You may wonder why we have this policy and it is not similar to that of a hotel? Cottage bookings are very different. By holding the cottage for you for months or even weeks in advance, we have turned down many opportunities for bookings. Unlike a hotel, cottages are booked in advance for the most part and when you cancel it is often very difficult for us to rebook the cottage.
To protect you against unforeseen circumstances we highly recommend vacation rental cancellation insurance. No one plans for unforeseen circumstances so this is the best way to ensure peace of mind when the unexpected happens.
