CANCELLATION

We hope you will understand that the summer rental season in Nova Scotia is very short, so when we agree to rent to you, we are depending on your business. If you cancel your reservation, we will do everything we can to re-rent the house, but we can’t count on it, especially as vacationers often make their plans well in advance.

If we are unable to re-rent the house at the same rate for the same period of time we will retain the full amount of rent received to cover our loss. Cancellations must be confirmed to us in writing, by email or conventional mail, and will be acknowledged in writing by us.

CANCELLATION BY US

In the very unlikely event that we have to cancel your stay with us (for example, severe illness or other emergency situation, damage to the house by fire, storm etc, or any other circumstances) we will of course refund your entire deposit. Our liability to you is limited to the amount you have paid us. We can’t be held liable for losses you may incur in respect of plane and/or other travel or alternative accommodation, although we will of course do our best to help you find alternative accommodation.

INSURANCE

We very strongly recommend that you take out adequate travel insurance to cover yourself against cancellation and other possible losses such as loss of valuables.

We cannot be held liable for loss however caused.

SMOKING AND FIRE RISK

The entire house is a strict non-smoking zone; this extends to electronic cigarettes. Guests who do not respect this rule will be asked to leave immediately with no refund given. Because of our situation surrounded by open fields and woodlands and the consequent increased risk of fire from cigarettes and matches, all grounds are also non smoking zones.

The use of a portable propane barbeque is permitted, but it must stay attended until completely extinguished.

Open fires outside are not allowed.

GENERAL

Wildflower Cottage is for booked guests only. Only persons whose names are specified on the booking form may stay in or use the accommodation. If you wish to entertain friends during your stay you must clear this with us first; overnight stays are not permitted.

Our parking area can accommodate a maximum of two guest cars.

The house and all appliances, heating, plumbing, and electrical systems will be in good working order and the cost of any repairs will be borne by the landlord unless due to the negligence of the renter.

We’ll do our best to ensure that all advertised services are available during your stay,but occasionally life has other ideas and things go awry, through nobody’s fault. we’ll move heaven and earth and do everything we can to rectify things.

We cannot be held responsible for any interruption or breakdown in services due to circumstances outside our control.

You must look after your accommodation during your stay. This means that you must keep all furniture, fittings and effects (inside and outside the property) in the same state of repair as at the start of your stay.

You must leave your accommodation in the same state of general order in which you found it on your arrival; that doesn’t mean you need to do a spring clean, but it does mean that it needs to be basically clean and tidy so that we can prepare it to the same high standard for the next guests within the limited time available.

We provide you with the tools and cleaning materials to make that possible.

Any breakage, spillage, staining or other damage must be notified to us straight away and not left until your departure day.

We don’t require you to pay a damage deposit, but if you break any of these conditions we reserve the right to make an additional cleaning charge and/or make a claim against you for repair or loss as a result of damage caused. Any claim we make will be backed up with photographic evidence and based on actual costs.
