Cancellation Policy

Because we are a small establishment, cancellations can be very problematic for our scheduling and costs. This means we have to implement a rather strict cancellation policy. If you need to cancel and do so more than 30 days prior to your booking date, your deposit will be carried forward to your next stay only if you rebook within 60 days. Unfortunately, if you cancel a booking less than 30 days prior to your arrival date, we will not be able to refund your deposit, even if your booking was made within that 30 day period. Please note that during some special occasions, the cancellation policy will vary from usual.

Restrictions

Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate children or pets.
