Self-Catering Holiday Let Booking Terms and Conditions
About this document
A holiday let booking is a contract with your guest. Clear terms set out when payments are due, what happens if a guest cancels, and what you expect during their stay. They must be fair and transparent: consumer law makes unfair terms – such as excessive cancellation charges or wide exclusions of liability – unenforceable.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
