If the house is left unattended it must be locked. At the end of your stay you are to leave the house and contents in the same condition as when you arrived. This includes returning of all furniture and appliances to where they were when you arrived. Please note that as the person making the booking you are held responsible for any and all people staying with you at the holiday house including any 3rd party invitees. You will be held legally responsible for any losses, breakages and any damage to the holiday house, its facilities, or amenities that occur during your holiday.
