Prior
to arrival The following information has been provided for your assistance and safety and we recommend that you read this information. Here are the answers to many of the questions that are asked...everything from when to arrive to how to care for the environment when you're there. We've tried to cover the most common questions asked though, obviously, you may have some further questions which you would like to ask.(a booklet with concise details will be available on arrival) Arriving & departing All bookings run weekly from Saturday to Saturday, unless otherwise agreed. We will notify you of how to collect the keys on arrival. Please advise us of your estimated arrival time, which should normally be after 4pm . On your departure day, you are required to leave your property by 10am. This is to allow us sufficient time to prepare the property for the next arrivals. Security Deposits A security deposit of €200 or £200 in cash is payable on arrival at your accommodation. This will be returned by post in the form of a £ sterling cheque once the cleaners have filed their report on the property, normally within two days.
We offer space for off-road parking for up to three cars on the gravel area; we do not have an enclosed garden suitable for children and it is requested that you do not leave children unsupervised in the garden. Cleaning Our property is cleaned between lets so all you have to do when you get here is unpack and put the kettle on. There is no extra charge for cleaning, unless extra, heavy cleaning is required after you leave, or you do not leave the property and its contents as in the state of cleanliness as you found it. Sleeping Arrangements, Bed linen & towels Our property sleeps a maximum of six people in three separate bedrooms under no circumstances may more than the maximum number of persons indicated occupy the property. Linen is provided at no extra
charge, this does not include cot linen - you should bring linen for cots
in all cases (including pillows and blankets or duvets). Mains electricity The voltage of electricity in France is the same as the UK but the plugs are different so please remember to bring travel adapters. Fuel and Water There is no additional charge
for electricity, gas, heating (radiator/towel rails), water or other fuels
(logs for wood burner) during the period April- September. Charges for
under floor heating which is normally only activated between October -
March is payable as an additional fixed sum of €60 per week.
UK satellite freeview television is provided along with dvd/cd and video player Properties with character La Grand Font is an old property; much of its character and charm is due to its age being well over 200 years old. Even though it has been sympathetically renovated to a modern high standard you must appreciated that it was originally built before the days of damp-proof courses and cavity insulation. Bear this in mind if you're planning to bring an elderly person or very young child with you, especially if it's going to be between October and April. Also, please remember that there are steep stairs and low beams. In rural locations, people around you will often be earning their living and country hours can run into the late evening and very early morning. So be tolerant when it comes to sounds and scents - it's all part of being in the country! Pets Pets are not allowed at La Grand Font as a few feral cats have adopted us and do an admirable job of keeping the rodent population in check.
A basic standard cot and high
chair facility is available free of charge. We do have easy walking access to the principal rooms (sitting room, dining room, kitchen, one of the bedrooms, a toilet and a shower room)for people who need to use a walking aid.
We take the safety and wellbeing of all our visitors very seriously. Our property is well maintained for your comfort and safety. Nevertheless, please remember that when you stay in unfamiliar surroundings, you must take special care of yourself and your family. In particular: Check the layout of your holiday
property so that in an emergency you can get out quickly and easily. Swimming pools The unheated freshwater swimming pool is open between the end-May to mid-September, it is regularly maintained but unusual climatic changes can affect the chemical balance, which often results in the water becoming discoloured or cloudy. You should contact us in these circumstances and a period of time - at least 24 hours in most cases - allowed for rectification. Please also follow the safety information below - Swimming pools are used at
your own risk and there are no lifeguards on duty. Gas appliances Gas cookers - as you would at home, ensure that gas cookers are turned off after use, and in particular, check this before you go to bed. Children should be supervised at all times. If you have any concerns about the safety of your property, whether it be the garden, the equipment or the facilities, then please tell Judith or Philip immediately. We want you to have a safe and happy holiday - a few minutes taking some simple precautions could make the difference between a holiday enjoyed and a holiday spoiled. Use of activity equipment Activity equipment such as sporting equipment is your responsibility. You are responsible to (i) ensure that you are familiar with the operation of the equipment, (ii) satisfy yourself that the equipment is safe to use, (iii) to use the equipment responsibly, and (iv) to supervise children using the equipment at all times. Driving Laws, licensing requirements and age limits vary overseas. Please make sure you are familiar with the driving requirements of the country you are visiting. Dissatisfaction We work very hard to ensure that you will have an enjoyable holiday. However, in the unlikely event that you are dissatisfied with your accommodation, then it is very important that you register this straight away with Philip or Judith Parker and do not wait until you return home, when the chance of actively helping you has passed. Even if you think nothing could be done to make your situation better, you must say something while you are on holiday.
La Grand Font is set in some
of the loveliest part of rural France, so naturally we are interested
in anything we can do to help preserve the environment. Please: Don't litter
When you book your holiday the last thing you want to think about is what would happen if you found yourself unable to go. But mishaps do happen, and that's why having cancellation protection is so important. Please ensure that you are fully insured (which includes cancellation protection) for such an occurrence. If you cancel your booking
