We look forward to welcoming you to Wringford Cottages. Please read our terms and conditions of hire. Your agreement of the following terms and conditions is required before we can confirm your booking.

Please phone or e-mail if you have any questions.

​

The contract for hire of your holiday rental cottage is between Wringford Cottages Ltd (us or we) and the person making the booking ie the Hirer (you or your). You must be over the age of 18 and authorised to accept these terms and conditions by all persons named on your booking form. Bookings are non transferable - if you are not one of the guests, all guest names must be stated on the booking form. We cater primarily for family and couple holidays therefore parties are not generally permitted.

The contract of hire is not effective until we dispatch to you written confirmation of your booking.

When booking via e-mail you will receive an initial summary of your booking, this does not form a contract between us. Once payment is cleared, you will receive email receipt of your payment and confirmation of your booking. Provisional bookings are held for 7 days.

3.  It is your responsibility to ensure you have received a written booking confirmation. Please contact us if you think something is wrong.
