In making this service available we are relying on you to respond by keeping your pet under strict control at all times.

Hirers will be liable for any damage caused by pets. Allergy sufferers should check prior to booking, as owners may have their own pets in the properties.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION & LOCATION

We have endeavoured to describe and detail each property, its facilities and surroundings as accurately as possible. All distances quoted are approximate.Within the limited space, we have provided as much information as possible but should you require additional information please do not hesitate to contact us. Unless otherwise stated, all holidays start and finish on a Saturday. Please note that holiday resorts can be noisy at times.

COUNTRY STONE COTTAGES

Many of our delightful properties are over 100 years old, and built before the days of damp-proof courses, insulation, easy stair gradients and will, on occasion, have reduced height doorways and beams etc. Although we inspect our properties very carefully, it is natural and understandable that these properties may occasionally be prone to humidity effect. Another contributing factor is the warm, moist Cornish and Welsh climate which can sometimes cause condensation. Ventilation, by leaving some windows open can help alleviate this problem.We would advise against bringing elderly or asthmatic people to these older “character” type properties especially out of season.Countryside activity and animals can be noisy and smelly at times. If you are used to town living - be warned!

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS/ ASSISTANCE DOGS

Powells Cottage Holidays are not a specialist provider of holidays for the disabled, but we are committed to making all properties as inclusive as possible for all of our guests.Please discuss any special requirements (such as access statements) with our sales team at the time of booking. This will ensure that we can provide the most suitable property and make your holiday as enjoyable as possible. Under the new disability discrimination Act (DDA) it requires property owners who operate a ‘no dogs’ policy to waive this policy where assistance dogs are concerned. Holiday property information
