11. Lost property
Please ensure all personal possessions are packed when departing your accommodation.

12. Personal health and safety
We take the safety of our customers very seriously, unfortunately crimes against people and property are a fact of life throughout the world and you have the same responsibility for your personal safety as you do at home. We therefore advise all customers to be extra vigilant and ensure that great care is taken of your property and personal safety. You must ensure all the windows, shutters and doors are locked at night. In the event that you should lose any items of value whilst on holiday through theft or otherwise, you must report the facts immediately to the local police or other competent authority and obtain a written report. If a report is not obtained it will be difficult for you to pursue any claim through your holiday insurance.
13. Use of barbecue grills, fireplaces and candles
You must make sure that any candles, barbecue grills or fireplaces are used safely and any fire or embers are always entirely extinct before leaving or going to bed.
14. Your accommodation
This is reserved exclusively for the people named on your arrival details and no other persons are permitted to stay at the accommodation unless this has been agreed with us in writing and appropriate payments made (if applicable). On departure you should leave the accommodation in a reasonably clean and tidy condition so that we can efficiently prepare it for our next guests. If significant additional cleaning has been necessary, a charge will be made locally and an appropriate proportion (decided by us) of the security deposit withheld. Please note that single sex parties or groups of young adults (under 21) are not accepted in our property.
15. Holiday insurance
Adequate insurance is essential and we strongly advise you have this in place at time of booking.

Some facilities, activities and excursions could involve an element of risk. These activities, facilities and excursions are neither run nor controlled by us. If you wish to participate, purchase or make use of any optional activities, facilities or excursions that are not part of your pre booked accommodation, we regret that we cannot accept liability in relation to these. The contract for the provision of that activity, facility or excursion will be between you and that provider. Usually these locally paid for activities, facilities and excursions will be subject to local law and jurisdiction. The discretion to partake in any such activities, facilities, or excursions is entirely at your own risk. You are responsible for taking sensible precautions for your own safety and for the safety of any children or family members for whom you are responsible. Please liaise with the supplier of the facility, activity or excursion for the Terms and Conditions of your activity, facility or excursion which will govern your contract.
