People who own holiday cottages to rent out - what do you put on your booking forms?

We have recently bought a holiday cottage for investment and have started to receive bookings (hooray!). I need to make up a booking form to send to people when I receive their deposit to confirm the booking. Does anyone have any tips about what to include? I have Term and Conditions of booking already, to attach to the form, but was wondering what I have to spell out on the form itself, beyond cost and the date that balance of payment should be received.

Another tips about handling 3rd party bookings, how you organise money etc, gratefully received.

thank you WW

We make loads of info available on web site; local walks, web address's for food and attractions, loads of photos etc
we email Ts and Cs on booking £200 deposit, balance 5 weeks before arrival.

We also have a sign above the AGA saying "please do not switch off after cooking"!

Beetroot - are you around today? I remember you advertising your holiday cottage on here last summer and I think you used an owners' listing website, yes? Can you tell me what that was and if you got a reasonable amount of feedback from it? I can't seem to find anything that doesn't charge massive commission. Thanks!
