Standard
A holiday house usually differs quite a bit from your own home. The furniture may be a mixture of old and modern. Plates, knives and forks don’t always match. Sometimes there are relatively few cupboards or other storage facilities. Bedrooms are usually small, sometimes without a door. Beds are sometimes of the more simple variety – if this is important for you, ask about the beds when you phone to make your reservation. Please note that a child is counted as one person when the number of beds is specified in the description if cribs or cots are not specifically mentioned. Water heaters sometimes have a limited capacity, so you may have to wait for your shower at busy times. Don’t forget to bring your own towels, bed-linen and supplies

Important
Extra facilities such as bikes and boats are not standard equipment, and we cannot therefore guarantee their standard or condition.

Pets
If you intend to bring your dog, cat or other pet, you must inform us when you book. Animals are not allowed in some of our properties. Our cottages are not protected against allergies. The symbol “pets not allowed” is no guarantee that the property has never previously housed any animals.

Cleaning
Cleaning is not included in the rental, so please ensure that you leave your cottage in a clean and tidy condition. If not, we will have the cleaning undertaken at your expense.

Rubbish
Blekinge has been operating rubbish sorting for some time. Please be careful about what you put in the bin – it is emptied once every two weeks, so you may have to leave some space for the next guest! The tourist office can tell you more about where to leave your recyclable waste.

Pests and other nuisances
In the summer you can sometimes encounter mice, mosquitoes, wasps, flies and other insects in and around the house. You may also find the occasional spider’s web, and there may be ants as well. The landlord cannot be held responsible for such occurrences. Should you notice any serious problems, please call the landlord immediately so that he can take prompt action. The landlord cannot be held responsible for nuisances off his land, for example road or building works.

Prices and charges
All prices exclude booking fee of SEK 100 and optional cancellation insurance (SEK 300). Unforeseen VAT adjustments may affect our prices. To confirm your reservation the booking fee must be paid within 10 days.

Deposit
For certain properties you may be requested to pay a deposit of up to SEK 500 when you arrive. This will be refunded on departure if you leave the property in the same state that you found it.

Approximate distances
All distances are only approximate.

Low season
During the low season (January till Midsummer, mid-August till December), several of our properties can be booked for less than one week, subject to a minimum of two nights.

Book a cottage on the Internet
You can book a cottage yourself by going into our websites (see addresses on the back cover). New properties will be added after this brochure has gone to press. You’ll find these on our websites, or you can get more information from local tourist offices.

How to book
1. Choose the cottage you would like to rent. It is always good to have one or two alternatives, just in case!

2. Book via our websites, phone or e-mail to the relevant tourist office or your travel agent. Quote the property’s reference number and the period for which you wish to rent it.

3. As soon as your reservation has been registered, we will mail you a confirmation and payment instructions.

4. Please always make sure that the confirmation agrees with what you booked!
