The cost is payable upon demand and, subject to any incurred losses, not limited to loss of rental, interest, and other consequential charges as may be incurred by The West Wing and/or The School House.  Minor breakages are not usually charged for being reasonable wear and tear but the hirer must report any damage before departure.  The Owners operate a non-smoking policy throughout all properties.  A £25 charge will be levied if keys are taken from the property on departure; this is for replacements and inconvenience.
