Booking Terms and Conditions for Cottage Gîte accommodation

1) The property known as Les Deux Chênes Cottage (the Property), is offered for holiday rental subject to the confirmation by Vivienne Forrester and David Owen, (the Owners), to the renter, (the Client).

Cheques should be made out to V. Forrester or D. Owen.  Following receipt of the signed and dated Terms and Conditions and deposit, the Owners will send a confirmation invoice and statement.
