8.1      If the Guest has any complaint concerning the services provided by Us or the accommodation then the Guest shall inform Us as soon as reasonably possible and before the end of the holiday.

9          CANCELLATION

9.1              We would like to remind Our Guests that a booking for accommodation is a legally binding contract. Once the booking is confirmed You are responsible for the total cost of the holiday. We do not expect you are able to afford to pay for a holiday You are unable to take, neither can We afford the loss that Your failure to take up a booking may cause Us.  If You were forced to cancel Your holiday We would make every effort to re-let Your room/s but should We not succeed We reserve the right to levy a cancellation charge to cover our loss which would be equal to the total cost of nights not re-booked less any payment or deposit already made. In any event You would lose your deposit. We therefore strongly advise Our Guests, especially those who book for long stays or those who book a long time before the commencement of the holiday,  or who book multiple rooms, to consider holiday cancellation insurance.
