FAQ's
Can I book a short break (less than a week)?
Yes, a 3 night minimum stay short break can be booked
during low and mid-season at many of our holiday
properties. During high season we ask you to book for a
week or more!
What is the standard arrival/key collection time?
All of our properties offer an arrival time of 4 pm
onwards. This allows enough time for the property to be
cleaned thoroughly. Occasionally we can offer earlier
check in times but this needs to be agreed beforehand.
What is the standard departure time?
We ask our guests to vacate their holiday home by 10am
at the latest please. This ensures our cleaning team have
enough time to get the property ready for the next
guests due in at 4pm.
How do I check to see if my holiday dates are available?
Simply click on the property you are interested in
viewing and search through the availability calendar
which is located at the bottom of the page.
Can I book & pay for a holiday home directly online?
Unfortunately not through the Rest Assured site. We
ask you to pay via online banking after chatting with us
about your requirements. However most of our
properties are advertised on the Owners Direct site
where you can book and pay online.
How much deposit do I need to pay to secure my holiday
and when will the final balance be due?
When you book your holiday, you will be required to pay a
15% deposit within 5 days to secure the booking. This
deposit automatically converts to a security/damage
deposit upon arrival. The deposit is not applied toward
rent; however it is fully refundable within 5 days of
departure providing the terms and conditions have been
met. The full balance is due 60 days prior to your holiday
start date.
How can I pay for my South Hams holiday?
You can pay your deposit or balance via BACS (online
banking) or by cheque or via Paypal. We may on-charge
any bank fees incurred for non UK sterling bank
transfers or for any bank fees incurred during non-UK
bank transfers.
What if I need to cancel my holiday?
We are aware that sometimes your circumstances may
change and you may need to amend your holiday dates or
requirements. We will always try to help you amend your
booking if we can, subject to approval by the holiday
homeowner.
However, if you need to cancel a holiday completely
please refer to our Booking Conditions and notify us by
telephone or email immediately.
Can I start my Rest Assured holiday booking on any day
of the week?
As a rule the standard holiday cottage arrival date
(known as the Changeover day), is on a Friday or
Saturday. However, at most of our holiday properties,
during low and mid-season booking periods, you can start
your holiday on any day of the week, provided it fits in
with other bookings.
Is bed linen included within the price of my Rest
Assured booking?
Linen is provided in all of our properties and is included
in the price. Please note that cot linen is not provided -
even when the homeowner provides a cot/travel cot at
the property. Please therefore remember to provide
your own cot linen if required.
Are towels included within the price of my holiday?
Most of our holiday properties provide towels. We do
however have a couple that provide hand towels only.
This information will be in the property booking terms
and conditions or simply call us and we'll happily advise
you. Please note that beach towels/swimming pool towels
are not provided at any of our holiday properties.
Is heating/electricity included within the price of my
Rest Assured booking?
All of our properties have heating/electricity included
within the total price. If a property has a working open
fire/wood burner you will be required to provide your
own fuel/logs although most owners do provide a 'starter
pack.'
Does the property have access to Wi-Fi?
All of our properties provide Wi-Fi and this is usually
free to use. However please be advised that connection
speeds may be a lot slower than you may be used to!
Does the property have mobile signal?
A lot of our properties are along Devon country lanes
where mobile signal can vary. Some villages do not
receive signal at all whilst in others it can vary from day
to day!
Does the property provide a cot and/or highchair?
Many of our properties provide a travel cot/standard cot
and highchair for our customers to use but a few DO
NOT. Please call us on 01752 830409 and we will be
happy to advise you on which properties provide these
facilities. Please note that cot linen is never provided so
please remember to provide your own cot linen if
required.
Can I bring my pets?
Most of our properties allow you to bring your pet. Each
property description will indicate if it accepts pets.
Owners do charge £25 per dog per week.
If a property doesn't take pets it can be for several
reasons. Firstly, the owner may worry about damage to
carpets and furnishings, secondly they may not like pets
themselves and thirdly they may have an allergy. In
addition, some of our customers request pet-free
properties - so we do not allow customers to bring pets
to these properties. However, we have a great selection
of pet-friendly properties so please call us for more
details.
Do I have to clean my Rest Assured Cottage before I
depart?
Please do leave your holiday cottage clean and tidy at the
end of your stay, which includes all equipment and
utensils used. Please also put out any rubbish into the
appropriate bins/bags. South Hams do NOT remove glass
so you do need to visit a bottle bank before you leave
otherwise you will be charged. We also ask that you
please strip your beds if you have time. This makes life
so much easier for our wonderful cleaning staff.
We endeavour to ensure that any holiday home booked through us will be of the highest quality. We love to chat with our renters before you book so we can answer any queries you may have so please don't hesitate to get in touch!
