Our restaurants and Guest House are small and intimate, and as such, our continued viability relies heavily on reservations being honoured by our customers or adequate notice being given of any changes to plans or arrangements. In the event of cancellations, we are proactive in advertising the availability, and advise that the more notice given will lead to a greater chance of re-selling the reservation.

Outlaw’s Coastal Retreats Terms and Conditions

1. Definitions

Our booking terms and conditions describe our policies and procedures (and clarify the contractual relationship between you and us, the owner of the property).

“We”, “Us”, or “Our” shall mean Nathan Outlaw Consultancy Ltd t/a Outlaw’s, a company registered in England and Wales whose registered office is at Lowin house, Tregolls Road, Truro, Cornwall, TR1 2NA, with company number 8635259.

“Guest” shall mean the customer who has made a booking via Our website (www.outlaws.co.uk), over the telephone or via email.

We are the legal owner of the properties being booked. The contractual relationship (“Contract”) is directly between Us and the Guest. The contract is not effective until the required payment has been received and confirmation sent from Us to the Guest.

2. The holiday

The Guest has the right to occupy a property for a holiday only (within the meaning of Schedule 1, para 9 of the Housing Act, 1988) for no more than 28 consecutive days at a single property. This begins at 4.00pm on the start day of the holiday and ends at 10.00am on the day of departure.

3. Photography, property description and marketing

Photography in marketing materials are sometimes taken using a wide-angled lens in order to show as much of the property as possible which can exaggerate the impression of a room’s size. Additionally, we may use 3D renders, illustrations, or digital mock-ups of properties to give an impression of the property for marketing purposes before the property has been fully refurbished. The Guest acknowledges this and agrees it will not make any claim against Us in respect of issues regarding actual room size or design/layout.

We have the right to use any Guest feedback provided via the feedback form, guest book or email for promotional and marketing purposes without prior permission from the Guest.

We do not accept liability for disappointment, cost of travel, inspection or other issues relating to marketing materials.

4. Guest and party details

To secure a booking with us, party details must be provided to include names and ages of all persons who will be occupying the property during the holiday period. Bookings will not be confirmed until this information has been provided. If the party details change prior to the holiday commencing, Guests will need to inform us.

Only persons listed within the party details are authorised to stay at the property. By agreeing to these terms, the person making the booking is deemed to have permission from all other guests to share their details with us for the purpose of making the booking. We confirm that We will use and hold such details in accordance with Our privacy policy (https://outlaws.co.uk//privacy-policy).

5. Booking eligibility

Bookings cannot be accepted from persons under the age of 18 years or from parties where the majority of members are under 25 years (except families or supervised groups). The number of persons occupying a property must not exceed the maximum stated in the current property description (infants who do not occupy a bed are not counted as a member of a party).

The person who makes the booking will be legally responsible for all persons included within the party details and should ensure that they are aware of the booking terms and conditions. We reserve the right to decline any booking or to refuse to hand over a key to any person who is not considered suitable, or who has not complied with the booking terms and conditions.

A non-refundable booking fee of £40 is applicable for all bookings to cover the administration and transaction fees relating to the booking. This booking fee is included within the advertised price of the properties.

6. Reservation

To secure the reservation, Guests must complete all parts of the online booking form or provide these details to us via email and make payment for the deposit; half of the total tariff. The balance is payable twelve weeks before the holiday is due and it should be noted that reminders are issued before the balance is due. If the balance is not received, We reserve the right to cancel the booking without refund of the deposit and the holiday will be offered for resale. Any bookings made within twelve weeks of the start of the holiday require full payment at the time of booking.

7. Damage deposits

The Guest will be required at the time of making the final payment to provide Us with a damage deposit. The amount is property specific and is detailed on the property’s booking page. This deposit covers damage, loss, or loss of rental as a result of the conduct of the Guest or members of the Guest’s party. The Guest is liable for the loss and damage caused to the property and contents to the full value of the Our loss even though the value of the loss:

a) may exceed the damage deposit.

b) may not be covered by the Our insurance cover.

It is also a requirement of the conditions of booking that the property is left in a clean and tidy condition at the end of the letting period. The damage deposit will normally be refunded to the Guest seven to ten working days after departure, provided that no damage has been caused to the property, its contents, fittings and fixtures. The damage deposit will be refunded back to the credit or debit card that was used to process the balance payment.

The damage deposit does not limit the Guest’s liability for damages. If the damage claim exceeds the damage deposit paid then the Guest is required to settle this within seven days of being notified of the total amount. If the Guest wishes to claim the amount from any personal insurance-based scheme, then We will provide all required documentation, but the Guest must personally settle the claim within the seven-day term.

8. Prices

Prices quoted include VAT where applicable. We reserve the right to charge the Guest any increase on either of these or any other levy imposed by the government that affects the price of the holiday provided the Guest is notified in writing of such increase.

9. Method of payment

Payments may be made by credit card or debit card.

We are responsible for financial website transactions. The Outlaw’s website is SSL secured, your card details are entered on a secure page and are transferred using secure SSL technology.

10. Overseas bookings

Overseas Guests may pay in Sterling drawn on a UK bank, Mastercard or Visa. Any charges for payments from overseas will be passed on to the Guest.

11. Travel insurance

We require that the Guest takes out suitable independent travel insurance when making a booking, to cover the full cost of the holiday in the event of a cancellation.

12. Transferring booking

Once a booking has been confirmed by Us, it cannot be transferred to another property, to Outlaw’s Guest House, or used as credit towards dining at Our restaurants, except by treating it as a cancellation and a new booking (see Cancellation Policy).

13. Changing dates

Changing dates of a booking within the same calendar year may occasionally be possible and is subject to Our agreement. Alterations to a booking by the Guest (except for cancellation) will be subject to an administration charge of £25.

14. Booking alterations by Us

If for reasons beyond Our control (for example failure of a utility service, fire or flood at the property) We have to cancel or alter arrangements made for the Guest we will make every effort to offer an alternative stay, if appropriate. If the Guest does not accept the alternative offered, We will return to the Guest any monies paid, whereupon Our liability will cease.

15. Cancellation Policy

We offer a 24-hour grace period starting from the time that the deposit payment is made as a cooling off period. If the Guest wishes to cancel their booking within this period, they will be fully refunded to include the deposit and balance (a booking fee of £40 is non-refundable).

A holiday booking is a legally binding contract. In the event of a cancellation for any reason other than the circumstances set out in section 14, the Guest will become liable for the holiday charges, and will only receive refunds in accordance with the below:

For cancellations made up to 12 weeks before the beginning of the holiday, We reserve the right to retain the deposit payment.*

For cancellations made within 12 weeks of the beginning of the holiday, We reserve the right to retain the full payment of the booking.*

*Unless We can secure another booking to replace the Guest’s booking. This is not guaranteed. If a replacement booking is secured, the Guest will be refunded the balance of any sums paid for their holiday (the booking fee of £40 is non-refundable). It is a condition that We are notified in writing immediately by email of the circumstances giving rise to a cancellation as a phone call alone will not suffice.

Refunds made by Us may take up to 10 working days.

16. Cleaning, bed linen and towels

Bed linen and towels are included in the hire price of the property. Guests are asked to bring beach towels as these are not included.

Charges for cleaning or replacement of missing, soiled or damaged linen and towels will be deducted from the Guest’s damage deposit. Guests are asked to take particular care when it comes to using products that may stain.

17. Occupancy

Occupancy shall be from 4.00pm on the day of arrival to 10.00am on the day of departure, unless special arrangements have been made prior to arrival (the housekeepers have only a limited time to prepare the property for the next guests, and you are asked to respect this).

If the Guest enters the property before 4.00pm, this should be done on the understanding that a pre-arrival check will not be carried out by Us. This may mean that standards cannot be guaranteed, any existing damage may not have been noted, and any issues with the house may need to be inspected and rectified by engineers during your stay.

Should there be anything the Guest feels that We should be made aware of to ensure the comfort and safety of the Guest, please inform Us.

If the Guest vacates the property later than the check-out time of 10am, We have the right to deduct a charge from the Guest’s damage deposit to cover the cleaner’s additional time (waiting to enter the property). This will be based on the cleaner’s hourly rate.

Guests are asked to familiarise themselves with this information on arrival and to follow any instructions given.
