GITE HIRE CONDITIONS
Lassenat St. Georges has four gites offered for holiday rental, subject to confirmation by the Property Owners.
BOOKING & SECURITY DEPOSITS
An initial non-refundable deposit equivalent to 25% of the Hire Charge should
accompany the Booking Form. The balance of the Hire Charge, plus a £150 security
deposit, is payable 8 weeks prior to the Holiday Commencement Date unless
the booking is made within 8 weeks of the Holiday Commencement Date when the
full amount of the Hire Charge is payable. The Booking Deposit is part of
the total Hire Charge. The Security Deposit will be retained against exceptional
cleaning, breakage, and blockage of the waste system. Assuming no penalties
have been incurred, the Security Deposit will be returned in full by post
one week after the Hirer’s departure. Payments should be by sterling cheque
made payable to Mr and Mrs R Hurle. If the balance of the Hire Charge is not paid (and
the cheque cleared) by 8 weeks prior to the Holiday Commencement Date the
Booking Deposit will be forfeited and the gite re-let.
CANCELLATION
Once a booking has been made and confirmed in writing by the Property Owners
the Hirer is liable for payment of the Hire Charge for the Hire Period.
The Hirer is advised to effect his own holiday insurance immediately the
Holiday Booking is made. If the Hirer is forced to cancel a holiday booking
after it has been confirmed by the Owners the Hirer must do so in writing
to the Owners. The cancellation will be confirmed by the Owners who will
try to off set the Hirer’s losses by re-letting the gite(s) if possible.
OCCUPATION
A maximum of 5 people can be accommodated in D’Artagnan or Aramis, maximum
3 people in Athos and 2 people in Porthos (when rented separately) or 5

to enjoy themselves. Pets are not accepted.
COMMENCEMENT AND EXPIRY OF HIRE PERIODS
