Welcome to Suffolk

Suffolk’s special coast and countryside... SO MANY WAYS TO STAY IN TOUCH Our website is easy to use and full of information on things to do and see while you’re in Suffolk. Log on to www.suffolksecrets.co.uk to view all properties inside and out, take a ‘virtual tour’ and find details of special offers and new properties. You can also sign-up to receive e-newsletters, which are full of holiday ideas and discounts, and if you’re a fan of Facebook and Twitter you’ll find us there too.

All the properties we offer are individually selected and VisitEngland graded, which means they are independently quality assessed each year, so you know exactly what to expect when you book with us. Our prices are reassuring too – the cost of your holiday is fully inclusive of bed linen, heating and electricity.

KEEPING SUFFOLK SPECIAL We’re committed to looking after our customers, homeowners, staff and offices, and we believe it is important that we help protect the local area too. Everyone who books a holiday with us is therefore invited to donate £1 to help conserve and support the beautiful Suffolk Coasts and Heaths and, thanks to your generosity, we have so far raised more than £34,000 to donate to specific projects in the area. We’d like to say a big ‘thank you’ to all those who support this simple but effective initiative… your donations make a real difference to this very special region!

The quality of our properties is matched by our high standards of customer care – we are a VisitEngland Quality Accredited Agency – and our extensive knowledge of Suffolk. Our people are passionate about sharing their love of the places in which they live and work. Call in for a chat at The Old Water Tower on Southwold Common, on Aldeburgh’s very chic High Street, or by the banks of the beautiful River Deben in historic Woodbridge.

SOUTHWOLD A thriving resort at the heart of Suffolk’s heritage coast, Southwold has everything you want for the perfect cottage holiday A holiday hotspot all year round, Southwold is famous for its picture-postcard pier, brightly-coloured beach huts, busy harbour and working lighthouse. Charming holiday cottages meld into the town’s mix of Georgian, Regency and Victorian architecture, where you’ll find a range of select shops and renowned restaurants,

while the local Adnams brewery upholds Southwold’s long tradition of reviving and refreshing all those who visit. Southwold’s beautiful golden beach is a regular Blue Flag winner – perfect for bucket and spade-style fun, or a stroll along the water’s edge. WOODBRIDGE Situated on the banks of the beautiful river Deben, Woodbridge is home to one of the earliest Tide Mills in the UK, first recorded in 1170. The town is steeped in history – nearby lies National Trust-owned Sutton Hoo, where an Anglo-Saxon burial ship was discovered in the 1930s, while those with an interest in aerial history could also visit the Martlesham Heath Control Tower Museum, the site of an RAF Airfield that operated here from 1915 until the 1970s. Woodbridge has plenty of modern attractions too – the high street is home to over 100 independent and specialist shops and dozens of places to eat and drink. COAST AND HEATHS Suffolk’s coastline is constantly changing, but there’s an ever-present backdrop of breathtaking scenery and a dignified charm which draws visitors back to the county time

after time. Known locally as the Sandlings, the swathe of heathland that lines the coast between Southwold and Aldeburgh is of international importance for the flora and fauna found here. This is a region with endless opportunities for walking, cycling, birdwatching and painting, home to the RSPB’s flagship reserve Minsmere, the ‘drowned city’ that today is the mesmerising Dunwich, and the lesser-known but much-loved villages of Westleton, Eastbridge and Middleton. HEART AND SOUTH SUFFOLK The rural heart and south of Suffolk has long been an inspiration for artists, composers and writers, a region of diverse landscapes which is an ideal place to escape, explore and unwind. From the medieval timber-framed buildings of Hadleigh and Lavenham to the turreted Tudor mansion at Melford Hall and the famous Framlingham Castle, it’s also a place steeped in history and tradition. Stowmarket and Bury St Edmunds are thriving towns with lots of all-year appeal, while to the very south Felixstowe and Shotley are full of unspoilt seaside charm.

ALDEBURGH Once a thriving fishing and shipbuilding centre, Aldeburgh today is a chic and charming town at the heart of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A favourite holiday cottage location for families, artists and city folk in need of a cultural getaway, Aldeburgh is home to an upmarket mix of individuallyowned shops, boutiques, cafés and restaurants. A sense of timelessness reigns… this is a town where family fun is oldfashioned and centred around the shingle beach and model boating lake, while foodies flock to the fishermen’s seafront huts to select the best of the day’s catch.

Aldeburgh: for the finer things in life‌


Aldeburgh area At the heart of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Aldeburgh nestles mid-way between Southwold and Felixstowe. Once an important centre for fishing and shipbuilding, this charming seaside town is today a chic holiday destination, offering plenty to interest all ages at any time of year. For those who like the finer things in life, Aldeburgh is home to an eclectic range of contemporary galleries, chic boutiques and tasty eateries. But this is a place for home-made fun too – wander along the shoreline to choose your dinner freshly-caught by a local fisherman and then you can cook up a tasty treat in your holiday cottage! The surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is perfect for walking and cycling, and a great place to visit if you enjoy wildlife and birdwatching – the RSPB reserve at Minsmere, a few miles north of Aldeburgh, is said to be the best place in Britain to see bitterns. History and culture fans are well catered for here too – Aldeburgh is home to an ancient Moot Hall which has been used for council

meetings for over 400 years, and is famous the world over for its association with the Aldeburgh Festival, founded in 1948 by composer Benjamin Britten. The Festival takes place each summer just outside Aldeburgh in the nearby village of Snape – once described by former resident Britten as “just heaven” – where the beautiful Maltings Concert Hall stands on the banks of the River Alde. North of Aldeburgh is the fascinating coastal village of Thorpeness. Originally a small fishing hamlet and a route for smugglers into East Anglia, Thorpeness was developed in 1910 as a private resort by Scotsman Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie, complete with quirky mock Tudor architecture and a country club, golf club and boating lake. Nearby is the North Warren RSPB reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest where visitors can explore a mixture of heathland, reed bed and coastal grazing marshes. This tranquil part of the county is smattered with quaint little villages nestling in quintessentially Suffolk countryside. Friston, a few miles inland from Aldeburgh, is centred around a picturesque central green overlooked by a historic church which shares the skyline with a restored post mill, the tallest in England. And to the south-west of

Aldeburgh, Iken – reputed to be the base of Boudicca, Queen of the Iceni – occupies a commanding position overlooking the beautiful estuary of the River Alde. Within just a few miles of Suffolk’s major road and rail network, Aldeburgh and the surrounding area is easy to reach for a relaxing short break, while the laid-back lifestyle and breathtaking coastal scenery make this the perfect setting for a longer holiday. Come with friends, come with family or come as a couple… but do come and experience Aldeburgh’s enduring appeal for yourself soon!

These are superb stable conversions and ideal for larger groups if taken together.

The livery includes a menage and there are miles of farm tracks to be explored on horseback. Part of the Victorian farm buildings, the cottages are self-contained and set away from the farmhouse. You will normally be able to see plenty of livestock and other farm activities. Coarse fishing is available on the farm pond and there is use of the family's hard tennis court and a lawned football area. Kingfisher Cottage (sleeps 4), Swallow Cottage (sleeps 4), Avocet Cottage (sleeps 2) and Heron Cottage (sleeps 2) are all part of a luxury stable conversion - ideal for larger groups if taken together.

Southwold: Suffolk’s much-loved coastal capital

Southwold area Gloriously understated Southwold typifies all that’s best about the English seaside. Iconic beach huts, an historic pier and a working lighthouse mark this out as a resort with an interesting past, but Southwold’s selection of high-quality shops and renowned restaurants confirm its status as a thriving modern town where the emphasis is most definitely on fun for locals and visitors alike. Mentioned in the Domesday Book as an important fishing port, Southwold received a town charter from Henry VII in 1489 and is alive with history even today. The Great Fire of 1659 destroyed much of the town and created a number of open spaces, among them Gun Hill where six cannons point out to sea in commemoration of the Battle of Sole Bay, fought in 1672 between English and French fleets on one side and the Dutch on the other. Buildings which escaped the ravages of the fire include the impressive St Edmund’s Church, while other important landmarks include Suffolk Secret’s office at The Old Water Tower on Southwold Common – you can log on to our website for all-year-round webcam views of the town and coastline!

Amid the town’s mix of Georgian, Regency and Victorian architecture you’ll find a wide choice of charming holiday cottages. And there’s always a warm welcome in the local hostelries, where Adnams brewery upholds Southwold’s long tradition of reviving and refreshing all those who visit – beer has been brewed here for 600 years. But wherever you are in the town, the sound and scent of the sea are never far away… Southwold’s beautiful golden beach is a regular Blue Flag winner, perfect for bucket and spade-style fun, or a search for the precious amber which sometimes washes up here. Check what to look for in the town centre’s Amber Museum first! A short walk along the shore takes you to Southwold harbour, where you can watch boats navigate the often choppy waters as the River Blyth meets the North Sea. For exploration further afield, a foot ferry will transport you across the river to Walberswick, popular with ramblers and nature lovers and home to the much-celebrated British Open Crabbing Championship! A little way inland we have properties in some lovely villages. Wangford, on the edge of the Henham Park Estate – home of the annual Latitude Festival – is a charming little

village, its pleasant high street overlooked by a picturesque church and a 16th century pub. Cove Bottom is a tiny hamlet reached by a single track road – the perfect place to relax! – and Frostenden is home to one of Suffolk’s remaining round-tower churches. Reydon, just outside Southwold, gives you the chance to enjoy the best of both worlds – coast and countryside. Reydon Wood is popular with walkers, especially in spring when it is a carpet of bluebells, while the village is home to a character-filled hotel, known far and wide as the perfect place to enjoy locally-produced food at its best.

Woodbridge: Suffolk’s riverside idyll

Woodbridge area


Woodbridge area At the southern tip of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Woodbridge sits on the banks of the beautiful River Deben. Full of character and history, this former port is now a picturesque market town alive with winding lanes, medieval timbered cottages, Georgian townhouses and a mixture of cosy pubs, independent shops, boutiques, delicatessens and bookshops. The town is home to an historic Tide Mill – one of the oldest in the UK, dating from the 18th century – while just outside Woodbridge is the fascinating Sutton Hoo, where an Anglo-Saxon burial ship was discovered in the 1930s. Close by, Ipswich is England’s oldest continuously settled Anglo-Saxon town, and home to some stunning historic buildings including a number of medieval churches. Look out for Christchurch Mansion, a fine Tudor house which boasts the best collection of Constable and Gainsborough works outside London. A busy retail and commercial centre, Ipswich has a vibrant riverfront area complete with chic cafés, cosmopolitan restaurants, shops and stylish apartments.

All along the coastal region between Felixstowe and Aldeburgh, the sparsely populated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is home to a scattering of picturepostcard hamlets which hint at times past. Capel St Andrew, for example, hasn’t had a church for centuries but is worth a visit if only to see the steel sculpture which serves as a village sign and shows St Andrew the fisherman with his catch of herrings and eels. At the entrance to the Alde estuary, Shingle Street is an isolated hamlet which sits on a shingle beach facing the bracing North Sea. With a panoramic view of the sea to the front and grassy marshlands to the rear, the collection of cottages here make the ideal choice for a real get-away-from-it-all holiday. Further to the north, Orford Castle was built between 1165 and 1173 by Henry II. The keep, described by historian R Allen Brown as “one of the most remarkable” in England, still stands among the earth-covered remains of the outer fortifications. At Orford’s little quay you can catch a boat out to Orford Ness, an internationallyimportant and Europe’s largest vegetated shingle spit, where the diverse habitat provides an important breeding ground for wading birds. Havergate Island, an RSPB bird

sanctuary, is also nearby and famous for its avocet population. Rendlesham Forest, owned by the Forestry Commission, was the site of the UK’s most famous UFO event, the so-called ‘Rendlesham Forest Incident’. Here, in December 1980, dozens of USAF personnel from nearby RAF Woodbridge reported sightings of unexplained lights and the landing of a craft of unknown origin. Sceptics believe, however, that the lights were simply the flashing of Orford Ness lighthouse.

Coast and Heaths: an area of rare beauty

Coast and Heaths


Coast and Heaths A breathtakingly beautiful area of gently undulating heathland which at one time ran unbroken almost the whole length of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths area, the Sandlings is among Britain’s rarest habitats and is ecologically important on a world scale. This wild landscape was created thousands of years ago when its sandy, free-draining acidic soils led to the development of a characteristic heathland flora, dominated by heather, as farmers cleared ancient trees and introduced sheep to graze the land. Beautiful all year round, it’s a great holiday location for visitors seeking fresh air and wide open spaces, but with a warm welcome guaranteed from the locals who are lucky enough to live in the idyllic hamlets and villages here. Heathland is as important for wildlife as it is beautiful to look at, so this area is carefully managed and as a result many rare and endangered species can today be spotted here, making the Sandlings a must for wildlife enthusiasts and birdwatchers. But there are plenty of other things to see and do in the Sandlings area too. This unspoilt part of the Suffolk coastline is home to a number of picturesque villages including

Dunwich – once a prosperous port and an important Middle Ages centre for the wool trade – which has been reduced from a town to a tiny village due to centuries of coastal erosion. Local legend has it that, at certain tides, church bells can still be heard from beneath the waves. Perched on a clifftop high above the beach, the ruins of a 13th century priory remain to this day. South of Dunwich is the pretty village of Westleton. Centred around a large green with two good pubs and a restaurant, this is a perfect location from which to explore the RSPB’s flagship Minsmere Reserve – a mixture of heath, woodland, reed beds, marsh and shallow lagoons which are home to a great variety of birdlife. Another favourite coastal location for walkers – and a pleasant walk from Westleton – is Eastbridge, which contains a charming 16th century ale-house, much frequented by travellers and smugglers over the ages. Nearby are freshwater marshes and a scenic bridleway which leads to the sea. Further south is the town of Leiston, site of the picturesque Leiston Abbey which dates from the 14th century and is another great place for those interested in the Suffolk Heritage Coast.

Inland we have properties in a number of pristine rural villages. Middleton’s central green is overlooked by a thatched pub and a beautiful spire church. At Theberton you can see the remains of a German Zeppelin airship in the church porch – sixteen crew members died when it was shot down while on a bombing raid. Or you could head to Saxmundham to enjoy a selection of independent shops and pubs… perfect for retail therapy and refreshments!

Heart and South Suffolk: traditional and timeless

Heart and South Suffolk


Heart and South Suffolk The rural heart of Suffolk has long been an inspiration for artists, composers and writers. The countryside here is dotted with ancient homesteads hidden in a rolling landscape, with little more than a church tower visible from a distance. Up close, traditional pinkpainted cottages cluster around village greens, their timeless beauty a reminder that East Anglia is England’s oldest settled region. Stowmarket, located in the centre of the county on the River Gipping, is a thriving market town boasting a variety of listed buildings typical of the area – not to be missed is the Museum of East Anglian Life, while magnificent Framlingham Castle is just a short drive to the east. To the south is the Stour Valley and idyllic ‘Constable Country’. Sudbury was home to Thomas Gainsborough and a fine art collection is housed in his former residence here. Take a different sort of trip down memory lane with a boat trip along the River Stour – one of the first English rivers to be made navigable to barge traffic. Nearby is the picturesque village of Long Melford, well known for its range of antique dealers and independent retailers as well as a fine selection of eateries. Long Melford has been settled for many centuries – buildings

from the 15th century rub shoulders with Georgian facades and Victorian terraces, while the nearby halls of Melford and Kentwell are testament to its importance in Tudor times. Flatford and Stratford St Mary are both the setting for some of John Constable’s finest and most famous works – don’t miss Constable’s much-loved The Old Stratford Mill, dating from 1600, when you visit. For a real lesson in architectural history, however, you must visit Lavenham – the finest medieval village in England is home to more than 300 listed buildings. And not far away, Bury St Edmunds boasts an Abbey ruins, over a thousand preserved buildings, stunning Abbey Gardens and the recently crowned St Edmundsbury Cathedral. It’s easy to see why Daniel Defoe and Charles Dickens were fans, but if your appetite is whet by more modern attractions, then Bury has a bustling retail centre with a selection of fine shops and eateries – and the excellent Greene King brewery is open to visitors too! At the southern tip of this region, the charming seaside resort of Felixstowe is where the North Sea meets the estuaries of the rivers Orwell, Stour and Deben. With its line of beach huts, long promenade and perfectly manicured seafront gardens, plus a

pleasurable mix of Victorian and Edwardian architecture, Felixstowe is great for a traditional family holiday. The Spa Pavilion Theatre – a 900-seat art deco building on the promenade – is always worth a visit, while history buffs will enjoy the Languard Fort and nature lovers will want to visit the Languard Bird Observatory at the mouth of the Orwell.

Our Suffolk...

REF: JAS

Debenham Sleeps 6

Apart from being a hotbed for smugglers in the 18th century, Minsmere is now more famous as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It offers families and keen birdwatchers a great day out, the children love borrowing the Wildlife Explorer Backpacks and going off with their bug boxes! I love the hides and watching all the birds in close up and the red deer, which are amazing. The guides are great, especially if you are a novice, they are so patient and they do some great guided walks. I always buy our bird food from the shop, the blue tits and great tits in our garden love the coconut shell treats.

Certification of any medical problem is requested from your Doctor. This should confirm that you are not well enough to take your holiday because of illness and that the condition was not known at the time of booking. For additional risks not covered by the plan you are advised to seek further cover.

HOW TO BOOK YOUR HOLIDAY

167


Booking conditions

BOOKING CONDITIONS Reservations of all accommodation, whether made by telephone, in person, in writing or via the internet are accepted by SUFFOLK Secrets hereinafter referred to as SS on the following conditions. 1. CONTRACT OF HIRE The hiring contract will be between you the Hirer and the Owner of the property for which the booking is made and shall be deemed to be made subject to these Conditions of Hire and governed by English Law. SS act as Agents for owners, and are not Principals. The Contract of Hire is not effective until SS despatch to the Hirer written confirmation of the booking. The contract is for the hire of the property for holiday purposes only. We do not accept bookings from Hirers under 18 years of age. 2. INITIAL PAYMENT Bookings will be confirmed upon receipt by SS of the required deposit payment of one third of the total holiday cost, comprising cottage rental, booking fee and any additional charges – e.g. pets. If the booking is made within eight weeks of the holiday commencement date, the full accommodation rental will be required at the time of booking. Deposits can be paid by card or cheque, or in the case of web bookings, paid online through our secure payment system. 3. BALANCE PAYMENT The Balance of the Hire will be due for payment eight weeks before the holiday commencement date. On receipt of the Balance Payment, advice of key collection arrangements and directions to the property will be sent to the Hirer. The Owner/SS reserves the right to cancel a holiday where full payment has not been received less than 28 days before the holiday commencement date. The deposit paid on the booking is non-returnable.

Visit www.suffolk-secrets.co.uk

4. METHOD OF PAYMENT Cheques should be made payable to SUFFOLK Secrets. Credit card payments are subject to a surcharge of 2%. There is no charge for debit card payments.

168

5. VALUE ADDED TAX Where VAT applies to the property rental, it is included in the quoted price at the prevailing rate. SS’s Confirmation of Booking is not a VAT invoice. All NCC charges and VAT inclusive rentals include VAT at the prevailing rate and are subject to change if the rate changes. 6. CONFIRMATION OF BOOKING Once SS has issued a Confirmation of Booking, the Hirer is responsible for the total published price of the property and extras as shown on the confirmation. Amendments to bookings, where applicable, will be subject to an administration fee of £50 - see Essential Information on Page 170. The Agents reserve the right to adjust prices quoted in the brochure, on our website or on details to properties, due to errors or omissions or changes in VAT. 7. BOOKING CANCELLATION The Cancellation/ Curtailment Protection Scheme does not extend to overseas bookings and these visitors are advised to make their own alternative arrangements to ensure cover. If you are forced to cancel your holiday you must inform SS immediately – see Cancellation/Curtailment Protection

Scheme on Page 167 for details of how to make a claim. In all cases of cancellation where the reason for cancellation is not covered by the Cancellation Protection Scheme, the deposit is forfeited. Our Cancellation Protection Scheme is automatically arranged for you and is included in the cost of your holiday. This protects you for all or part of your responsibility for the balance of hire terms and/or deposit if you cancel for one of the qualifying reasons set out on Page 167 If you have to cancel your holiday due to any of the reasons shown on page 167 we will refund up to the cottage holiday rental you are liable to pay, less the booking fee and a handling charge of £60. A cancellation made for reasons outside those listed on Page 167 is not protected in this way, and you will remain liable for full payment unless we are able to re-let all or part of the period booked, in which case SS will consider a refund, less the Booking Fee (if applicable) and less a handling charge of £90. It is possible to opt out of our Cancellation Protection Scheme, but there is no monetary value to the Hirer and the hire charge will be payable in full. 8. BOOKING FEE SS charges a booking fee of £25 for your first booking in any calendar year, payable at the time of booking. Additional bookings with the same customer reference where the cottage hire period starts in the same calendar year (1st January – 31st December) will not attract a booking fee. 9. AMENITIES The use of accommodation and amenities, where offered, such as swimming pools, rowing boats, beach huts etc, is entirely at the users’ risk, and no responsibility can be accepted for injury, or loss or damage to users’ or visitors’ belongings. However, SS do not seek to exclude or limit legal liability for the negligence of their servants or agents. 10. PARTY NUMBERS In no circumstances may more than the maximum number of persons as stated in the brochure or website occupy a property. Owners reserve the right to refuse admittance if this condition is not observed. Only those listed on the booking may occupy the premises. The person who completes the booking, i.e. the lead name, certifies that he or she is authorised to agree to the Booking Conditions on behalf of all members of the party, including any changes. The lead name must be over 18 years and a member of the party occupying the property. The lead name agrees to take responsibility for all members of the party. The Owner/SS reserve the right to refuse or revoke any bookings from parties that may in their opinion (and at their sole discretion) be unsuitable for the property concerned. 11. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES For the whole of the period included within your booking, you will be responsible for the property and will be expected to take all reasonable care of it. The property details aim to give accurate descriptions of the properties. Should there be any specific health or mobility difficulties which may affect a party member, this must be pointed out at the initial reservation stage so that the suitability of the property can be assessed. The property and all equipment and utensils must be left clean and tidy at the

end of the hire period. At no time should a pet be left alone unsupervised at the property. The property must be vacated by 10.00am on the day of departure. 12. DAMAGE All damages and breakages are the legal responsibility of you, the Hirer, and should be notified to the Owner or keyholder/SS before the end of your holiday. The cost of damage or breakages shall be payable on demand. Normally, minor damage or breakages will not be charged but in circumstances where extra cleaning is required or there has been breakage or damage beyond what is reasonably to be expected, the Owner/SS reserve the right to charge you for any additional costs incurred as a consequence and may, at their discretion, refuse further bookings. Should you find on arrival any damaged or non-working items, they must be reported to the Owner or keyholder immediately, so that matters can be rectified. The Owner/SS has the right to enter the property (without prior notice if this is not practical or possible) if special circumstances or emergencies arise (for example if repairs need to be carried out). Any Damages/Security Deposits charged by the Owner and administered by the Owner themselves may be cashed on receipt to allow for bank clearance and reimbursed promptly after the holiday (less any penalties which may be incurred). SS reserves the right to request payment of a security deposit should it be deemed necessary by the Owner. The Owner/SS reserves the right to repossess the Holiday Home at any time, where you or any member of your party has caused damage. The Owner/SS shall not be liable to make a refund of any remaining portion of the hire terms paid. 13. COMPLAINT PROCEDURE If you are dissatisfied with the service you received, the Owner or keyholder/SS must be notified immediately, so that investigation can be carried out and any necessary action taken. You should follow the complaints procedure outlined in this brochure in the Essential Information section on Page 170. 14. LITERATURE SS takes every care to ensure the accuracy of the property descriptions. All information in this brochure and on our website is given in good faith and is believed to be correct at the time of going to press, but SS cannot be held responsible for changes beyond their control, which may become known after publication of this literature. In addition, whilst we describe properties as non-smoking or no pets, this cannot be guaranteed. The description of a cottage shows what amenities that property has but generally does not state what is not in the property. Please be aware that if a property is advertised as having an enclosed garden, this does not necessarily mean a secure garden. It may be enclosed by hedging or open style fencing. Further, SS cannot accept liability for happenings outside their reasonable control, such as breakdown of domestic appliances, plumbing, wiring, temporary invasion of pests, damage resulting from exceptional weather conditions or the Owner’s negligence resulting in loss, injury or accident.


16. AVAILABILITY The Hiring Contract is made on the understanding that the property and its facilities as published will be available for the dates stated. In the unlikely event that a property is not available through events arising outside the control of the Owner/SS, then the Owner/SS may be forced to cancel the booking. The Hirer will be advised as early as possible. Where possible, the Hirer will be offered suitable alternative accommodation, which, if not acceptable, will entitle the Hirer to a refund of all monies due. The Hirer will not as a result have any further claims against SS or the Owner. Please note that reservation requests taken via our website are not confirmed bookings until we have contacted you and accepted a payment.

15. LEGAL In the event of any dispute between parties it shall be governed by the jurisdiction of the English courts only and any actions shall be heard in the court for the area in which the property is located unless otherwise agreed between the parties. However, it is hereby agreed and declared that all reasonable endeavours will be used to resolve the dispute arising between you and the Owner and/or SS without immediate recourse to litigation. If not mutually resolved, it is further agreed that all reasonable endeavours will be used to resolve the dispute by a formally recognised alternative dispute resolution process i.e. mediation, arbitration or expert determination. In default of such agreement, the process and appointment of the independent professional will be determined by the President for the time being of the Law Society or the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. In either case, all parties will contribute equally to the expense of such process, and, in default these expenses shall be capable of being recovered in any subsequent litigation.

Essential information

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE Arrival and departure day is shown on each of the property description pages. All properties are available from 4pm on the start day and please depart no later than 10am on the last day. You will be given instructions as to key collection and we ask that you read and follow these instructions carefully to ensure there are no entry issues on arrival at your property. Please do not arrive early, unless previously arranged, as time is needed to thoroughly clean the property between lets. We also ask that you leave the property by 10am on departure day for the same reason. Some properties may involve key collection from a nearby location but all details will be shown on final travel instructions sent to customers prior to the holiday. SHORT BREAKS Short breaks are available in many of our properties from October to April excluding bank holidays and October half term. Short breaks, where applicable, can start on any day and are priced for a minimum of 3 nights. You will receive full details of arrival time, directions and key arrangements after you have paid the balance of the hire charge. WELCOME PACK Some Homeowners provide a welcome pack or tray for visitors and if this is the case it will be shown in the property details. What is provided will differ from property to property but the minimum included should normally consist of tea, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits. ELECTRICITY AND HEATING Electricity and heating are always included in the rental cost, but where an open fire is available the fuel for this may need to be purchased separately. LINEN AND TOWELS Normally, beds at all properties are made up with duvets and bed linen included in the holiday price. (Except for cots and folding beds).

Visit www.suffolk-secrets.co.uk

Towels are provided in some properties where stated in the property description. Tea towels are provided in all properties.

170

COT/HIGHCHAIR A cot or high chair are only provided where the symbol is shown in the property description. DOGS Many of our properties will accept one wellbehaved pet and these will display a dog symbol. Please remember that pets should not be left unattended in properties and that some Homeowners insist on pets remaining downstairs and off furniture at all times. It will be clearly stated in the property description if pets are welcome. Bookings that include pets are taken on the understanding that all flea and worming treatments are up to date. You, as the pet owner, will be responsible for removing any evidence left by your pet. Please show consideration for guests visiting after you have gone home. A charge of £20 will be made per dog per week or £15 per dog per short break. EXTRA PERSONS Some properties have extra beds or sofa beds, the extra number of persons will be shown as +1 or +2. In no circumstances may more than the maximum number of persons indicated occupy a property (see Booking Conditions 10).

CLEANING All our cottages are cleaned thoroughly between holidays. We would ask that you leave the property and its contents clean and tidy (see Booking Conditions 11). CHRISTMAS/NEW YEAR Christmas and New Year bookings for 2012/13 will run from the usual start date for the property. Please note that short breaks are not normally available during Bank Holidays but some owners may make their property available for short breaks over the New Year period. ALTERATIONS TO BOOKINGS We cannot accept a change of holiday property once we have received your deposit payment. It may be possible to change your holiday week providing you advise us not less than 8 weeks prior to your original holiday start date. This is not always possible, although if we are able to rearrange this for you, a charge of £50 will be made to cover administration costs. No change of dates is operative until we receive written confirmation and the alteration fee. LOST PROPERTY Please take all your belongings with you. If, when you arrive home, you notice something missing, please let us know as soon as possible. We are happy to return items to you at cost with a minimum charge of £2.50 but, please note, items not claimed within 28 days will be disposed of. CUSTOMER SERVICE 1. If you are unhappy with your booking or the way it has been handled, please inform us immediately. 2. The contract is between you the Hirer, and the Homeowner, so if any problems arise during your stay, you should contact the person whose details are given on the paperwork who should put the matter right as soon as possible. 3. If the matter is not resolved, let us know as soon as possible. Complaints not reported at the time cannot be entertained subsequently and it is regretted that no correspondence can be entered into in the case of complaints made after you return home when it will be appreciated that it is quite impossible for them to be effectively investigated. 4. If you have an urgent problem, please contact the person whose details are given – it may be the Homeowner or keyholder. If you cannot contact the Homeowner or the keyholder, telephone our office on 01502 722717 during office hours; if this is not possible, then call our out-of-hours contact number (details will be given with final invoice and directions). 5. Please leave a telephone number or location where you can be contacted. 6. We will do all we can to rectify the matter – if we are unable to do this and, in our opinion, your complaint is justified, we will try to find alternative accommodation for you. i. This may involve an increase or decrease in your holiday cost, depending on the price category of the alternative property. ii. It may not be possible to re-locate you in high season. In such cases, where you do not stay in your

booked property, we will arrange a full reimbursement of the price paid. 7. Our liability and that of the Homeowner is limited to the price you paid, except in the case of legal liability for personal damage or injury, for which purpose public liability insurance is carried by the Homeowner. PERIOD PROPERTIES Many of the properties within this brochure are older cottages dating back to the last century or earlier. It is important to remember before booking a holiday in one of these properties that part of the charm of such properties are the characteristically low ceilings, doorways and beams. They often have steep and narrow stairs and because of low or sloping ceilings, may have limited clothes hanging facilities. Many were also built before the introduction of damp proof courses and cavity insulation. These points are particularly important to note if your party has any elderly or very young members. Thatched roofs and beams can attract spiders, and cobwebs reappear very quickly after being removed. Having made these points, however, we feel that these are all aspects of these properties that add character and charm, and we would not hesitate to recommend them so long as these features are understood. This information supersedes previous issues.
