House Rules

We aim to provide all our guests with a safe, relaxing stay whilst maintaining the quality and standards they expect. Respecting our community, we ask all guests to respect the following house rules:

  • Only booked guests should enter and use our accommodation. Please inform us before your arrival if your number of guests has ­­changed. Written permission from us is needed for anyone other than booked guests to enter and use the accommodation

  • Rental Agreement: a rental agreement is required to be completed and electronically signed for all reservations.

  • Security Deposit: a security deposit is required for all reservations and will be collected by our secure online system

  • Parties and other such events are not allowed at any time. If a complaint from a neighbour is received the police may be called and this may put your booking and/or­­­ deposit in jeopardy.

  • Noise: This is a residential area. We ask that you respect our neighbours’ privacy. Specifically, between the hours of 11pm and 8am noise should be kept to a minimum.

  • Safety and Security: Please ensure all non-essential electrics are turned off before going out and that all doors and windows are securely closed and locked. Any damage resulting from not following these rules will be deducted from your damage deposit.

  • Electric Car Charging: please do not charge your car from the domestic sockets. Doing so invalidates our insurance and our electrical system is not designed for this. You will be held responsible for any consequences that may occur. Please look at https://www.zap-map.com/for local charging points.

  • No candles, incense, or naked flames to be used anywhere at any time. No glitter or confetti to be used.

  • Damages: Please inform us immediately of any damages, however small the issue, as the property is checked prior to your arrival. Failure to do so will result in a definite claim on the security deposit. We appreciate honesty and take this into consideration when dealing with these situations.

  • Bikes: No bikes to be brought inside any of our accommodation. Please bring a lock and lock your bike up outside.

  • No smoking or vaping anywhere inside or outside the accommodation.

  • Keys: Lost keys will be charged for. Please refer to your guest guide for collection and return. If your accommodation is left unsecured you may be held responsible for the consequences that may occur.

  • Travel Insurance: We strongly suggest you take out travel insurance. For instance, it may cover you if you need to cancel or cut short your holiday because of illness or injury.

Thank you in advance for your consideration from everyone at Smith UK Properties
