Some notes about holiday bookings

We take bookings throughout the year for one and two week holidays as well as short weekend and mid-week city breaks of three or four nights.

Our usual changeover day for one or two week holidays is Friday. Short breaks usually start or end on a Friday.

We can be flexible, so please ask us if you have particular dates in mind.

Please note:

Baker's Cottage is non-smoking and we do not allow pets.

Holiday insurance

In common with most UK private holiday home owners we do not provide cancellation insurance and we recommend that guests arrange their own insurance if they do not already have cover in place.

Bearing in mind the recent disruption caused by snow we would suggest a policy that covers 'inability to reach the holiday destination due to adverse weather conditions' such as the one provided by J. L. Morris who provide cover to UK residents holidaying in the UK. If you already have holiday insurance please check your policy carefully as adverse weather condition cover for UK residents often only applies to overseas trips.

Trade associations

We are members of the English Association of Self Catering Operators, and as such share their objectives to "to encourage, promote and uphold high standards of self-catering accommodation within the industry throughout England."

You also have the reassurance of knowing that, in the highly unlikely event of a complaint that cannot be resolved with us, you can use the E.A.S.C.O. dispute resolution service, a low-cost independent arbitration scheme.
