3. Responsibility During Hire

The hirer accepts full responsibility for the beach hut, its contents, and any guests using the facility during the hire period.

4. Damages or Missing Items

Any damage, breakages, or missing items identified after your booking may result in some or all of the security deposit being retained. Additional charges may apply where costs exceed the deposit amount.

5. Weather

As the beach hut is an outdoor leisure facility, weather conditions are beyond our control. No refunds or date changes will be offered due to wind, rain, cold weather, or other unfavourable conditions.
