Rights of Occupation:
The hirer will occupy the accommodation by way of licence only and not under a tenancy. The licence to occupy shall permit the hirer and members of their party as shown on the booking form (but no one else) to occupy the property for holiday purposes only. No more than the maximum number of persons stated on the website and included on the booking form may occupy a property unless by prior written agreement from Well Farm Cottages & Glamping.

During the period of occupation, the hirer is responsible for the care of the property and its contents, fixtures and fittings. It is expected that the hirer and their group will treat the property with respect and leave the property and its contents, fixtures and fittings in a clean and tidy condition. This includes the correct bagging and disposal of rubbish/waste/recycling and the bagging and disposal of dog mess from the gardens/grounds in the appropriate bin. Well Farm Cottages & Glamping reserves the right to charge a security deposit payable to Mrs Clare Horn. This deposit will be refunded to the hirer in the week following the holiday, but a deduction may be made for any breakages or damages done to the property, contents, fixtures or fittings, or the communal areas, if the accommodation is not left clean and tidy, or if waste, rubbish, recycling or dog mess is not disposed of correctly, or if damage is done to communal equipment eg the playground or games room.

If the property is not relet, the hirer remains responsible for the deposit and there will be no refund under any circumstances. From eight weeks before arrival to the day of arrival, the hirer remains responsible for the full rent and there will be no refund unless Well Farm Cottages & Glamping are able to re-let the dates, in which case the hirer will be refunded all or part of the sum already paid, depending on the value of the replacement booking, taking into account whether the property was relet at a discount and the reasonable time and administration costs involved. Once a booking has been accepted and either the deposit or full balance has been paid, it can only be changed to either another property or different dates by treating the original booking as a cancellation. Holiday dates may be changed providing the property is available for the new dates and Well Farm Cottages & Glamping agrees to the change. A booking charge may be payable.

During your stay:

And Finally … Directions:
Satnav is great, but it isn’t perfect. It has a little blindspot where North Tamerton is concerned. It likes to play a little trick on unsuspecting guests, who are tired and “nearly there”. It likes you to travel the last 15 miles or so down some horrible single-track lanes with quite a few pot holes and a very very narrow bridge. These instructions should cause you less stress (and less scrapes on your car): Well Farm Cottages are in the village of North Tamerton on the Cornwall side of the Cornwall / Devon border. Just to confuse you, we have a Devon postal address! From the M5, J31 at Exeter, take the A30 towards Okehampton/Launceston/Bodmin. At Pennygillam Junction leave the A30 and you will come to Pennygillam roundabout. Take the fourth exit for town centre/ Bude / Holsworthy. Follow the road into town (coop petrol station coming up on the right if you need it) – keep going and you’ll see Launceston Castle high on your right. Bear left down the long hill until you go over the little bridge, past another petrol station and come to a mini roundabout. Take the second exit straight up over St Stephen’s hill, over speed bumps. Pass St Stephen’s church on the right and continue out of town on the B3254. You’ll come to Yeolmbridge (over a one-way bridge),then to Ladycross and Bennacott. After about 9 miles you will see a right hand turning marked “North Tamerton 2 ½”. Take this turning – it is a country lane with farmland on either side. Upon entering the village you will see terraced bungalows on the left and houses to the right. Proceed down the hill straight through the small crossroads (church on left set back from the road). After a further 100 metres the road bends slightly to the left and you will see the entrance to Well Farm on your left. Proceed up the drive – you have arrived! If you reach the stone bridge at the bottom of the hill in North Tamerton, you have missed the entrance – do a U turn. But if you really want to do it your way (!) our postcode for satnav is EX22 6RX
