About last-minute deals

Why is a last-minute deal cheaper?

A last-minute deal is a date that opened up through a cancellation or is still free within six weeks. We would rather have a guest with a discount than an empty house. The price applies only to those dates, while they last.

Can I cancel a last-minute booking?

Last-minute deals are non-refundable, but can be moved if another last-minute date is free. That is why the price is so low.

How often are new dates added?

This page is updated every morning from our booking engine. New dates also appear on Instagram and Facebook.

What people ask us

Is the price for the whole house or per person?

For the whole house. Final cleaning, linen and energy are included.

Can we arrive earlier or leave later?

If the house is free before or after, usually yes. Ask when you book and we will confirm the week before.

What if the weather is really bad?

Then it’s a proper Beaufort weekend. Bar, pool table, a kitchen for twenty, and the Ofyr on the terrace doesn’t mind the rain. The beach is at its best when it’s windy.
