This page is provided as a reference for anyone who booked a cottage in 2023 for occupancy in 2024.
All bookings made using the online booking system are provisional until confirmed by Westermill Farm.
When you submit a booking via the online reservation system you will receive an automatically generated booking summary by email — the summary will be sent to the email address provided on the booking form.
This does not form a contract between Westermill Farm Holidays and whoever submitted the form.
A contract shall only arise when your booking is confirmed via an email sent by Westermill Farm Holidays to the primary email address of the party who submitted the online form acknowledging receipt of the booking’s deposit or, in the case of a late booking, the full balance of payment.
For all clients who have made a booking in 2023, rest assured that the Terms and Conditions you agreed to will be honoured, except where the 2024 Terms and Conditions are more to your advantage. [Updated April 6, 2024]

A non-refundable deposit of 25% of the full amount is required in order to make a booking.
