ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE Arrival and departure days are usually Saturdays but if this is inconvenient, we may be able to arrange a different starting day. Short breaks are available at some times of the year at two thirds of the weekly cost. The cottage will usually be ready for you to take over at 3pm at the start of your holiday. We will send your traveling instructions near to the date of your holiday. Please do not arrive early - time is needed to thoroughly clean the cottage between lets. For the same reason please ensure you are ready to leave the cottage by 10am on departure day.

METHODS OF PAYMENT You may prefer to pay the full amount for your holiday straight away - and you must do so if you are making your booking less than 30 days before your start date. If you are making full payment we should receive the complete rental shown, otherwise a deposit of one third of the cottage price should be paid on booking. If you cancel for any reason and we cannot re-let, all payments will be retained. If we can re-let all payments will be returned, less any costs, forced discounts etc. incurred. Should we cancel for any reason the only liability we will incur is to return any payments made. The balance of payment must be received by 30 days before your holiday begins. Payment may be made by cheque, crossed and made payable to Grace Cottages, and sent to Mrs. P. Priestley, Caudwell’s Mill Craft Centre, Rowsley, Matlock, Derbys, DE4 2EB. Alternatively you may pay using most major debit/credit cards - telephone Mrs. Priestley on 01629 584634 or 01629 733185 . Electricity and gas central heating are free of charge. You are welcome to use our logs for a couple of initial fires but then please purchase your own so that other guests can enjoy this facility too.

YOUR PARTY Please give details of all members of your party, for insurance purposes, when you make your final payment. We accept couples and family groups only and under no circumstances may the number of guests exceed 6 plus baby. If you have any breakages please inform us, minor accidents are bound to happen occasionally, but any damage to the property, furniture, fixtures and fittings must be paid for and you are jointly and severally liable.

There are books, maps (OS. both large scale local and further afield) games, a wind break, beach tent and sun hats, to cover every eventuality. An iron, ironing board and hair dryer are available for your use. There is a church and a pub in the village and there are several excellent eating places in and around Bridport. The Riverside Restaurant (West Bay) is nationally acclaimed for its fresh fish menu (See Bill Bryson’s Notes From a Small Island) There are supermarkets on the outskirts of Bridport,  a P.O./General store and a butcher in the village. Clematis Cottage is ideal for a quiet relaxing holiday but for those who enjoy the bustle of a traditional English seaside town, Weymouth is only twenty minutes by car. The nearest golf course is two miles from the cottage, at West Bay and there are riding facilities near by. West Bay and the surrounding coastline has featured in many television series and major films and is part of the Jurassic Coast Official World Heritage site.
