Local Heritage sites

Cornwall’s vibrant image has evolved from a rich history and culture which still lives and breathes through the sites and scenery scattered throughout the county today. And with over fifty miles of heritage coastline, stone circles, castles and a rich maritime heritage, it’s a history worthy of discovery and celebration. Here is just a small selection worthy of a detour.

Oven & Grill

The Oven (electric)

The oven is heated by two elements: one at the top of the oven and the other underneath the floor of the oven.

To heat the oven, turn the selector switch to the required function. The control panel illumination and oven light will remain on. Then turn the oven temperature control to the required temperature. The oven indicator light will immediately come on and will remain on until the oven reaches the set temperature. This light will then automatically go on and off during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.

Food should not be placed on the floor of the oven.

For gas ovens, turn the oven selector to the desired position and depress either the knob or the igniter button to light the gas. Hold the knob for five seconds before releasing.

The Grill (electric)

Select cooking method by turning control knob to select the required grill setting. The interior light will come on and the grill is ready to use.

For grilling and toasting use full width grill setting, half grill is suitable for small quantities of food as only the inner part of the grill will heat up. Once you have chosen the required setting, the indicator will light and remain on until the required internal temperature is reached. The indicator will go on and off throughout cooking although the grill remains on. To turn the grill off turn selector switch to position 0.

For gas grills, follow the procedure for gas ovens using the grill selector.

Park & Beach

Whilst the area is widely regarded as one of outstanding natural beauty we would remind guests that extreme care should be taken when walking. You should always keep to the established footpaths and keep clear of the edge of the highlands. Small children should be supervised at all times.

Parking

Each holiday home has a parking bay for one vehicle only. If you have additional vehicles please park them in one of the public parking areas. Please do not park on the grass or try to squeeze a second vehicle onto your parking place – we will ask you to move it.

Electric Vehicles parked alongside your accommodation should not be charged from the accommodation power supply. Please charge your vehicles at an appropriate EV charging point either on park or in the local area.
Thank you.

Pets

Praa Sands is a wonderful place for you to holiday with your dogs. Not only do they have the opportunity of enjoying the park, there is also so much for them to do in the local area including walking on the beach and exploring all around.

In order to ensure the enjoyment of everyone we would ask that you adhere to the following:

Keep your dog on a lead
You must keep your dog on a lead at all times when walking through the park and on the golf course. This applies to all dogs irrespective of how well trained they are!

Do not allow your dog to foul indiscriminately
Please ensure you always pick up any deposits left by your dog and place in the appropriate bins.

  • Dogs are not permitted in the following areas:
    In any of the holiday lodges on hire unless a designated pet unit
  • In the bar and restaurant (dogs are permitted on the sun terrace outside)

Do not allow your dog to be a nuisance
We would ask that dogs do not sit on the furniture or the beds. Dogs should only be left alone in the accommodation if you are sure that they will not bark to the point of annoying other customers or cause any damage to the lodge.

Security Deposit

Your security deposit is taken through the booking system and will be returned to you 10 days after departure. We will ring-fence just £1 to help you manage your money. By doing this your bank has pre-authorised Haulfryn to debit your account £250.00 should we see fit. Rest assured no monies were taken at check-in although it may affect your account balance; this is our security deposit.

Within 24hrs of check-out, this holiday home shall be checked by a member of Haulfryn staff; if you leave the holiday home in the condition you found it then Haulfryn shall not claim the security deposit. If there are any damages, breakages, or missing items above the normal wear & tear of a holidaymaker, then Haulfryn shall claim the £250.00 security deposit you have authorised. Should Haulfryn feel it necessary to claim the security deposit post-check-out, you shall be notified as soon as possible as to the reason.

Terms and Conditions

  1. Your accommodation will be in a clean, tidy and well-presented manner for your arrival. If you believe this is not the case, please notify a member of the team on the day of arrival so we can rectify any issues or make a note of anything that you have brought to our attention. Written confirmation of any issues raised should be obtained from the team member it was reported to.
  2. Any issues that were not highlighted to a member of park staff on the day of arrival after check-in will be included in the post-departure assessment of the holiday home & may result in a claim against the holidaymaker’s security deposit.
  3. At check-in, a security deposit of £250 (one hundred British pounds) will be required. This will be taken by pre-authorising your credit or debit card upon arrival at the park. You shall be responsible for all damages or breakages caused by you and/or members of your party to the property or its contents (including the cost of any work needed to rectify any issues, damage or breakages). Reasons for monies being taken from your account are not exclusive to but could include:
    3.1. Contents of the property are found to be missing, broken or have been damaged beyond the normal wear and tear;
    3.2. Damage has been caused to the property itself;
    3.3. Cleaning charges in excess of the normal level of cleaning;
    3.4. Smoking has occurred inside the property;
    3.5. Animals have been inside a non-pet friendly holiday home;

  4. For any claims against your security deposit;
    4.1. Haulfryn shall obtain a quote for the damage repair or replacement, after which you shall be notified of the full amount due.
    4.2. If the full value of damage repair or replacement does not total the full value of the security deposit you shall be contacted by Haulfryn and have seventy-two (72) hours to settle the sum due, after which, if the balance has not been settled, Haulfryn will claim the full security deposit.
    4.3. If the full value of damage repair or replacement totals more than the full value of the security deposit, you will be contacted for any additional payment.
  5. If a holiday home requires numerous smaller repairs, Haulfryn may keep the full value of the security deposit.
  6. Monies could also be held by Haulfryn Group Limited as a result of a breach by you and/or members of your party of any of the following rules in connection with a Hot Tub on Park:
    6.1. Keep the cover on the hot tub when you are not using it. Shower before and after use. Maximum bathe time 15 minutes. Only use your hot tub between 0830 – 2230.
    6.2. Never use the hot tub whilst under the influence of alcohol. Never use the hot tub during a thunderstorm or when lightning is forecast.
    6.3. If any of the above is found to be true, Haulfryn Group Ltd will retain your Security deposit as appropriate at their sole discretion.
  7. Haulfryn will attempt to notify all holidaymakers within 72 (seventy-two) hours of finding any damaged or missing items if Haulfryn feels there is reason to make any claims against a security deposit.
  8. You are not permitted to charge your electric vehicle (EV) from the power supply within your accommodation. EVs should only be charged at professionally installed charging points either in the park or in the local area. Haulfryn will seek to recover from your recompense to cover any damages caused by a breach of this policy.
  9. A 20% maintenance charge will be applied to any product, works or service carried out by Haulfryn or a third party.
  10. The pre-authorised amount is set aside by your card issuer for a period of at least 10 (ten) days from the date of pre-authorisation. The pre-authorisation will affect your available funds, balance, or spending limit. For more information please contact your card issuer.
  11. Once a pre-authorisation has been made, Haulfryn Group Ltd cannot release, remove or lower the pre-authorised amount. This is a restriction imposed by the card issuer, and cannot be negotiated.
  12. No card details are stored by Haulfryn.
