of the Agreement
1.1 Lakelovers are an agent for the Owner and the contract for the rental of the Holiday Property is made between you and the Owner (not Lakelovers). As Lakelovers act as an agent for the Owner we accept no liability for the acts or failure to act of the Owner. In particular, we cannot accept liability for any act or neglect by the Owner or for any faults or problems with the Holiday Property. Our responsibility to you is limited to making and processing the Holiday Let in accordance with your instructions.
1.2 The Holiday Let is granted by the Owner to you for the purpose of a holiday. You agree that your Booking is for the sole purpose of holiday accommodation and accept that you are not offered any rights other than the right to occupy the Holiday Property as holiday accommodation for the Holiday Period. The Holiday Let (including without limitation any long let) is not an ‘Assured Shorthold Tenancy’ or protected under the Protection from Eviction Act 1977.
1.3 If we are found to be at fault for any service we have provided (as opposed to any service provided by the Owner) we will not pay more than the commission we have earnt in relation to the Booking concerned together with your reasonable expenses.
1.4 We do not limit or exclude any liability for death or injury caused by our negligence or for any criminal act.
2. Making your Booking
2.1 All bookings depend on the Holiday Property being available. You, as the party leader, must be at least 18 years old at the time of booking. You confirm that you are authorised to book the Holiday Let and that all other members of your party agree that the Holiday Let will be governed by these Terms and Conditions. You, as the party leader, are responsible for making all payments due to us.
2.2 As long as the Holiday Property is available and we have received all the relevant payments from you, we will send you the Booking Form (see below) as soon as reasonably possible. The Booking Form will show, among other things, details of the Holiday Let, the amount you have paid and the amount you still owe. Your binding contract with the Owner will only begin when we issue you with the Booking Form on behalf of the Owner and no contract exists until that time.
2.3 If we accept a payment or send you an email or other communication it does not mean we have accepted a booking unless we have issued you with the Booking Form. Please do not make any travel arrangements until we have issued you with a Booking Form. We will send you your Booking Form either by post or by email. If you book with us online, we will send your Booking Form by email. If you book by post or phone, we will send your Booking Form to you by post unless you tell us at the time of booking that you would prefer it to be provided by email. It is your responsibility to check your emails regularly and to let us know about any change to your email or postal address.
2.4 When you receive your Booking Form, please check the details carefully. If anything is not correct, please tell us immediately. If you book through a travel agent, we may send your Booking Form and all other documents to your travel agent.
2.5 Where we offer the option of a provisional telephone booking, the Holiday Property will be released for general sale after the agreed time period unless you fully confirm the Booking. As mentioned, no Holiday Let exists until we have sent you a Booking Form
2.6 Lakelovers, on behalf of the Owner, has the right to cancel or to refuse a Holiday Let at any time where we reasonably believe that (a) you are likely to breach these Terms and Conditions; (b) any details supplied by you in relation to your Booking are incorrect; or (c) you have behaved in an abusive, threatening or unlawful manner to an Owner or to our staff. If we cancel your Booking, we will tell you in writing and neither we nor the Owner will have any liability to you.
3. Suitability for your needs
3.1 The details in Lakelovers’ website are intended to present a general description of holiday properties and not all details can be included. There may be small differences between a Holiday Property and its description.
3.2 We cannot be responsible for any inaccurate information relating to a Holiday Property unless this was caused by Lakelovers’ negligence.
3.3 You should take reasonable steps to ensure that the Holiday Property is suitable for your needs before you book. This may include issues such as property type, location, access, facilities, layout, stairs, grounds/garden and so on. Lakelovers will answer any queries about properties in order that you can make an informed decision about a property’s suitability prior to making a booking.
3.4 All properties are pinpointed on a map on the Lakelovers’ website. Google street view is usually available for you to see the general setting of the location. If you are still not sure if a location is suitable for your requirements, you must enquire with Lakelovers to satisfy yourself the property is in a suitable location/setting for you.
3.5 If you or any member of your party has any disability that may affect your stay at a Holiday Property please let us have details before you book. If the Owner reasonably feels unable to meet that person’s needs they may decline or cancel a Holiday Let.
3.6 We cannot be liable for any changes to local services or attractions.

6. Your Obligations
You and your Party must:
6.1 allow the Owner and/or Lakelovers access to the Holiday Property with or without you or your Party being present if certain circumstances or emergencies happen, for example: to enable maintenance or repair work to be carried out, to enable the Owner and/or Lakelovers to comply with all relevant statutory requirements and the requirements of regulatory bodies, to inspect the Holiday Property (including where a complaint has been made) and to allow visits (following advance notification to You) by inspectors representing Visit England. The Owner and/or Lakelovers may also enter the Holiday Property if you break these Terms and Conditions;

6.3 not cause any damage to any part of the Holiday Property, its fixtures, fittings, contents, décor, equipment or grounds. Failure to uphold these obligations may lead to a claim against you for costs;
6.4 leave the Holiday Property in the same condition as you found it on arrival;
6.5 behave in a way that does not break the law while at the Holiday Property;
6.6 not sublet the Holiday Property or allow any person to stay in who is a not a named member of your party;

6.8 not do anything that may reasonably be considered to cause a nuisance or annoyance to anyone or act in an anti-social manner;
6.9 not smoke in any part of the Holiday Property. If it is reasonably believed that smoking has occurred during your stay you may be required to vacate the Holiday Property and forfeit the remainder of your booking. If we or the Owner reasonably believe that smoking has occurred a charge may be made to rectify this up to and including liability for the cost of cancelling all or part of any subsequent booking if the Holiday Property has been rendered uninhabitable;
6.10 not do or permit any act reasonably likely to make any insurance policy on the Holiday Property void or voidable or increase the premium and including over occupation of the Holiday Property, i.e. no more than the advertised number of occupants designated for the Holiday Property may occupy the Holiday Property to include infants/babies. You must not permit temporary visitors to the Holiday Property to stay overnight nor block any fire escape routes or access to opening windows. Should you breach this term you may be required to vacate the Holiday Property with the Holiday Let being treated as if it had been cancelled by you. In such a situation you will forfeit the value of any unexpired portion of your stay and no consideration will be made towards any associated costs you may incur as a consequence of you being required to vacate the Holiday Property;
6.11 not arrange for or allow visitors to the Holiday Property without the prior agreement of the Owner or allow anyone who is not a member of your Party to stay at the Holiday Property;
6.12 not bring any pet to a Holiday Property which is advertised as not allowing pets, otherwise an additional cleaning charge may be made to you for any additional work required to render the Holiday Property habitable for any subsequent guests who may suffer from an allergy. In addition an Owner may refuse to allow pets (other than genuine assistance animals) access to a Holiday Property where they are not allowed. We cannot guarantee that any Holiday Property will not have had an animal in it;
6.13 vacate the Holiday Property by 10 am on the departure date. Failure to do so may result in you being charged a further day’s proportionate Holiday Cost at the prevailing tariff into which your occupation extends.
7. Unreasonable Behaviour
Owners can refuse to allow access to Holiday Properties if the unreasonable behaviour of anyone in your party is likely to cause offence to other guests, to members of staff or to neighbours, or if the Owner reasonably believes that you or any member of your party will cause damage to the Holiday Property. If this happens, the contract between you and the Owner will end and you will not receive any refund and neither we nor the Owner will have any further liability to you.
8. Payment and Pricing
8.1 You must pay one-third of the Holiday Cost, of the cost of any selected extras (payable for each week or part week booked) and the booking fee (in full) by debit or credit card, when placing your booking with Lakelovers. The balance of the Holiday Cost and of the cost of any extras is due eight weeks before the Commencement Date.
8.2 Where you have chosen to buy extras through our website (such as leisure passes or logs) your agreement is with the provider and not with Lakelovers and Lakelovers is not responsible for any item bought in this way.
8.3 Where a booking is made less than eight weeks before the Commencement Date you must pay in full when booking the Holiday Let.
8.4 No additional charge will be made for payments made by debit card, credit card or cheque.
8.5 If you do not make any payment due by the specified date we, on behalf of the Owner, are entitled to assume that you want to cancel your booking and your booking will be cancelled immediately. In this case you may have to make additional payments.
8.6 Lakelovers acts as an agent and other than the booking fee (which we may charge ourselves for the services we provide in administering your booking) and the charge for the Good Housekeeping Waiver all charges (including cancellation charges) and refunds are made for and on behalf of the Owner.
8.7 The prices of unbooked properties may be changed at any time. The price of the Holiday Let will be confirmed in the Booking Form. Please check the price and all other details after you receive the Booking Form and let us know as soon as possible if you have any questions.
8.8 Prices are for the Holiday Property as a whole and are not linked to the size of your party. No compensation is payable if any member of your party does not occupy the Holiday Property.
9. The Holiday Period
9.1 The Holiday Period will commence at 5:00 pm on the Commencement Date and you must have vacated the Holiday Property with your Party and all your property by 9:00 am on the departure date. Failure to do so may result in you being charged a further day’s proportionate Holiday Cost as per condition 6.13.
9.2 Bookings lasting longer than 28 days are treated as ‘long lets’. All terms included for standard shorter duration bookings apply to long lets. In addition, the following conditions also apply:
9.3 The Holiday Property is let to you for the purposes of an extended holiday only and no rights of tenancy are implied through a stay lasting longer than 28 days. Occupancy of the Holiday Property is restricted to one party only and Lakelovers may ask for details of the members of the party to ensure the Owner’s insurance is not invalidated through over occupancy or any other reason pertaining to an unsuitable party composition (e.g. bringing a dog to a Holiday Property which is advertised as not accepting dogs).
9.4 Fair usage of utilities is a condition of long lets. The owner reserves the right to terminate any long let where the Owner believes that an excessive use of utilities (electricity, gas, water, broadband services) has occurred. Any damage to the Holiday Property or its contents must be reported as soon as possible during the stay, not after departure, to allow for investigation. Failure to report damage to the Holiday Property during your stay may result in the damage being harder and more costly to rectify. See clauses 6.2, 6.7, 10.1 and 10.2.
9.5 Cleaning and linen changes for long lets are subject to agreement on an individual basis. There may be extra charges for cleaning and linen/ towels depending on the frequency required for these services. We will agree these charges with you before confirming the booking.
10. The Good Housekeeping Deposit/Good Housekeeping Waiver
10.1 Upon checkout you must select either the Good Housekeeping Deposit or the Good Housekeeping Waiver. The Good Housekeeping Deposit (the cost of which is stated on the Booking Form) will be held by Lakelovers on behalf of the Owner to be applied against the reasonable costs of miscellaneous repairs and/or replacement and additional cleaning of the Holiday Property, including to furnishings, kitchen equipment, crockery, glass, bedding and towels damaged or soiled otherwise than by usual wear and tear during the Holiday Period by you or other members of your Party. The balance of the Good Housekeeping Deposit (if any) will be returned to you within 14 days of the Departure Date where Lakelovers (on behalf of the Owner) or the Owner agrees that you have no liability to such costs. Where such costs exceed the Good Housekeeping Deposit, you must pay the excess to Lakelovers within 14 days of being notified of the amount.
10.2 Where you have agreed on the Booking Form to pay the Good Housekeeping Waiver the Good Housekeeping Deposit is not payable. The Good Housekeeping Waiver fee is calculated on a per property basis and is set out on your Booking Form. It is not refundable. The Good Housekeeping Waiver covers accidental damage or repair to/ extra cleaning costs of the Holiday Let and its contents up to the value of £200. This is the total sum covered by the Good Housekeeping Waiver. You will be liable for the balance of any costs incurred where the value of these costs exceeds £200. Please note: criminal or wilful damage will not be covered by the Good Housekeeping Waiver.
11. Keys and Parking Permits

12.3 Wi-Fi is usually provided free of charge but there are exceptions and, if so, this will be made clear in the Holiday Property’s particulars.

Wi-Fi service is provided with the expectation that speeds/ data allowance may be limited and no compensation will be given as a consequence of slow speeds / overconsumption of data usage. If there is a data allowance limit advertised and you use up the advertised data usage allowance during your stay, the Owner reserves the right to either: i) charge you a supplement for a data allowance top up, or ii) decline to top up the data allowance.
