Many people prefer to look after themselves in self-catering accommodation rather than stay in a hotel, but, although you are mainly responsible for yourself, there are some circumstances which could lead to a holiday accident claim.
There is a huge choice of accommodation available both privately and through agencies in the UK and abroad. Old cottages and similar character buildings are a popular choice for couples looking to get away from it all, while families often enjoy a seaside bungalow, and large groups could rent a castle or a windmill.
When you book a self-catering holiday, you accept the living conditions won't be quite up to hotel standards, they may not even be quite like home and that is part of the charm of this style of accommodation. However, the owner of the property still has an obligation to provide somewhere which meets the description by which it is advertised and will not present you or your loved ones with any health or safety hazards.
If you go into the property without the owner or an agent accompanying you to explain about services such as electricity and any potential hazards, you will have to find out for yourself and will need to be aware of safety issues such as fire precautions, trip and slip dangers and other potential issues with the building which could cause personal injury.
When letting the property, the landlord or his agent should make you aware of your responsibility for your own safety on the premises but, at the same time, if there is a danger which should have been remedied or has come about through neglect and led to you having a holiday accident which is not your fault, you may be able to claim for damages for any ensuing pain or suffering.
