These are minor additional fees which we will request from you after we have accepted your booking. Dogs are welcome at this property by strict agreement. Please advice us when you book if there are dogs in your party. We advise you of the relevant and ADDITIONAL supplement charges via the Airbnb messaging platform on receipt of your booking, and usually straight away. PLEASE TAKE CARE TO CAREFULLY READ AND ACT PROMPTLY ON OUR MESSAGE(S) - Thank You:) We only 'Accept' your booking once you have told us - via the messaging system - that you are content to pay the supplement charges applicable to your booking. When we have 'Accepted' your booking we will then request payment for the additional supplements via the Airbnb card payment platform. The winter energy supplement is £7 per night - September to May. The summer energy supplement is £5 per night - June to August. The dog supplement is £5 per dog per night - maximum of 2. This platform does not show the correct dog supplement rate as it is quoted by 'Trip' and not 'Night' ! If you wish to bring a dog(s) you must advice us of this request in your first point of contact. We also request your agreement to comply with our T & C's regarding any dog(s) travelling in your party before being able to 'Accept' your booking.

THE AIRBNB SYSTEM ONLY GIVES THE HOST 24 HOURS TO 'ACCEPT' OR 'DECLINE' A BOOKING AND DELAYS IN COMMUNICATION MAY PREVENT US FROM ACCEPTING IT - 3 OUT OF 4 GUESTS FALL INTO THIS TRAP!!! PLEASE RESPOND PROMPTLY SO WE CAN PROGRESS YOUR BOOKING and DELIVER A GREAT HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE :) *** NOTE: In respect to VERY last minute bookings we may DECLINE your reservation within 12 hours of responding to your RESERVATION if you have not responded to our messages, as the reservation will prevent other Airbnb users from booking with us. We also receive continuous emails, messages and texts from Airbnb firmly prompting us to either ACCEPT or DECLINE the booking from the moment you place the Reservation, which is not compatible with our direct booking business model because we do not have the resource to field this level of automated system generated prompts. If YOU have not replied after 12 hours of US responding to YOUR Reservation we will form the opinion that you are not content to pay additional supplement fees or you are declining to provide your Party Information (or both) which we require for insurance related purposes.
