When an agreement between us is made – When making a booking with us, we will e-mail you an acknowledgement of the booking request, including details of the total cost and payment requirements. The booking is secured and an agreement entered into; and it is deemed that you accept these Booking Terms and Conditions, only when a deposit of 25% of the total cost is received (or the full balance, if the booking is made within 6 weeks of your arrival). We will send you a booking confirmation email showing that your deposit has been received. If a deposit is not received within 7 days of the acknowledgement e-mail the booking will be forfeited.
Bookings cannot be accepted from persons under 18 years of age.

If you do not make any payment due in relation to your booking by the appropriate date, we are entitled to assume that you want to cancel your booking. In this case, your booking may be treated as cancelled immediately.

Complaints – In the event of a complaint or problem, it is essential that you contact us immediately if any problem arises and in all instances before the end of your stay, so that it can be dealt with as soon as possible. It is often very difficult and sometimes impossible to sort out problems properly unless we are told promptly. If you discuss the problem during your stay at the property, it can usually be sorted out straight away. No refunds or compensation can be made if problems or complaints are only notified after the end of your stay.
Cancellation by you – If you cancel your booking, you should immediately confirm your cancellation by email to enquiries@maycottagenorfolk.co.uk. The day you email your cancellation is accepted as the date of cancellation, provided we acknowledge receipt of your cancellation. If you do not receive an email acknowledgement, you must assume we have not received your notice. If you cancel, we will make a cancellation charge, as shown below.
Cancellation charges:
If you cancel:
More than 42 days (6 weeks) prior to your arrival date = a refund on monies paid, minus your full deposit.
42 days or less prior to your arrival date = no refund on any monies paid.
We are unable to offer refunds, however we will endeavour to accommodate a change of date where possible if you find you are unable to take the holiday you have booked, therefore HOLIDAY INSURANCE IS RECOMMENDED to cover such eventualities.
Cancellation by Paul Taylor & Lucy Taylor-Bindloss – In the unlikely event that it becomes necessary for us to cancel your booking we will offer a full refund or change of dates if this is preferable.
Cancellation due to Covid-19 Government imposed lockdown – if your holiday is cancelled specifically due to the reintroduction of further lockdown measures, either at a local or national level, we will refund fully any monies paid or move your holiday to a future date if you prefer, providing documentary evidence is provided to support any claim. Should lockdown measures occur during your stay, you must return home immediately and a pro-rate refund will be made.

We may wish to send you information about May Cottage, including special offers for future holidays. We will do this by email. If you would rather that we did not do this, please tell us when you book. Our privacy statement can be found on our website.
