The details that help make every stay simple, clear and enjoyable.
Last updated: November 2026
These Booking Terms & Conditions apply to direct bookings for stays at The Old Schoolhouse (“the Property”).
By making a booking, the lead guest confirms that they have read, understood and agree to these Booking Terms & Conditions on behalf of themselves and all members of their party.
1. YOUR BOOKING
The Old Schoolhouse is a privately owned holiday property in Wales. Your booking contract is with the owners of The Old Schoolhouse (“the Owners”, “we”, “us” or “our”).
The person making the booking must be 25 years of age or over, have the legal capacity to enter into the booking contract and be authorised to make the booking on behalf of everyone in the party.
The lead guest is responsible for ensuring that all members of the party, and any permitted visitors, comply with these Booking Terms & Conditions and the House Rules.
A booking is confirmed once the required payment has been received and a booking confirmation has been issued.
2. GUEST NUMBERS
The maximum occupancy of the Property is 8 guests, including adults and children but excluding a maximum of 2 infants where specifically agreed at the time of booking.
The number of guests staying at the Property must not exceed the number stated on the booking confirmation or the maximum permitted occupancy.
Additional overnight guests are not permitted without our prior written agreement.
The Property must not be used for parties, events, commercial gatherings or any purpose other than the holiday accommodation agreed at the time of booking.
3. PAYMENT
For bookings made more than 6 weeks (42 days) before check-in, a deposit of 30% of the total booking price is payable at the time of booking.
The remaining 70% balance is due 6 weeks (42 days) before check-in and will be charged automatically to the payment method associated with the booking, where our booking system permits.
For bookings made 6 weeks (42 days) or fewer before check-in, the full booking price is payable at the time of booking.
Any additional charges selected as part of the booking, including pet fees, pool heating or other optional extras, will be shown during the booking process or otherwise agreed with the guest.
If a payment cannot be collected when due, we will contact the lead guest. If payment remains outstanding, we reserve the right to treat the booking as cancelled, subject to applicable consumer law.
4. CANCELLATION BY YOU
If you need to cancel your stay, you must notify us in writing as soon as possible.
Where cancellation is made more than 6 weeks (42 days) before check-in, the cancellation charge is 30% of the accommodation price, and any balance you have paid will be refunded.
Where cancellation is made 6 weeks (42 days) or fewer before check-in, the cancellation charge is 100% of the accommodation price, subject to our obligation to take reasonable steps to mitigate our loss and re-letting provisions below.
In the event of a no-show, the cancellation charge is 100% of the accommodation price.
Charges for optional extras, including dogs and pool heating, will be refunded in full in the event of cancellation, regardless of when the cancellation occurs.
We will take reasonable steps to re-let cancelled dates where practicable. If we successfully re-let all or part of the cancelled stay, we will take the amount recovered into account when calculating our actual loss and any refund due to you, less any reasonable costs incurred as a result of the cancellation, including any reduction in price necessary to secure a replacement booking.
Bookings for holiday accommodation for specified dates are not subject to the usual statutory 14-day cancellation period applicable to certain contracts. Your cancellation rights are therefore those set out above, together with any rights you may have under applicable consumer law.
We strongly recommend that guests arrange appropriate travel insurance, including cover for cancellation, illness, travel disruption and other circumstances that may prevent them from travelling.
5. CANCELLATION BY US
In the unlikely event that we have to cancel your booking because the Property cannot reasonably be made available to you, we will notify you as soon as possible and refund in full all amounts paid to us in respect of that booking for accommodation that we are unable to provide.
We will not cancel a booking without good reason.
Nothing in these terms limits any statutory rights or remedies available to you.
6. SECURITY DEPOSIT
A £450 security deposit will be required in connection with your stay.
Where supported by our payment provider, this will normally be taken as a temporary authorisation or hold on the guest's payment card, rather than as a payment.
The security deposit may be used towards the reasonable cost of damage, breakages, loss, excessive cleaning or other costs arising from a material breach of these Booking Terms & Conditions or the House Rules.
If we propose to make a charge, we will provide reasonable details of the reason for it.
The security deposit does not limit the guest's responsibility for losses or damage for which they are legally liable where the reasonable cost exceeds £450.
The £450 security deposit will normally be authorised against the guest's payment card 2 days before check-out. Unless we reasonably retain all or part of the deposit in connection with damage, loss, excessive cleaning or another matter covered by these Booking Terms & Conditions, the authorisation will be released by us within 3 days following check-out. The time taken for the released amount to become available may vary depending on the guest's bank or card issuer.
7. ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE
Check-in is from 4:00pm on the day of arrival.
Check-out is by 10:00am on the day of departure.
These times allow us to prepare the Property to the required standard between guests. Early arrival or late departure is only permitted where expressly agreed by us in advance.
Guests will receive arrival and access information before their stay.
8. DOGS
A maximum of 2 well-behaved dogs are permitted where included in the booking.
The pet charge is £30 per dog, per stay.
Dogs must remain downstairs and are not permitted in bedrooms or on beds.
Guests are responsible for supervising their dogs, cleaning up after them and ensuring they do not cause damage, nuisance or disturbance.
Dogs must not be left at the Property in circumstances where they are likely to cause distress, damage or disturbance.
No other pets or animals may be brought to the Property without our prior written agreement.
9. SWIMMING POOL
The outdoor swimming pool is seasonally available from 1 April to 30 September.
Pool heating may be available as an optional paid extra. Pool heating is only available where all dates of the booked stay fall within the pool season of 1 April to 30 September inclusive. Where any part of a stay falls outside this period, pool heating will not be available to add to the booking.
Where selected, pool heating applies to the entire stay and is charged accordingly. It cannot be added for individual days only.
Where the pool heating has been selected and paid for, and the pool is unavailable for one or more days of your stay for any reason, we will refund the pool heating charge on a pro-rata basis for each affected day. Where the pool heating is unavailable for the whole of your stay, the full pool heating charge will be refunded. Refunds under this paragraph will be made within 14 days of your departure. Pool heating is an optional extra and its unavailability does not of itself entitle you to cancel or to a refund of the accommodation price.
Guests use the swimming pool and surrounding areas responsibly and must follow all pool rules and safety information provided at the Property.
Diving, glassware and unsafe behaviour in or around the pool are not permitted.
The swimming pool is unsupervised and no lifeguard is provided. Children and any person who is not a competent swimmer must be closely supervised by a responsible adult at all times when in or around the swimming pool. Guests must not enter the pool while under the influence of alcohol or drugs or otherwise use the pool in an unsafe manner.
Temporary closure may occasionally be necessary for essential maintenance, safety reasons or circumstances outside our reasonable control. Where this occurs, we will endeavour to minimise disruption.
Where we become aware before your arrival that the swimming pool will be unavailable for all or part of your stay, we will notify the lead guest as reasonably possible so that you can consider your options. Where the pool is closed during your stay we will inform you promptly and give an indication of how long we expect the closure to last.
10. CHILDREN & INFANTS
Children and infants are very welcome at The Old Schoolhouse. Parents and responsible adults remain responsible for the supervision and safety of children in their party throughout their stay, particularly around the swimming pool, garden, field, driveway, fireplace and other areas of the Property where additional care may be required.
A travel cot may be available by prior request. Guests should provide appropriate bedding for infants unless otherwise agreed.
The Property includes features typical of a rural property and is not represented as being childproof.
11. BEDROOM CONFIGURATION
Certain bedrooms can be configured as either Super King or Twin beds.
Where this option is available, guests should provide their preferred configuration before arrival using our pre-arrival form.
We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate requested configurations where they are received within the requested timeframe.
12. USE OF THE PROPERTY
The Property is provided solely for private holiday accommodation by the guests named or included in the booking.
Parties, events and unauthorised gatherings are not permitted.
Guests must behave respectfully towards the Property, our neighbours and the surrounding community.

The grounds form part of the Property and are provided for guests' private use. They include areas typical of a rural property and are not maintained or landscaped as a public space.
Guests must take care when using the grounds, particularly in poor weather or after dark, as surfaces may be uneven, wet or slippery and external lighting is limited.
The driveway is used by vehicles and is not a play area. Children must be supervised in and around the driveway and the entrance to the Property at all times.
Children must be supervised at all times in the field and other outdoor areas. The boundaries of the Property are not fully enclosed and may adjoin agricultural land, roads or watercourses. Gates must be kept closed.
The septic tank and any associated covers, inspection chambers or drainage equipment must not be opened, obstructed, driven over or interfered with.
Ponds, water features, ditches and watercourses on or adjoining the Property are not fenced. Children must not be left unsupervised near them.
Garden equipment, tools, machinery and any outbuildings or stores not made available for guest use must not be used or entered.
Fires, fire pits, chimes, barbecues other than the gas barbecue provided, fireworks, sky lantern and the use of drones are not permitted anywhere in the grounds.
Guests must not enter neighbouring land. Where a right of way crosses or adjoins the Property, guests should keep to it and respect the privacy of neighbouring occupiers.
The grounds are used at guests' own risk, subject to clause 23.
13. ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
The Property does not have an electric vehicle charging point. Charging electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles at the Property is not permitted.
Guests must not use domestic or external electrical sockets, extension leads or any other electrical supply at the Property for the purpose of charging a vehicle.
14. SMOKING & VAPING
The Property is strictly non-smoking. Smoking and vaping are not permitted anywhere inside the house.
Smoking is permitted outside; however, when smoking close to the house, guests are asked to ensure that nearby windows and external doors, including patio doors, are kept closed to prevent smoke from entering the Property.
Guests must dispose of cigarettes, smoking materials and vaping waste safely and responsibly. Cigarette ends must not be left anywhere within the grounds.
15. FIRE SAFETY
On arrival, guests should familiarise themselves with the Fire Action Notice displayed in the property, the location of the escape routes and exits, and the position of the emergency lighting and the fire extinguishers and fire blankets.
Smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms must not be covered, removed, disabled or otherwise interfered with. Please tell us promptly if an alarm activates, sounds a fault warning or appears not to be working.
Escape routes, hallways, landings and exits must be kept clear at all times.
Candles, tealights, incense, oil burners and other naked flames are not permitted anywhere in the Property.
The fireplace may only be used with the fuel supplied. The fire must not be left unattended, and it must be extinguished before the guests go to bed or leave the Property. Ash must be left to cool fully in the appliance or disposed of only as directed in the Guest Guide. Nothing may be dried, stored or placed on or near the appliance.
The gas barbecue must be used outside only, on a level surface, away from the house, fences and other structures, and must never be used indoors, in a porch or under a covered area. It must not be left unattended while lit and must be turned off at the gas supply after use.
Portable heaters, additional cooking appliances and similar equipment must not be brought to or used at the Property.
In the event of fire, guests should evacuate immediately, call 999 and notify us as soon as it is safe to do so. Guests should not attempt to tackle a fire beyond what is safe.
16. CARE OF THE PROPERTY
Guests are expected to take reasonable care of the Property, its furnishings, equipment and grounds.
Please use the coasters, placemats and other protective items provided and follow any instructions contained within the Guest Guide.
The Property uses a septic tank. Only toilet paper may be flushed down the toilets. Wipes, sanitary products, nappies and other materials must be disposed of appropriately.
Refillable toiletries and other reusable items supplied for guest use form part of the Property and must not be removed.
17. DAMAGE, BREAKAGES & EXCESSIVE CLEANING
Accidents happen, and we ask guests to tell us promptly about any damage or breakages so that we can resolve them as quickly as possible.
Guests may be responsible for the reasonable cost of repairing or replacing items damaged or lost during their stay where they or a member of their party is responsible.
Additional reasonable charges may also apply where the Property requires cleaning materially beyond that expected following normal holiday use.
We will provide reasonable details of any charges claimed.
18. HOUSE RULES
Guests must comply with the House Rules and reasonable safety or property instructions provided before or during the stay, including information contained within the Guest Guide.
Serious or repeated breaches — including unauthorised parties, material damage, significant disturbance to neighbours or exceeding the permitted occupancy — may result in us requiring guests to leave the Property where reasonably necessary.
Where guests are required to leave the Property following a serious breach, no refund of the accommodation price will be made. Guests remain liable for the reasonable costs arising from the breach, including any damage, additional cleaning, loss of subsequent bookings and any costs incurred in dealing with complaints from neighbours or the authorities. Such costs may be deducted from the security deposit, and the guest remains liable for any amount exceeding it.
Any action taken will be proportionate to the circumstances and does not affect either party's legal rights.
19. OWNER ACCESS
We respect our guests' privacy and will not enter the Property unnecessarily during a stay.
However, we or people acting on our behalf may need reasonable access where necessary for urgent repairs, maintenance, safety, security or emergencies.
Where circumstances permit, we will contact the lead guest before entering.
20. UTILITIES, FACILITIES & SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS
We take reasonable care to ensure that the Property and its advertised facilities are available as described.
Occasionally, utilities, internet access, appliances, the swimming pool or other facilities may be affected by maintenance, technical faults, weather or events outside our reasonable control.
Please notify us promptly of any problem so that we have an opportunity to investigate and, where reasonably possible, rectify it.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.
21. FORCE MAJEURE –CIRCUMSTANCES OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL
Neither party will be responsible for a failure or delay in performing their obligations where this is caused by circumstances outside that party's reasonable control (“Force Majeure”).
Such circumstances may include, for example, extreme weather, flooding, fire, natural disasters, interruption of essential utilities, government action, epidemic or pandemic, or other events which could not reasonably have been prevented or avoided.
If a Force Majeure event materially affects our ability to provide the Property for your booked stay, we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible and explain the options available.
Nothing in this section affects any rights or remedies available to you under applicable consumer law.
22. COMPLAINTS

Subject to the paragraph above, our total liability to you arising out of or in connection with your booking and stay, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, is limited to the total amount paid by you for the booking.

OUR LEGAL BASIS FOR USING YOUR INFORMATION
Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing your personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, we may process your information because:
It is necessary to perform our contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
For example, to process a booking, take payment, provide your accommodation and communicate with you about your stay.
It is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
For example, where we are required to retain certain financial, transaction or other records.
It is necessary for our legitimate interests.
This may include operating and protecting The Old Schoolhouse, managing our bookings, maintaining appropriate records, preventing fraud, resolving disputes and improving the services we provide, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
You have given us your consent.
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
WHO WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION WITH
We only share personal information where it is reasonably necessary to operate The Old Schoolhouse, administer your booking, provide services to you or comply with the law.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include:
- Guesty, which we use to manage reservations, guest communications and our direct-booking system;
- Stripe, which may process payments made in connection with your booking;
- our website and technology service providers, including Webflow;
- housekeeping, maintenance or other service providers where they require information to prepare for or support your stay;
- professional advisers such as accountants, insurers or legal advisers where necessary;
- online travel agents or booking platforms where your reservation has been made through them; and
- government, regulatory, law-enforcement or other authorities where disclosure is required or permitted by law.

Some third-party providers may also process information as independent data controllers for their own purposes. Where this applies, their use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies.
INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Some of the technology and service providers we use may process or store personal information outside the United Kingdom, including the United States.
We use Guesty to manage reservations and guest communications, and Stripe to process payments. Both may transfer personal information outside the UK.
Any such transfer is covered by a mechanism permitted under UK data protection law. Depending on the recipient, this may be UK adequacy regulations (including the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework), an international data transfer agreement or UK addendum, or another lawful mechanism.Where personal information is transferred internationally, we expect the relevant service provider to use an appropriate lawful mechanism or safeguard for the transfer as required by applicable data protection law.
Further information about the privacy practices and international transfer arrangements of individual service providers can be found in their respective privacy policies.
HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including the management of your booking and stay and the fulfilment of any legal, accounting, tax, insurance or reporting requirements.
Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it securely or ensure that it is no longer identifiable.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information in our possession against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.
We also use established third-party service providers to manage elements of our website, booking and payment systems.
No internet-based service or electronic storage system can, however, be guaranteed to be completely secure.
YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS
Depending on the circumstances and the lawful basis on which we process your information, UK data protection law gives you rights in relation to your personal information.
These may include the right to:
- request access to the personal information we hold about you;
- ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete;
- ask us to delete your personal information in certain circumstances;
- ask us to restrict the way we use your information in certain circumstances;
- object to certain uses of your personal information;
- receive certain personal information in a portable format where applicable; and

These rights are not absolute and may not apply in every circumstance.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@the-old-schoolhouse.com.
We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request.
YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT
Where we process your personal information on the basis of our legitimate interests, you have the right to object to that processing in certain circumstances.
If you wish to object, please contact us at hello@the-old-schoolhouse.com and explain your concerns.
MARKETING
We will only send electronic marketing communications where we have an appropriate lawful basis to do so.
Where you have consented to receive marketing communications from us, you can withdraw your consent at any time by using any unsubscribe facility provided or by contacting us at hello@the-old-schoolhouse.com.
