   N.B.    CANCELLATION INSURANCE

We would like to remind you that once we have accepted your booking it becomes a legally binding contract and should you cancel your holiday you will lose your deposit and will be liable for the whole outstanding balance should we not be able to re-let the accommodation on your behalf.

We are no longer able to offer you cancellation insurance ourselves due to recent changes in legislation. However we would strongly recommend you have insurance in place to cover any unforseen eventuality.

If you would like to take up the option of cancellation insurance via the company we have always dealt with their web site is www.world-first.co.uk
